Glamor Shots

So here is our baby in all it's glory! We went to the Dr. today and got our "Glamor Shots."

Our due date is January 12, 2010!

Stone Thrower

Tomorrow is my Sunday to teach the YW. You would think that since it is Father's Day I would be teaching about the priesthood or something...nope...that was a couple of weeks ago. No, my lesson in on Forgiveness. I have been working on this lesson for a while and have been praying....really praying for an opportunity to use this. Of course in my tiny brain I thought that someone would wrong me and I'd take the high road and...well you get the idea.

WRONG! Sometimes I should just eat my words, literally, swallow them whole and then yank my foot out of my mouth.

Asking for forgiveness is hard. Not knowing whether you are forgiven, even harder. But forgiving yourself for hurting someone you care about is the hardest. I know that to be forgiven doesn't come instantly, it takes time for the wronged person to want to forgive, I get that. But how can I forgive myself for my stupidity? For being rude? For hurting them?

Sometimes I wish I could be like Bill and Ted and be able to turn back the clock and do things over again, but I guess we all know that this isn't possible. I suppose that why we have the atonement, so that we can have those mistakes erased and least in God's eyes.

Well this post is turning into a rambling fest so I'll end here. I hope that when I teach this lesson tomorrow I can help them understand the importance of not being a stone thrower. Whether they are throwing stones at someone else or at themselves.P.S. This is my hand out, to be given with Jaw Breakers.

Wish me luck.

The Cat's Out...

...of the bag.

We are getting another one of these in January. We are really excited and can't wait!

MIA

So if you feel as I feel that I have been missing in action. You're right! My iMac went Kaput a couple of weeks ago and spent a couple of weeks with the apple people getting all new inerds. I seriously have a completely new computer except for the outside caseing. I got a new internal Hard Drive put in, and new logic board, and new LCD screen, new power source. Pretty much it's awesome except I had to re-install all of my software back on and I lost all my music and a couple of other things. Luckily I keep all of my photos on an external hard drive and I have past years burned onto DVD's.

Then I was gone up to a family reunion where we had a lot of fun with cousins.

Then I was back but still had no computer = no new blog posts.

But I have my computer back and I can't wait to get back to some real work/ real blogging!

P.S. Darby is giving my blog a much needed makeover. So come back and check it out and let mek now what you think.

On July 29th.....

....we will be saying goodbye to Erik's Indian (a.k.a little brother).

We are so excited for Scottie and so proud of him for being worthy of serving a mission. It will be a crazy couple of days for the Guthrie's. Brad is scheduled to leave from his mission in New Zealand on July 28th and so there is a possibility we will be having a crazy-fun party at the airport, welcoming home one missionary while bidding farewell to another! A bitter-sweet moment if ever there was one.

Oh Scottie how you make us laugh.

Eyebrows

I found out today that I am very attached to my eyebrows! They are very important and I think I would look silly if I didn't have any. What brought on this sudden awareness? Well the story goes something like this...

I have a new love! Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad. I have chicken in my fridge and lettuce in my garden...combine the two and bam you have a great kinda healthy meal. So for lunch today I decided to make this fantastic meal. Items needed: Chicken (check), Lettuce (check), BBQ grill (check). So I go out back to turn on the grill, I flip the dials, turn the gas thingy, and push the self-light button....nothin'. What! I just did this last night and it worked perfectly. So I bend over to look through the "peep" hole a the front of the grill to see if it is lit or not....it's not so (while still looking) I push the button and WHAMO! A flaming hot fire rushed out of said "peep" hole and...well let;s just say...I still have eyebrows and hair, Whew. My eyelashes are singed, and there orginal shortness is not shortened by half again. My whispie hairs are all singed and for a long while (until I showered) I smelt like bad campfire, I apologize to all who were unfortunate enough to smell me.

I now have a greater appreciation for eyebrows though....man am I glad that I still have them!
