Londyn's giggle

This will make you smile. You'll need to pause my playlist to hear it better.

News Bulletin! Liberty is walking!


She just started last week. It is so fun to watch her toddle around. I did her hair in piggy tails today and thought "oh my gosh, you look like a little girl and not a baby!!"

Mighty Change Through Christ Preview






















We had dress rehearsal last night. We all got airsprayed to look tan. I took some pics so you'd all be excited to come.

Just read this book


This is a great book. I picked it up at Costco on Stephenie Meyers recommendation. Can't wait for the next one!

I've been tagged- thanks Alisa


Okay, I am supposed to write some things here. Strange things about me? Things people may not know? I'm not quite sure what to do. So here goes:

1. I am a licensed nail tech in the state of PA. I went to beauty school at night after working my full time job. Since John was busy with homework and dental school, I figured I might as well be really busy too. The school was awful and I really didn't learn a whole lot. But at least now I can flash my license at the beauty supply stores and get a discount! Hair products can be expensive!

2. I don't like potatoes. We had baked potatoes all the time growing up. They were always so dry and yucky. I don't buy or make potatoes. When John gets potatoes it is a real treat -poor guy!

3. I graduated with a double major (french & technical sales) with a 3.9 average. Toot toot! (yeah, that's me tooting my own horn.) I love the french language and it came easily to me. I was ultracompetitive in class with all the RM's. I've never lived in France, maybe someday we'll go on a mission or something.

4. I love cats. I always had one growing up. My cat during my school years was Penelope. I loved that calico cat. I was always excited to see her when I visited home on the weekends during college. One time I came home (this is when John and I were engaged) and I couldn't find her. I kept calling her. I finally asked point-blank "mom, where is Penelope???" She then proceeded to tell me that she had gotten sick/old and they put her to sleep that week. I was completely devastated. I remember sitting on the basement steps sobbing uncontrollably. It was so awful because I didn't get to say goodbye! I was so mad at my mom for not telling me beforehand, for not letting me BE there! (My mom is not an animal person. She wasn't trying to hurt me, she thought she was protecting me.) There is a place in my heart for sweet Penelope. I still feel pain at not being there for her when she was put to sleep. Hopefully I will see her again someday.

5. This goes along with post #4 I REALLY WANT A KITTY. I keep pestering John to let us have a cat, but he keeps putting his foot down :( I want a hairless Rex cat, or a really really short haired one.

6. I love any kind of chocolate and mint combination. Junior Mints are my fav! I was sad that the kids didn't bring any home on Halloween.

7. I am still close to my childhood friends. Jenny and I have been friends since she was 6 months old and I was just born. The other three have been with me since elementary school. Oh boy do we have some funny old pictures! We still try to get together once a month.

8. I read the newspaper every morning. I feel incomplete if I don't. I never miss the tv reviews that Scott Pierce writes. I usually eat a bowl of cereal while reading it. FYI-my fav cereal is Rice Chex with sliced bananas on top.

Funny 6 year old conversation

Last week LoLo and his friend Joseph were discussing the election. I was driving them back from school where they just had a mock election.
Me: Who did you vote for?
L: John McCain
J: Me too, Obama has bad ideas.
L: Yeah, Barack Obama has bad ideas.
J: I wonder where he gets his bad ideas from?
L: Hmmm maybe a robber or the devil?

Ha ha!! I guess they've been listening to their parents!
