The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Today I finally broke down and bought a big bag of Halloween candy at Target. I'm probably going to have buy another one next week because I don't expect this one to last until next Saturday. Tonight I just realized that the advantage of having a baby in February means that I have free reign during the holidays to eat whatever I want. Awesome.

Jessie! Congrats on buying the house--that's awesome and so exciting! I hope everything goes well and it's not too stressful.

I love your idea about teaching your kids about different countries--you're so creative.

Anyway, I miss you and hope you're pregnancy goes well! Enjoy the crisp fall weather for me--it's still way too hot here!

That happens to me every year with Halloween candy. I've polished off more candy corn this year than I care to admit. It's so addicting.

I've been so good, the huge bag of candy I bought at Costco (good chocolate stuff) a couple of weeks ago is still unopened! =)

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog.

I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

We ended up serving together in the same district for nearly seven and a half months and had a lot of good times together. He was actually nice to the sisters and a hard worker, without being too zealous and overbearing. I knew he was going home just a month before me and planning on being an English major when he got back to BYU. When I was transferred out of that area, we exchanged emails and addresses and promised to get back in touch some day, like I did with a lot of other missionaries. I got home in January and started trying to contact some of the people I'd been friends with back in the mission. I emailed this particular elder and found out that he had gone to the computer lab that very day in order to email me. We started emailing each other and talked on the phone a few t...
