have you ever shuffled all songs on your ipod and felt like it knew just what you needed?
well, last night i was headed to the hospital for an overnight shift and was looking for some peace and serenity before entering the pit for the evening. about 4 minutes from the hospital and r.e.m.'s 'nightswimmng' started up. a flood of nostalgia and relaxation buoyed me to the hospital parking lot. i got our of the car and weezer's 'good life' accompanied me into the place. my shift started in style and life is good...
next on the agenda...what to do with the family over thanksgiving...

yeah. that sounds pretty good. i like that picture of me. I would like cook my new delicious stuffed french toast on thursday morning (just in time for paul to wake up to). so mom, could you bring some of the delicious grandma's bread? i'll also need some cream cheese, bananas, strawberries, and cinnamon. i guess we could do it saturday morning instead so dad can be there for it too. i just don't know yet.
ok. can't wait.
So sad that we will be missing all of the pumpkin pancake and stuffed french toast goodness (not to mention all of the good company). Only one addition for Friday--a bday call to Jonny boy. :)
We will be thinking of all of you while we are sitting on the 4th row at the BYU v. Utah game...hopefully we will be glad we are there by the end of the 4th quarter.
that picture of you is in honor of nightswimming...
'they cannot see me naked...'
mmmmm.... stuffed french toast.... WITH grandma's bread?? Are you kidding Stevie??!!!! I can't wait to have you come!
Calling Jonny and AJ on the 22nd is a built-in plan. What a momentous holiday this year!
I'll be thinking of my fam in Oregon with the 4 boys home, and 8 missionaries over for dinner. Good luck filling those stomachs, mom and dad!
I think Paul is a little optimistic about the temperature of our neighborhood pool. The hot tub will be sweetness, though... bring your swimsuits!
While we have adults here with good cameras, perhaps someone could capture all five of us in one frame for a family picture?? It's harder than one would think...
Does anyone else want to see the bee movie?? Any other suggestions?
stephen's french toast is REALLY good. i'm jealous i won't be there
Amy, can I get your email address? We are switching to private and I think we have one for Paul, but is there a seperate one for you?
mom, hannah and lafe made it!
