The man in my life...
HUBBY TAG...
What is your husband’s name? Warren
How long did you date? We knew each other a year, then we were "boyfriend/girlfriend" for 6 months, then we were engaged for 7 months.
How old is he? 35
Who eats sweets? We both do but different kinds.
Who said I love you first? Him but I waited a LONG time for him to say it. I was ready to say it but wanted him to say it first. For him saying I love you was saying "Will you marry me?" because he had never said it to anyone before.
Who is taller? Warren
Who can sing better? Warren
Who is smarter? I'd say we're both smarter in different areas.
Who does the laundry? Me but he will go get it for me from outside when I ask him to.
Who pays the bills? That has varied, but for a while now it has been Warren.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me
Who mows the lawn? We haven't had a lawn yet, but hopefully we will in two weeks. And Warren has said he's actually excited to mow!
Who cooks dinner? Me, almost always. Unless I'm going to RS for the night and leave him with the kids.
Who drives? When we're in the car together he drives.
Who is the first to admit they are wrong? Warren is definitely better at that than I am.
Who kissed who first? Warren kissed me on the hand like a true gentleman when we very first started dating.
Who asked who out first? Warren asked me out during the busiest week of my whole semester. I laughed.
Who wears the pants? We're good at balancing life together.
Friends who should do this: I tag Charity, K Kid, Stephanie (unless you're sick of tags!), Natalie K, Lindy, Katie H, Becky D, Lauren J, Rozanne (ha got you back), Erin and Cindy. If you don't want to post it on your blog just send me an email. Or if you don't want to do it all, just send me a note to say hi!!!! :)
A mixed-up Thanksgiving Story
Rebecca (looking at a book about Noah's ark):
"It rained and rained and then the Mayflower finally came to shore and Moses said: let there be a rainbow in the land of Mosiah."
Hey, 4 in one. I don't think I could do any better than that!

Obama: President or Prophet?
Today I told Rebecca tonight was Family Night. She said: "My favorite days are Monday and Thursday. Monday because of Family Night and Thursday because it is my share day at school."
So at least family night is still in the good book in our house.
Then tonight came the much anticipated family night lesson. Warren was teaching.
W: "We have a new prophet!"
R: "I know, Prophet Obama!"
(An explanation of President of the United States versus Prophet and President of our church followed.)
Warren's lesson continues. He is in the middle of talking about faith and other important things. Rebecca raises her hand.
R: "I have a question."
W: "What's your question?"
R: "The boys are going to be boy pilgrims and the girls are going to be girl Indians and my teacher said that Pocahontas was a boy but turned out to be a girl after all."
Joseph climbs on top of a dining room table chair that happens to be in the front room, raises his arms up and shouts: "Ta da!!!"
Warren and I burst out laughing. Prophet Obama, pilgrims and Indians, tada-ing children... What more could you want out of Family Home Evening!

Beach, birds and music in the home
November at the beach.
The hot weather that is providing the perfect opportunity for fires to rage also provided us with one more swimsuit beach day last Friday.
Rebecca and her friends actually played in the water and had a great time. Joseph chased the birds and I got soaked trying to take pictures of the kids.

Pure joy
Joseph (look closely) and the parting of the birds
Keep parting, I'm coming through...
I did it!
One of my friends and some of our kids.
It gets dark so early now! In the summer we were used to staying this late and it was such a different feeling. But seeing the sunset has its own charm.
We were driving in the car on our way home from the beach in the traffic, in the dark, listening to classical music. Rebecca said: "I like music. I'm glad we have music. Without music, home just wouldn't feel like home."
Amen to that.
