My dad
There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. -John Gregory Brown, Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery
Thanks for all the years of gold thread talking.
You’ve taught me more than you realize.
Happy 84th!
Happy Birthday, Kate!
Happy Birthday, Peter!
Happy Birthday, Brittney!
With love . . . creatively
On our first Valentine’s Day together, before we were even engaged, Don started a tradition that he has continued throughout our marriage. He often presents me with some sort of creative card, carefully thought out and tailored just for me.
The first year after we’d only been dating a few months, he bought a card that looked like this:
But because it would never have been proper to give an innocent BYU coed a card featuring naked people, he “dressed it up” like this:
And then finished the process with the picket fence with our initials carefully carved in the heart shaped handle.
And he still warms my heart!
Happy Birthday, Nikki!
Happy Birthday, Nate

money

relationships



looking forward to a productive and rewarding 2010!
This makes me happy!
This week I’m looking forward to the whole family being together for Thanksgiving. Lucy and Sam have brought our grand total to 17 which is a lot of bodies in this house! That also means a lot of card playing, football watching, loud laughing . . . and a lot of rolls for Thanksgiving dinner, and we’re excited!
What are you thankful for?
I’m thankful for all 17 noisy family members!
Enjoy the holiday
