Baby Eli.

This past weekend we took a trip up to Rexburg, ID to meet Baby Eli Fisher and of course see how the parents are doing!! mom and dad fisher seem to be absolutely WONDerful. They are such great parents. It was so fun to see them with their sweet baby Eli. Even Jason was in love with this little boy!!! Eli is so cute!!!! i can't wait to see and hold him again :) I enjoyed every moment i got to hold him- even tried out the Moby wrap. (i def loved that!)

Craig took us out shooting on saturday morning. it was a fun experience, loud, im surprised eli slept through it all!!

We went to dinner later on saturday to watch the giants game... the only one of the series they lost..




Look at that cute face!!! Thanks so much Fisher family for letting us come and stay with you and HOG baby ELI!!!!!!!!!

any GIANTS fans in UTAH?

So apparently no one likes the Giants in Utah. Okay maybe some people do, like US and they have no GIANTS apparel ANYWHERE!!!! Online shopping you say... OF Course... MINUS the 3-5 day shipping, okay so get overnight, well apparently it still takes 3-5 days to process orders and then overnight shipping. Well this was not quick enough for us.. so we improvised.. I think they are pretty sweet. GO GIANTS!!!!! (and jason got a beard at the halloween store... he is going to wear his beard and giants apparel all around town..!!!!) GO GIGANTES!!!!!!
and no Ethan, we are not rooting for Texas just because Zachy is there, we are still rooting for the GIANTS and you better believe ZACH is TOO!

snow... on october 27th...

When i left for work this morning, i saw this:

Luckily not too much stuck on the ground, just on cars and in the trees and a little on the ground. welcome winter..ummmmmmmph..

the semester is half full.

That is my optimistic version of the semester is half way over!!!!!! i love school, but it is hard to be optimistic when you want life to move on and be done with school. Patience is tough. Im working on it. as i am working on not getting angry for no reason as Zach talked about in his most recent letter. "Like all those times when huge fights between Devyn and Erin would start because Devyn would wear a shirt of Erin's and she hung it up backwards, so erin knew she had worn it. (those were the good old days. Actually not really. I used to cry when you guys fought)." I never realized that we would make zachy cry. I feel awful but zach has made an immediate impact in my daily life. From just this simple letter, he has taught me that we affect everyone around us. It breaks my heart at the thought of me making zachy cry. So to think that i can hurt other children of God makes me sad. I never want to hurt anyone. I need to be slow to anger and be more patient. Thanks Elder Wagner for being so righteous and serving the Lord. Thanks for leaving your family for a short time so other families can be together for eternity. and thanks for your weekly letters of inspiration. I am proud to call you my Brother.

best friends make life bearable.

life is not easy. everyone knows that. but something else everyone should know is how much more bearable BEST friends make it. not just my BEST friend who rubs my back while i cry to sleep because i had a bad day or im terribly homesick, but my best friends who call because i had a weird FB status update, or remember i have a test tomorrow or are just walking/driving home or on their way to work. Best friends who share their secrets, and vent. best friends who leave me silly messages and never fail to let me know they love me. Best friends who reassure me everything is going to be okay. Best friends who write me snail mail. Best friends who legitimately care and want to know how i am. Best friends who see me at my worst and at my best. Best friends who put candy on my pillow when i go to napa to visit, who i confide everything in and share all my clothes. Best friends who stay up late having great conversations, and attend bingo together. Best friends who are in the same state and make an effort to meet up for dinner. been Best friends forever or just best friends for a few years- Best friends who LOVE me for ME no matter what.
and even a best friend who listens to my words morning and night and knows me and always knows my needs-this best friend has brought all my best friends into my life to make my life on earth bearable. I am blessed with some Amazing BEST friends!

Conference Waffles.

growing up we always(at least most of the time.) had delicious waffles on general conference sunday. so whenever we don't go up to conference we enjoy our delicious waffles. for those of you who don't know what general conference is, General Conference is a semiannual world conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held in April and October, where members gather for five two-hour sessions to listen to instruction from Church leaders. AKA Church on tv, not getting out of PJ's, comfy couch, but most of all, hearing our Prophet and Apostles words.
