What snow does to Portland...

As I'm getting ready for church this morning, we get a call that it has been cancelled due to the weather. Weather! Seriously! There's maybe an inch of snow on the ground! Well, obviously Portlanders are afraid of the white stuff, very afraid. The whole city shuts down... ridiculous! You're talking to a woman who lived up at Sundance, a ski resort! Oh well. It's a good excuse to hunker down, get a fire going, a nice warm breakfast, read my LDSLiving magazine, listen to some Christmas music. Wait a minute, what's this, Keith organizing the kitchen junk drawer! My mind goes into "come up with something for Keith to do" mode, or he's going to drive me crazy organizing the whole house. Maybe a few organizing projects aren't so bad... hmmm...

It's been a good day. Truthfully, we hardly ever get to be home together for a full day. I love my guys! They are everything to me!

Yikes! I'm 40

At least my hair doesn't look it! Thanks to my hair colorist... It was a great birthday. I hadn't had a party for my birthday since I moved here, until this one. Usually, it's just been Keith, Gavin, occasionally Mom and friends here and there. Not that that's not enough, Mom! But I felt this one was cause to celebrate. My dearest friend, Bonnie came to town and cooked up a storm. Yes, Bonnie can cook! She made appetizers that the locals here had never seen before. And yes, they liked them! They liked them enough that now I've been asked to recreate them for our Relief Society Christmas Evening... How do I get myself into this. If only Bonnie could come back!

Anyhow, it was great and I felt loved. Now, if I can just get the rest of my body to look as good as my hair...

Hello world.... here we come!

It's about time! This is my first post... give me a minute, will ya! Genius blogging takes time!
