It was fun to read what you were doing 10 years ago. I don't know if I could remember everything that I was doing. Kudos to you! Imogen is teething still. I can see a tooth coming on top but it will probably be a month or so before it cuts through. She gets fussy though and always has to chew on something and she doesn't nurse as well if it is bothering her. The bad thing about it is when the tooth finally comes in another will be on its way. Kari Lynn and I helped my mom get a blog up. She is embarrassed about it though because she wants it cute like yours first. I have not been able to figure out the whole blog wall paper yet. every time I try to add wall paper I go to the edit HTML and it wants to delete everything I have on my blog. I want to give my mom's blog some cute paper. Do you know how it is done??

Now I feel like I've known you for years! These are so fun. We love BurgerMaster!!

Jaime said...

We too lover burgermaster. It was great reading all of this, I especially can't believe you were robbed as a bank teller. Is that why you switched jobs? that's all it would take for me. :)

this was fun to read.
is there a reason why you're brushing up on your french?
hopefully a trip is in your future...

About the french: I don't want to lose what I know. A few years ago our Bishop encouraged all those who knew a foreign language to try to keep up on it. He said he gets the Liahona in Spanish to read and sometimes listens to conference in Spanish -- which you can listen to on lds.org at any time. So on Sundays, I do that and listen to my taped "French In Action" tapes. And yes, I'd love to go to Europe (including of course France) in the future. We have talked about it. But, no set time, yet!

Hey there Jenny! I just created a blog yesterday and found yours. I am totally impressed! It made me cry reading all of your stuff. Especially when I was reading about mom and dad and looking at your pics of them. I am going to e-mail Becca about sending me the instruction for cut wallpaper. My is dumb.
