Yellow Brick Road

For my profession I sew. After moving down here I got a job at a quilt store. Quilting is a different kind of sewing than regular sewing. I just finished my 1st quilt. I love it and want to make more. It was a fairly easy quilt, which I wanted for my 1st one (its name is Yellow Brick Road). I made a babyish size. So I picked out 6 fat quarters and set to work. I'm excited to start #2 soon.

Catch-Up

I didn't die at girls camp. I know you were all worried.

But now I have a ton to catch-up on.

August 2009
-Blasted Hot Girls Camp, almost killed by a Javelina (sp?) in the form of leaders/girls in other ward attacking camp with recording of lion roar.
-Anthony took me to Wicked in Austin for my/his birthday. It was great and so fun to see with him!
-Went early to Utah to see family and friends. I tried to get pictures of everyone I saw but it didn't happen. I loved seeing friends from the ward, millcreek, old roommates, etc :)

September 2009
-Sisters Weekend: 8 of the 12 Weston Women up in Park City, shopping and Swiss Days. It was a blast and I can't wait for next year.
-My 31st Birthday. It was wonderful. Everyone should be 31 at least once.
-Anth got called as 2nd counselor in the bishopric.
-Anth had a trip to Utah for work, recruiting. He even got to go to a U of U football game.

October 2009
-Our first watching of General Conference on a computer. Including pictures of Prophet and Apostles on mantle with prior FHE reports (it was something we did growing up and I still love learning about those great men).
-Our first visitors. Anthony's parents came to visit so his Dad could ordain him a High Priest. Of course there was a cold front so they wondered why we complain about the heat.
-Next monday I'm flying to Arkansas to watch the Bills kids and then Anth will be driving up so we can be there for Halloween.

Below are some pictures of the above mentioned happenings. I'll try to put them in order but it never works.


Only picture at Wicked (really bad)
