I was tagged over a month ago by my sister-in-law Kristen. So, I'm finally getting around to this!
7 Things I can do
I can make bread (not every loaf is perfect, but I'm getting better)! I can play two musical instruments (violin and piano). I can also write music! I can stay home with my little boy every day! What a priviledge! I can play a good mean game of basketball--my shooting isn't soooo acurate anymore. I can and know how to build landscaping walls out of stone! I can honestly say that I have no regrets with the big choices I've made in my life (ie. college major, mission, career, marriage, and children).

7 things I can't do
I can't stay up late, anymore. (Especially after having children...) I can't sing very well (I can sing in tune but my voice is very weak--I guess I need to be trained:) I can't wait for Larry to get home from work every day! I can't stop feeling very blessed and lucky to be married to one of the greatest guys in all of the earth! I can't keep up with keeping the house clean and organized (I've decided to follow Pres. Monson's counsel and enjoy this season of motherhood in my life)! I can't wait until it gets warmer (January-March is my most difficult time of year! Why did I get married in February?! I'd never dreamed of it--but when I met the right guy...I didn't care what the weather was like anymore!) I can't remember when I was happier in my life than the way I feel right now!

7 things that attracted me to my hubby
His voice--Larry has an amazing talking and singing voice! His eyes--Larry's eyes are always on fire...they are a perfect Carribbean blue! His personality--Larry and I clicked from the first time we ever met...we couldn't stop talking with each other...hours pass and we don't even notice! And he gets along with everyone...he understands people! His testimony--He has the gift of faith and always always follows the spirit! His work ethic--Larry is not afraid to go out there and work--even hard core physical labor! His decorating/gardening sense-- Larry makes everything beautiful that he gets his hands on! He's an incredible decorator! Our yard and house look great because of his efforts (more than mine). And lastly (I could go on forever), his humility! Larry is the most humble person I know--he's never yelled at or lost his temper with me. I can't say that I've never lost mine w/ him:(

7 things I say most often
I love you ____ (Larry or James)! Okay. Let me see.... James, come here!!!! O my gosh! Wow! Oh, well.

I tag Nichole and Lisa (my other sisters-in-law) on Larry's side!

Welcome to our Blog!

Larry, James, and I are officially in the Blog-o-sphere! Thanks to my brother Joseph...and my finally getting a few hours to figure this whole thing out! My biggest frustration is manipulating the pictures in such a rigid interface as HTML; however, I am VERY GRATEFUL that I don't have to actually know all that computer language! Stay tuned for our upcoming Christmas "Letter" post!
