Or, Den fjerde fødselsdag. I suppose that’s more appropriate but I have a little French on the brain.
Either way, we celebrated Sara Ellen’s fourth birthday yesterday. It was an amazing party. Sara Ellen woke up to a decorate house. Emily made pancakes. Tim …
On my birthday, I updated my facebook status at every change in the day. As this event was celebrating two people I didn’t want to share all my thoughts as they happened and look into potential comments. So, I made note of them as each came to mind. …
It’s pretty incredible reaching the five year milestone in our marriage. Actually, it’s just amazing. And it’s exciting to consider all the challenges we have faced, places we have been, and the immense blessings we have been given. One of those is sharing our love between our …

I love movies. I love good action movies, chick flicks, historically-based, superheros, animated movies (Pixar is the best). Obviously they have to be well thought out, have an engaging story, not be action for actions sake, or very gory. I have standards, yes I do. There …
Last Saturday a friend loaned me her copies of books 1 – 3 in a growing series by Stephenie Meyer. They are Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. The fourth, Breaking Dawn has recently been released and I expect to read it soon.
It’s a gripping story of a girl (Bella) who moves from the big city to a small town and falls for a vampire (Edward). Luckily he practices a “vegetarian” lifestyle and only drinks the blood of animals, how else would he manage to pretend to be a high school student. He needs reminding of that fact when he gets a breeze of her scent. I started reading Sunday or Monday and finished 3 long books in 4 days! To finish books two and three I was up until 5 am! I could not put them down. I started 2 immediately after finishing 1 at 6pmish Tuesday and read through till the end. Tim is away in Norway this week and next and my parents and sister are away this week. My brother is home but I don’t see him much and I get pretty tired of doing the same stuff with Sara Ellen but don’t know what else to do. It’s so lonely without Tim working from home. The readings have been the most exciting thing going on for me this week and I definitley developed a crush on Edward, especially after seeing photos from the upcoming movie. The story is very seductive and addictive.
