Happenings

Well there sure isnt a lot of time for blogging leisurely when in one month we will have attended 3 different funerals. Its an emotional toll not just for the familes but for getting work at the last minute twice and then coming back to tidy what we left behind. I had a dear friend of mine pass about a month ago just after having newborn twins, she graduated with me in my nursing class and her in-laws were in our ward. A few weeks later my great grandmother passed for which we were expecting it would be soon, but then we found out my dear cousin who was just a young man also passed.

While this has been an emotional toll, I am more grateful than ever for the gospel in my life. I know that all three of these people were suffering greatly, and it is so comforting to know that they are in the loving and healing arms of our Heavenly Father. For this knowledge, we havent been clouded in sorrow, but have been surrounded by hope and healing. I am grateful to know why we are here, and I find great comfort in the plan of salvation and the healing power of Christ. I know He reaches out to us when we reach out to Him.

Busted!!! and- The infamous burnt couch!

So I took someone's advice and started rummaging through our stuff and throwing out all our junk. As I plowed through piles of yearbooks, mission letters and old pez dispensers, I came across a CD labeled Swan Falls.

Swan Falls is a favorite get-away of Blakes, and lo and behold the cd had several pictures of an outing with Brian, Clarisa, and ... the EX!!!! So to give Blake a hard time I told him he was busted for holding on to his Ex-girlfriend memoir! Ex, Blake squished, Brian and Clarisa Borup
And I'll have Clarisa introduce the infamous burnt couch! We do this thing where we bring a couch when we camp or watch a movie outside. Its called Couching. Now, with camping usually comes a camp fire, and with Blake usually comes an accident. Hence the now charred couch. At least it was saved to live another day, all hail the couch!

Change is Great!!!

This was one of those pictures where the realization comes---- Wowzers do I need a hair cut!!! To my mothers dismay I no longer have the will power or tolerance to grow my hair down to my lower back... I did that senior year but then I cut it WAY short and donated to Locks of LOve and I am telling you I dont know if I can go back!

I love short hair now! Besides I tend to have the kind of hair that clogs the drain every time I shower and if I wear a ponytail I end up with a headache at the end of the day because of all the hair... Any who the before picture below, only half as I long as I once had it but too long for me!

After (: Kudos to Clarisa for another awesome cut!
