Our Prophet, We will Miss.

Hinckley_vl

Gordon B. Hinckley is a Prophet of God that I will always remember! He has truly been an example and inspiration in my life, and million's of others. I will miss hearing him speak, and his presence in the Church, But I also look forward to the days that are to come. This truly is Christ's Church.

So, I've been tagged

 There are 2 reasons why I am doing this post: 1 is that it is SNOWING outside, and I don't want to do go outside. The 2nd reason is that this tag is all about MY HUSBAND......

What is his name.. Daniel Jonathan Bischoff (Funny story... My BROTHER'S name is Daniel John)

How long have we been together... 3 1/2  Awesome Years

how long did you date... Well... not very long.

how old is he... 24

Who eats more... I would have to say Dan, BUT there are times when I can pass him up.

Who said I love you first... He did, no question.

Who is taller... Dan.

Who is smarter... I think we balance each other out, but Dan has some good logic, that doesn't come quite as quickly for me. :o)

Who does laundry... Well, I would have to say 50/50. It is "unofficially" my job, but I HATE laundry, and try to avoid it, then Dan needs clothes for work and finally does it.

Who pays bills... We both take care of our finances.

Who sleeps on the right... Dan does, because it is next to our balcony doors, and I am closest to the bathroom. :o)

Who mows the lawn.... Our homeowner's association.

Who cooks dinner... I do mostly, but Dan does sometimes.

Who drives... Well, first off, I don't like to drive, and when I do, Dan always tells me that I am going too slow, or too fast, SO... He gets to drive (isn't it a "boy" job, anyway?).

Who is the most stubborn... I would have said neither, but then Easton was born, so I have to admit that I am SO stubborn in having things MY way ALL THE TIME, as far as that cute little boy goes, at least. Dan is so good to let me have my way, too.

Who kissed who first... Dan kissed me, but for a long time before hand, I was wondering "is he EVER going to kiss me?!".

Who asked who out first... Blind date, but he asked if he could call me again afterwards.

Who proposed... Dan did on Temple Square in December of 2004 (with all those pretty lights), It was so romantic!

Who has more friends... We share our friends, but I think Dan is a bit more social than I am .

Who is most sensitive... We are both sensitive, I think.

Who has more siblings... I do, (youngest of 10) Dan is the 2nd youngest of 6.

Who wears the pants... Hopefully, neither.

I feel so lucky to have found someone that still to this day makes me want to become my best! He is truly an amazing person that has completely changed my life... I know... I like to brag about him... Sorry Dan.

Us... in the "Early Days".

This is a picture of Dan and I when we were engaged, that my sister emailed to me. I thought that it was so fun that I had to quickly post it. Neither Dan or I had a camera until we bought one on our honeymoon, so when I see pictures that family or friends took of us, it is fun to go back and remember our dating days.

Easton with his cousin Nick!

Easton has a cousin that is only 6 weeks older than him, and it is so fun to get them together to play. They both are getting to be at such a fun age where they are realizing that they are both there, and they interact with each other much more than before.


What an awesome year... 2007!

So, I stole this idea from someone else to post a few events that made 2007 such a great year... Here I go...
I cut my hair shorter than I have had it in a long time! It's mostly grown out now, I am not very good at keeping up with a style.
Before... After...


We went to Disneyland! Easton even went on a few rides, as well. This is easton on "It's a small world, he loved it!"


Easton learned to...Roll over
and Crawl!

He had his FIRST...Taste of Food
and Haircut



Dan had a pretty busy year...

In July, Dan got promoted at his work, and he is no longer a Technician, but now has an OFFICE JOB! I like it better, because he isn't driving all over Utah/Idaho everyday... just Draper. (He probably isn't going to like that I posted this picture of him, but it was the only one I could find of him in his work shirt...but it does show his tiredness that also came with his new position :0)
He also Started... then Stopped his own furniture building company, DB Design. It was fun while it lasted, but he realized that he needed a little more practice. But I have a feeling that furniture building will be a big part of his life (I really mean OUR life) for a LONG TIME!

Here is one of many projects that he did during that time, an entertainment center that he built from knotty alder for a neighbor that had moved.

He also had an oil painting of his on exhibit at the Springville Museum of Art from October-December. (see previous postings)

We really had an awesome year, and am so greatful to have such good memories.

EaStOn Is WaLkInG!

The big day has come, and our little guy has finally started walking! He is a little unsure of himself still, but this has definately come on pretty quickly. It is almost as if he decided the other day that he would just give this walking thing a try, and he is quite proud of himself.

My New Year's Resolution



So... anyone that knows me, knows that I would rather spend my time doing anything other than cleaning. Unfortunately, I don't enjoy spending my days in a messy house. See the problem? So, with the new year comes a resolve to keep my home clean, with as little effort from me as possible. How you ask? I decided that our biggest problem in our cleaning habits (or lack of) is that our home isn't organized enough. Not every single item in our possesion has it's own perfect little spot, and we don't throw enough stuff away. Our version of cleaning, is anything that we don't know what to do with either goes into our spare room upstairs or our basement. When we clean the spare room upstairs, it then gets transfered to our basement (and in no orderly fashion, either). Yesterday I started my resolve to ORGANIZE! The best place to start? Our basement! Today, Dan and I have a big date with walmart, and these...

Wish me luck... by the time I am finished, I am hoping to have developed some degree of obsessive-compulsiveness with this.
