Random Update

Since this semester kept me busy with school, work, and my calling, the blog was a wee bit neglected. So in no particular order here are some crazy random photos/events!

My dear sweet handy hubby built me this beauty to allow more room for food storage in our tiny/modest pantry. It is designed to roll out so the new cans get placed in the back and the old ones roll to the front! Yes it is a knock off from shelf reliance but hey it only cost $35 to make!

In October my dad flew me out to Phoenix (it pays to be a daddy's girl) so that I could enjoy Time Out For Women (a gift from my mom). My stepmom Stacey joined us along with 2 of my grandmas (G-ma & Grandma Harmon), my step sister Ashley, my aunt Sherlene, and Linda my adopted grandma (Edie's friend)! After a spiritual retreat with the girls, my brother came with his two boys so I could finally meet my nephew Stephen! I don't have any pictures from this weekend but this one was provided by my G-ma!

I don't consider myself a total klutz, but seeing as it is that I had a severe sprain from just walking to the copier at work back in '07 (which I still have problems from to this day) would it surprise anyone to know that I busted my elbow riding my bike at school?! In my defense I was late for a study session with my professor and of course it was the day I had all but one of my books and my laptop weighing my backpack down. I went to get on my bike and put all my weight onto one peddle and the chain came off causing me to fall and land all my weight on my right elbow. This picture was taken 2 weeks after the incident. I was ordered to wear a sling for 2 weeks to protect my shoulder (which also landed funny) and to take it easy. HAHA! Easier said than done!

The last picture is just too funny not to include. Our sweet Miss Shelby is really good....I promise. This particular day I was crazy busy with Enrichment stuff and I was gone most of the day. Phillip had a lot going on with his non-profit counseling and had just used this borrowed tape recorder to do his final exit interview for a class. He spent hours upon hours transcribing it into 24 pages. He was to turn the papers and recording in to his teacher the next morning. That is until I came home to this. Yes the dog ate his homework and yes he collected the pieces and handed it to the professor in a ziploc baggie!
