Visit to Provo

Again.. this was in June (6/13/2010). A childhood friend of mine was getting married, plus my parents and Rachel & Darrin would be there, so I decided to make the trip (alone!). Lincoln did really well in the car, thank goodness. Well, not too much of terror because I don't remember. I had to get back to St. George on Sunday to teach a lesson in church, so it was a quick trip. We had fun and I'm glad we got to see you guys!

Hemming without the "Home-Sewn Look"

A while ago I took a class to "get to know" my Bernina sewing machine better. The classes are free if you buy a Bernina (in Provo/St. George, anyway). I learned how to take some designer jeans... and hem them shorter (I'm 5'2") but WITHOUT looking like I did it. It's actually not part of the class, but the teacher was complaining about her daughter's "jean collection." She bought a fancy pair in a place that did hems for free** and just looked at how they did it. And it is EASY! Plus I patched some of the trendy worn-out holes with the techniques we learned in class. If you know how to USE your sewing machine, sewing is MUCH, MUCH easier.

I didn't realize how sloppy it looked rolled up...

I could have made them a little shorter...
but it was late and I didn't feel like unpicking.

Swimming at Las Palmas

Yes, this was back in the beginning of June (6/5/10), but I got some really cute pictures.

Love this one.

Lily did not want her picture taken.
Still a cute picture. :)

Afterwards... warm & dry!

Update... Sorry about the Break

I guess I just don't take blogging too seriously. I want to keep family that doesn't live here updated, but sometimes I get behind... and then I DREAD catching up. So I don't. Until now. I will try, anyway.

Some BIG news...

We bought a home! Well, we are still in the process, so I guess we haven't technically bought it yet. I will keep updating as I get more info. It's in the Bloomington Hills area. We are both excited to get our own place! We will finally have room for our guests (no more hide-a-bed and air mattresses... hopefully). We are supposed to close on the house on September 3rd... and can move in on the 11th.

And some BIGGER news...

We are having another baby! I will be in the 2nd trimester tomorrow... which means the baby is due March 3rd. Some of you may be thinking... "Didn't she JUST have a baby??" Yes, sort of. 13 months ago. They will be 19-20 months apart, exactly as planned. 2 years apart in school. Perfect. Any guesses whether it is a boy or girl?? Take the poll. I am supposed to find out on the 17th of September.
