I know I have been neglecting our blog and I am sorry. As you can
imagine, a lot has happened in the last week and a half. Currently, we
are sitting in a doctor's office waiting room so they can have a look
at Courtney's eye. It's been red on the outside for a couple days.
Issac is keeping himself busy by making ghost masks out of tissue. He
has a runny nose and cough. Keep our family in prayer - as you can
see, we're a little sick.

In case you didn't know, I was in Chicago from Thursday to Saturday
for the True Women '08 conference. I learned so much from the
teachings and breakout sessions about mothering and my relationship
with God! It was a great time but I missed my family very much. They
drove to the airport to pick me up and we enjoyed dinner at Ghengis
Grill, where I had a non-puny bowl (see a few blogs down). I was so
happy to come home and see all of their cute little faces! They make
me so happy! God has really blessed me with an awesome family and I
look forward to caring for them to glorify Him!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this area is from Home Alone. I
remember when the song "Run Run Rudolph" is playing and the McCalister
family is running through the airport to catch their flight and I
think this was the hallway. Any thoughts??

If you've heard the hype about Chicago deep dish pizza being amazing,
you've heard correctly! I would have to say this was some of THE BEST
pizza I've had! Luckily, I have some extra for a snack after the
sessions tonight. I wonder if they'll let me take some home on the
plane? Maybe if I want to be pulled aside and go to the security side
table (see blog below).

While going through airport security this morning, my friend Audra was
pulled aside. They had to go through her bag at a side table. She
was concealing a Swiss army pocket knife (unintentionally).

Who doesn't? There's something very satisfying about walking into a
room with a made bed. If I don't make my bed, I feel very sluggish
and unmotivated. A made bed makes me happy and motivated to do other
little chores around the house. I recommend, if you don't already, to
make your bed everyday. You will enjoy it!

Last night we went to Ghengis Grill in Albuquerque with The Millers. That resturant is amazing!! They give you a little metal bowl and you get to fill it with whatever meat, spice, veggies, and sause that you want, PLUS you get your choice of starch (rice, noodles, tortilla, etc.). You can pile as much as you want as long as it stays in the bowl! You give your little creation to the magic people in the back to be cooked and then it arrives on your table in a beautiful arrangement of delicious amazingness. In the picture, my bowl is on the right, while Jenn's is on the left. In her words, my bowl was "puny." Oh well, I enjoyed my bowl of yummy goodness.
Today was an early morning. We woke up at 3:45 a.m. to go to the
Balloon Fiesta with the Bransford family! We don't normally go but it
was awesome! The kids loved watching the balloons fly right over
their heads. The highlight of the morning was walking over to the
Nemo balloon and realizing the Darth Vader balloon was right behind
us! There was a circle of Storm Troppers surrounding the balloon for
crowd control. Just before the balloon launched, Darth Vader himself
came out! It was so cool! We had such a fun time! I look forward to
doing this in the future!

On Monday I purchased an iPhone. Since then I've become a member of
Facebook. I have so much technology at my fingertips, it's crazy.
The good news is that the readers of this blog will no longer have to
suffer the site of terrible cell phone pictures anymore. The iPhone
takes great pictures and it is very easy to blog them. So, if this
blog isn't enough for you, become my friend on Facebook and you can
get even more!
