I’m still smiling over this post!
I love cheese, and I adore your aprons. I want one.
Just last week, Michaela said…”Mom – we need to start planning our Election Party”. We found the sheet where everyone had predicted who they thought would win – and also wrote down some comments about the presidenial campaign. There were some really funny comments written down!
I also had to smile remembering that one of my friends, commenting on our sign… (” Welcome! This is a bi-partisian, line dancing, mechanical bull riding, Texas BBQ Election Party”) asked me – did you really rent a mechnical bull?? You poor thing! Walking in on a party with 46 crazy Republicans.
I’ll never forget seeing you for the first time. We fell in love with you then…you were, and remain – our favorite first daughter in law. : ) Do you remember sitting in the laundry room stairway with Funnel – and you had that helmet on??? I knew then that you two belonged together, forever.
I don’t know if I ever told you how nervous I was meeting your parents for the first time. We met for dinner – and I presumed that they were rich democrats. And here we were…the poor republicans!!! I miss your parents – I’m going to call them today.
On a side note: I love that we live in American and have the freedom to vote our conscience. I’m so excited that you young people are voting! My first experience was as an 18 yr. old in college – and Dan and I waited 3 hours in line to vote for Ronald Reagan! We were so full of anticipation! We just read about the Mayflower experience this week. Wow – our history is pretty amazing. I’m convinced that we take alot for granted on a daily basis.
Sorry this is so long – I’m totally distracted today, just musing about this and that.
See you SOON!!! Love, always! M

I voted today!! It was super exciting! I know I’m voting differently than my parents and something about that made me feel really grown up and independent! I was thrilled to get my “I voted” sticker.

I love the aprons.

I know what you mean about feeling like you were born in the wrong time and place. I am a huge history lover- so growing up I read ((no, I still do)) a lot of historical fictions novels and what not, history books. Yes- that is the one textbook I did read. I always wondered why God had me born when he did. ((can I say ‘had me born’?)) But as much as I would love to jump in a time machine and check everything out, I figure He has a pretty good reason for my life in this time and place. . . but if ever a time machine is invented… I’m in!

It sounds like you had a great time with your mom this weekend, making aprons, watching a movie and getting cheese! We have Amish near us, but they don’t make cheese:(

P.S. I love the clothesline picture and I want to see more pictures of the adorable aprons.

This is a very wist-making entry. I love it. My best friend Heather will probably love it too, since she understands about /AOGG/ and being born in the wrong decade/century.
To answer your Alaska question, first I must ask a question of my own—how did you know it was Alaska? Was it the 4,286 miles clue? Was it stumbling upon my mom’s/dad’s blog through my blogroll? I’m intrigued. Mom and Dad got appointed to the Alaska Missionary Conference, where they’ll serve for probably four years, then see how they feel about staying longer. Alaska has been on my dad’s mind/heart for a long time. Coincidentally, I found mention of moving to Alaska back in a journal entry from when I was 14. I guess now is finally the time.
I love stories of being in love. I still want to hear the story of how you and Funnel revealed you had feelings for each other.
