This is Fun?

Mr. Jewels signed up for the first annual Utah Crossfit Games which was held Saturday, January 9th at the Olympic Oval. We spent all day watching men and women suffering through grueling workouts. Mr. Jewels is in all red. Doesn't he look excited to compete?!

5. Knitting
6. Setting and Reaching Financial Goals
7. Stocking Up
8. Clipping Coupons
9. Shorter Hair (well, not really for the first time, but the first time in a long while)

10 and 2 and 11.25.09

December brings a celebration of birthdays of our two sons born eight years and a day apart from each other. This year also brought with it a little financial joy as well. We sent off our LAST school loan payment on November 25th! We have only now to pay off our home. It is such a weird feeling to have that debt gone, I can't describe it. I wonder if I look different? Merry Merry Christmas!

I Miss

I miss Primary. I love Primary. I went to Relief Society for the first time in almost ten years and something just didn't seem right as we were waiting for everyone to arrive and get started. It was the music. She wasn't playing Primary Songs. Those songs have started my Sunday morning for a long time. I will miss those sweet tunes. In Primary, the gospel is simple and the spirit is sweet. I now will need to gain a love for the other things the gospel of Jesus Christ has to offer, but Primary will always be on the top of my list for the things I love.
