Check out this cute picture of our Hallie that my niece Kaylie took at the family reunion. She's started a blog to showcase her work. Check it out at http://1simpleblissphotography.blogspot.com/ . If you're in Utah you should give her a call. You can't find what she does for her prices anywhere.

What Makes You Happy?

I love to laugh. I'm not talking about a little chuckle, but a full on tummy jiggle. Most of my favorite moments in life involve laughing until it hurts. I think it's even better when you can share it with someone. Mark and I laugh together every day. I don't think people realize how funny he is. Sometimes he totally catches me off guard with his little comments and has me smiling all day. I love the way his eyes smile and he gets little wrinkles around them. I love how he rocks back and forth and claps his hands when I say something he thinks is funny. I love our little inside jokes. Our newest joke is the Colorado weather. (Sorry to all of our friends and family still there). I have a google page on my laptop that tells me the weather. Just for fun I have set it to Colorado Springs. After turning our air conditioning on today I looked at my computer and saw that it was 25 degrees. Tonight after getting the kids into bed, I sat next to Mark. I leaned in whispering, "it's 25 degrees in Colorado." That is all I had to say and we both laughed until it hurt. Sometimes Mark will put his arms around me and say something like, "it's 35 degrees in Colorado Springs." That's is all it takes to have us both laughing. Needless to say we are loving the warm weather here in Texas. If you'd like to come enjoy the weather and have a good laugh we'll make up a bed for you.
