So yesterday was an awesome day! First I got to be a part of the San Diego Interfaith 9/11 Memorial and Concert! It was amazing! There were so many people of so many faiths all gathered together in one purpose, as one, to celebrate our country and how we've come together since September 11th. We sang a beautiful song, "Heal Our Land," by Janice Kapp Perry. My favorite performance was the last one! It was two men of the Baha'i religion, one on guitar, who sang two songs. I don't remember what the first one was, but it had to do with being one and it was a call and answer song so it got the audience participating, and then they sang a song, "I think you're wonderful." It was one of those moments where you just feel like there is hope for our world. At the end everyone sang "Let There Be Peace On Earth" and I could just feel God's love for each one of us, it was an amazing experience!

I'm in there somewhere on stage! haha

Then we went to the hospital with my parents to visit our close friends, the Millers, who just had their first baby boy! He is the handsomest baby boy I've ever seen! And the closest we can get to having a nephew, so maybe I'm a little biased;) Made Michael and I really want one of our own! Yikes! Baby Fever! I got to hold him first and he's just so precious! When it came time for somebody else to hold him, I really didn't want to give him up! haha But I'm hoping to have many opportunities in the future!!! Here's some pictures of Michael holding him (we didn't bring the camera out until I had already reluctantly given him up), and then a picture of me with his mommy who is one of my closest friends!






We are so blessed to have the friends and family that we do!

The Beginning

Ok...so quite honestly, this is my third attempt at making a blog. I am so ashamed.
But I am quite determined this time! So I thought a good way to start out my blog is this photography challenge:


So even though I'm definitely NOT an amazing photographer, I thought it would be fun! 
So for Day 1, I just put the picture up on top of the Blog, that is a self portrait of the hubby and I!

And...a little randomness about myself and the love of my life:
1. I have webbed toes
2. I'm married to my best friend
3. I'm just about the perfect mixture of crazy and normal unless I'm around my best friends...then it tips a bit more to the crazy side
4. We're Mormon
5. I love creating things for other people
6. I have a weakness for sweets, but my husband is a bodybuilder
7. My husband and I are totally addicted to Disneyland
8. We can't wait to have kids
9. I actually eat an oreo just by biting into it, chewing, and swallowing
10. I don't have a favorite color because I can't choose, I love all of them
11. I hate drama, and tend to avoid it
12. I forgive easily
13. I hate the dentist
14. We both love music!
15. I love to sew but have the worst luck with sewing machines
....And I think th-th-th-that's all folks! (for today anyway)
