Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow


It was fun to hang out for a little bit on Tuesday with Sarah and Mer. We missed you Katie! It's always sad to say goodbye, but it's so great to know that it's not forever. Who knows when or where, but I know we'll be together again sooner than later! I hope you can all visit us while we're in Minneapolis, or maybe we'll meet up somewhere else. I love you girls so much! Provo has so many memories which will always be fun to remember. Stay in touch and keep blogging! This is the first new post in forever!

Harry Potter

So, I am a newly-found Harry Potter addict. I read book #1 a few years ago, but last week at the library I picked up book #4. Corwin wanted to see the movie, but I had heard it was dark, so I never wanted to see it. I figured that reading it first would prepare me to see the movie. 740 pages later, I am ready to see the movie. I must say, though, that this book freaked me out. Is this really a kids' book?! I could barely sleep last night because Lord Voldemort had come back to life and was out to get Harry (and me, mind you). I think JK Rowling is brilliant, and I already have book #5 checked out so I can devour it this week.

A 'Baby' Baby Grand Piano!


How cool is this? I could buy a baby grand piano for Lucas! It's only $150 from babystyle.com. Not bad compared to probably $40-50,000 for the Steinway baby grand I want!! But I don't know how I feel about Lucas getting a grand piano before me... How cute though that it comes in black or white! He would be just like Linus. Now if I could just find $150 laying around, wouldn't that be nice?!

So did Katie or Sarah hear about the supercell that hit Provo on Tuesday? I of course heard the thunder and rain and Lucas got soaking wet playing in a puddle out front, but I had no idea how hard it hit until my mom called later that night and told me to turn on the news. It looked like a hurricane had come through. The winds at the Provo airport were 90 mph! The benefit of all the rain though was it was absolutely gorgeous yesterday. It cooled the temperatures down to the upper 80s, it was sunny and blue skies and the air was so clear. During our heat wave before the thunderstorm, the air was so dirty and gross. I love that change in the air quality after it rains.

I'm excited to see Sarah next week- Katie I wish you were closer! And Meredith, hopefully we can tear you away from your Arabic for at least an afternoon to do something fun with Sarah! :D Love you girls!
