Where Has The Week Gone?

It is Thursday, I thought yesterday was Monday but somehow yesterday was Wednesday.  Which I almost forgot, but then remembered because one of my Young Women asked me to come get her.  This was monumental! No it was bigger than that.  Because ever since I was put in as 1st counselor in the Young Women I have told my darling Mia Maids that I love them I want them there but I will not come and kidnap them from them homes.  A technique that the leader before me did often.  She would just show up randomly and drag them to Young Women's.  They all cheered that I would not employ this technique and promptly quit coming.  

My numbers dropped the counselor over me asked if I was doing the right thing, the YW President asked if I was doing the right thing the Bishop asked if I was doing the right thing and on and on.

Then on Sunday one of them asked me to come get her.  My heart cheered, my heart danced, and I finally felt I had done the right thing.  Hey, it only took about 7 months to feel like I was doing the right thing. Not only that but all of my girls showed up.  Ok, when I say all you should know I only have two.  I bet you think that is pretty weird for Utah.  

It was an awesome night and by the time I dropped my beautiful girls at their homes we were laughing and had a very fun night.  They are awesome girls, (have you noticed how much I use that word)I know that the war was not won last night but I think it was a major victory.  I was even asked to come and get them again next week.  Picture in your mind if you will me doing a little happy dance. 

Which brings me back to the fact that somehow I have lost almost a full week.  Well it turns out that I am grounded today.  I know this because my laundry told me so.  So you will probably hear from me again today.  Mainly because I have been tagged?  What is this tagged business?  Guess I will have to figure it out.  But I have all day after work to figure it out.  I'm out of here on my way to play in the water.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
