just thinking...

some random thoughts from my november monday...


  • the rain is starting to set in here in oregon. i'm totally ok with it... really, i am.


  • i hate canker sores. last month i had 15 at one time, and then i realized how much of a blessing it was to marry a dentist. he special ordered cotton candy topical for me. that's love.


  • we might be buying a house soon. scary/exciting/lots of mixed emotions.


  • my girls found the wonder of open gymnastics. they've been praying about it for a week now. we will probably be back every week this winter. best $6 i've spent in a long time.


  • i'm the mia maids advisor in young womens now. i LOVE it. i hope i can always be in young womens. i appreciate the fact that they appreciate everything i do.


  • piper is super in to "go fish" right now. like the card game... she could play for days without end.


  • i'm in the middle of lots of photo shoot editing right now. tis the season. when will i get time to create my own christmas card?


  • sophie pretty much lives in an imaginary world. she changes her name all the time and pulls piper right in with her. i love how they play together. today i heard her say to piper, "i'm bloody! can you fix me doctor!?" usually in a british accent.


  • i love fall tv. i'm totally getting my mom addicted. hehe.


  • i forgot how beautiful portland is in the fall. i knew i would miss new england's autumn but portland is right up there. just add moss and evergreens.


  • allie surprised us last wednesday with a visit and stayed until today. we took a trip to my grandparents in nevada two weeks before that. brookie and her roomies/friends came two weeks before that. amy/jordan/spencer came the same weekend for the byu game. allie/mike came two weeks before that for conference. and they also came a month before that. we went to amy/jordan's a week before that. we saw my grandparents and mom's family two weeks before that... catch my drift? I LOVE ALL THE VISITS THE WEST COAST OFFERS.

      no this wasn't planned. we must all be related.

      Oooh, exciting about a house! I can only imagine that it will be GORGEOUS - you have such nice taste.

      Yay, you're in YW! The hardest part of YW for me is trying to be a leader and not their friend. Fingers crossed for your house! Your girls are the sweetest things. Thanks for letting us in your head.
