Projects
I decided that with school out (and the job hunting for Dallas is in full mode), that I would deliver on the "projects" that I promised those of you who responded to the St. Patties game. Since she and Ben just had a baby girl, (and since I'm baby hungry :}) I decided to make them a little girl blanket. In the rules, she has to post it on her blog, but I wanted to show it off. I am very happy with myself. :D It took me almost a full week! WOW! Anyway... THANK YOU MOM You made it possible by telling me how many yards I would need, how to iron flannel, and what to do with rick rack so it doesn't fold up. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I am grateful that I can call you and get help on things like this! I look forward to our next project! :) And a shout out to the lady in Wal*Mart who kindly helped me decide what shade of pink to go with.

Wonderful, Horrible, Crazy, Loving Life...
It's been a crazy long time since I've posted anything of significance...mainly, I just wanted to get done with school and have some time to do so. SO!! Without further ado, here is what the Spencers of Las Vegas have been up to...
INTRODUCING..... SHAUNA! My new sister-in-law. She married Dallas's brother, Taylor, in the Bountiful Temple on May 15, 2009. Hurray! WE LOVE THEM!!! It was SO cool to be with them in the Temple and share their First Day of Forever. I love ALL my family members, and I am so happy to be adding to it through the Gospel. It truly is a great part of who I am. I am so grateful for everything the Gospel brings into my life.
The tulips at the Temple were phenomenal! They were so breath-taking that I couldn't stop taking pictures if them. Particularly this patch of flowers. I promise they ARE real...no photo shop here!
Saturday was fun as well! Enjoying the beauty of the world... (I know, I didn't think Las Vegas had anything NATURE-wise that was beautiful either....) Molly and her Fiance, Chris, took us hiking with them up to "Mary Jane Falls"... It was a small hike of 3 miles...needless to say, I took ALOT more breaks than anyone else... It has rejuvenated my goal of working out more.
The falls were a small trickle. You can see how they made the rocks wet behind us...but beautiful.
This is the saddest part of my journey. Molly B. O'Connell and I will no longer be teaching together. :'( {SOB} She is working at a High School next year (YEY FOR HER!) and I will be... who knows where. She has become one of my best friends. It will be so sad to leave Las Vegas knowing I will be leaving behind a kindred spirit.
