A Change is Gonna' Come....

So, who would have thought? The-man-of-my-dreams and I are going on a mission. Don't know where, (someplace in the world, English-speaking) but we do know when. We go into the MTC for the mission president's seminar on June 23. We will find out our assignment in February. I have a feeling it will be a long 3 months......

I can't get enough of these guys!

Jellystone Park

We just returned from our annual Yellowstone pilgrimage.

For the first time we went to the north entrance to see this fabulous arch.

I love the inscription.

We had a great time revisiting the familiar....

...and trying something new.

We searched for our favorites...

...and saw the unusual.

We looked at things with a new perspective...

...and marveled at the beauty around us.

We sat on trees...

...and knocked them over.

"For the benefit and enjoyment of the people"

couldn't be truer words.

plans? what plans?

I had my life all planned out.


The day after our beloved Peter married his angel, Robyn, I was headed for the cabin.  Then a beach. Yep, it was going to be perfect.  No one left at home, Zachary has 10 months left in California, just us and the dog.


Oh, the books I was going to read.  Travel?  Of course.  Maybe even learn a language and finally figure out Aperture so I could have stunning photos.  Imagine the things I could blog about!


Then life happened.


Now, we have Meridian.  An adorable 15 year old girl (gasp!) who is adding dimensions to our lives.


Lesson learned?
don't make plans.

Chim, chim-in-ey......

We arrived in London and travelled by motorcoach (aka...a bus) to our morning appointment in Parliament.  As we drove through London I snapped a few photos from the bus..uh..motorcoach.  Not the best photos but you get the idea.

Oh, Bert, where are you?

Charming..

I want the back of my house to look like this!

There were lots of children on their way to school...

How cute is that pink raincoat?

We toured though Parliament and then were treated to attend the 

Q&A with the Prime Minister...not easy to get tickets to...thanks Clark and Chris!  The Q&A was just like a scene from a movie, people standing and shouting and mocking and laughing...great theatre!

More later.....

Bon Jour

For our 30th anniversary(yes-that is no typo-30)the-man-of-my-dreams took me on a wonderful trip. I really debated whether I wanted to schlep around my new camera and heavy lens but in the end the heavy lens won. I am so happy it did. Now, if I can just make my computer work to post some photos......

I have laughed all morning!

Provo, UT Girls - BYU Divine Comedy

I know that I haven't blogged in, like, forever, but I found this today and it really made me laugh.

Maybe it is enough to get me out of my rut and blogging again.

Enjoy!

(and may I just say, I, too, was a Provo Utah girl and no, I am not offended...)
