A Sad Day

In my attempts to not catch whatever it is that Ashley has caught, I've been eating a lot of oranges that Jacob brought from Arizona. I was halfway through peeling my first orange and my peeler snapped on me. I sat there for a few minutes looking at my broken friend and then at the half peeled orange not knowing what to do. I finally picked up the orange and peeled the rest by hand. I guess you really don't need one of those things to peel an orange. Maybe that's why everyone looked at me weird when they first saw me using it.



Mom, can you send me another orange peeler?

Should I stay true?

I mean stay true to my hair color all you silly people. I will always be true to my sexy Eric!!! I love him! I am considering to change my hair from the true brunette that I am to a new blonde. I have been blonde before, so this is not new for me. I just want to maybe have a change when my life changes in May. Just something to think about. But I need your help. I like the opinions of others. So take the poll and let me know. Love ya all.

Happy Birthday Jen !!

We just want you to know, Jen, how much we love you! What a great blessing you were/are to the Beckstrand family. You are such a sweetheart and Derek and Houston are really lucky to have you. A little background on Jen- she is a school teacher (2nd grade) and loves it. She is always smiling and always willing to help others. She has been busy with her baby boy. She is a true Denver Broncos fan as well as everything else that deals with Colorado. She loves to hunt, fish, be outdoors, and have fun with her family. Jen, we love you and hope you have a Happy Birthday!

Coming to a Close

Yes, it is true. I am closing in on my last month and a half of school. I will then be done with my education (at least for a while). I am now awaiting to take my Boards which will be March 25, April 11 & 12, and then I have to take a Computer simulated test also. I am stressing out, but I know I can do it. I just had a fun story to share. Yesterday for school, my group went out into the community and gave screenings and a presentation about Oral Health Care to a Senior Center. I loved it. As we were about to pack up and go, a tiny 90 yr. old lady grabbed me and the rest of my group to join them in line dancing! I loved it. It was so much fun. They were not easy to keep up with either! They are just so full of life. It was a really rewarding. Any way, here is a picture of me doing a screening. Hope you get a feel for what I do everyday.

Happy Birthday Kennedy !!

This is our cute niece Kennedy. She turned one today! Kennedy is such a fun girl. She loves being around her family and especially her big brother. She is a drooler, but we love her. She always is smiling and she is just growing up so fast. Eric and I just want her to know that we love her and miss her and hope she has a great first birthday.

Twilight

If you have not read or even heard about these books, I highly suggest you do! I have never been a lover of reading books and I still am not. Maybe because my time does not allow me to do so. One day my sister (who loves reading) told me about a book entitled "Twilight". She told me it is like the Harry Potter books for an older generation. So I went and bought me the book. I LOVED it !! I then bought the other two when they came out. These books are amazing! I can't put them down. I have read them all and I am waiting for the next on to come out this fall. And the movie is being filmed at this moment and will hopefully be out in December. I fell in love with these books. So go and get your copies and READ!

"Destiny"

We woke up this Friday morning and looked out the window to this! Snow storm "Destiny" (that is what the East coaters named it) came to town. Eric was really excited! He finally got some snow. Now this is an ok snow fall. Nothing like Utah though. But it was great to finally get some snow here. Take a look at it for yourself below.
