She also used more words this weekend than I think she ever has before. She was a non-stop chatter-box! Nick and I got new phones finally, so for everyone who I talk to you won't be cut off anymore! I also spent a bit of time with my Mom who is not doing well. She could barely swallow her saliva and spent several times (as my stomach churned) choking. She asked me to have Nick come down and give her a blessing. It was a simple blessing of encouragment and strength. The spirit was strong and I was once again grateful for the priesthood and being married to a man worthy to hold it! I also read several chapters of "Finding Peace, Happiness, and Joy" by Richard G. Scott, an amazing book for anyone who hasn't read it! Unfortunately my time with her wasn't as long as I had hoped because both days she wore out rather quickly. The rest of the time was filled with some charged political discussion with his parents so you can probably guess how exciting that was! Although we are all voting for the same guy there was some misunderstanding when it came to talking about Fox news. While I admire that there is at least one broadcast that is conservative, I can't feel good about how dirty they fight for it and how much more "entertainment" there is about it than legitimate, truthful news. All news stations are of that same quality at this point in order to compete and so I tire of having to sift through all the garbage and half-truths. Anyhow, it was a pretty good weekend but I'm glad to be back home :)Monday, October 20, 2008
Weekend Away
Well, once again we went up to Nick's parents place for the weekend. Aviendha had the best time playing with her favorite Aunt!

What a cute picture! How old is the aunt? Hailey has always enjoyed having Kelsi so close in age to her. And thanks for sharing about your mom... I'm glad that you were able to spend a little time with her, even if it wasn't as long as you'd hoped.
She is 8, about 6 years older than Aviendha.
how fun that she has fun playing with Emily. Oh yea just so you know you can now block text msgs with t-mobile that way you don't have to worry about getting charged... just call customer care and they can block all messages.
Yeah, we know about blocking the text messages. Unfortunately we don't want to block each other because sometimes we need to text in emergencies when Nick is in a meeting at work.
How fun getting to play with her auntie! It was like Tekara playing with Jarrin! I should start texting you! :) just kidding!
Its so sweet how much she loves Emmy!! What a cute picture!
Aw, she's a cutie! Its gonna be crazy when I see her next being 2 years old! Its so insane! by the way, i like your previous thing on Obama. i agree. My roommates and I were just discussing politics and talking about Obamas moral issues like partial birth abortions and support of gay marriage and how those are two huge things that we as LDS people should be seriously concerned about. Anyways, it was interesting. Ttyl!
