Rescue Dawn

Blockbuster in our area is going out of business. :( I guess Netflix got 'em.

Matt bought Rescue Dawn for like $4 and we watched it this weekend. (He knows I love the Bale)

It was amazing! Such an inspirational (true) story. 

The neat thing is: we were talking last night at dinner about it, and my grandpa asked who the movie was about. We said, "Dieter Dengler." He said, "Oh I know him." So casually! Haha if you know Bobba, this is typical...everything is understated with him :) 

Anyway, it turns out after Dengler's escape from Laos and career with the Navy, he flew for TWA with my grandpa. Isn't that cool? 

Bobba said he always had the craziest stories, and you were never sure if he was telling the truth or exaggerating. After seeing this movie, he sure went through a lot! Highly recommend it. 

Study Habits

Hey...at least the book is still in my hand! 

Magical Unicorns and Happy Pictures

This is my sister-in-law, Karina. She was on TV! It was cool. We were watching the CES Fireside because my sister Lindsay sang in the choir. Elder Holland gave such a beautiful talk! So we saw Lindsay sing, then the commercials came on after - and there was Karina! She taught English in China and they were advertising study abroad through BYU. Both of our sisters were on TV! :)

Isn't my little brother such a handsome guy? 

I drew this magical unicorn for my 3rd grade boys. They were in awe of how incredible it was. One of my little guys talks just like Pedro on Napoleon Dynamite. He said, "You shoul' draw a tree on eet." So I did. Then he told me to draw another one below it. Then he said, "Ee nees a crown." So there you have it.  

This is Logan telling Matt that he's her best friend. Then giving him a kiss :)

He's gonna be such a great dad :)

I just love this picture. Look at Avery's little face! How can you say no to her? I gave her my phone and she put it on the back of her head and pretended to talk on it. So cute.  

New Calling!

Yesterday I was sustained as the Primary teacher for the 7-year-olds! I am SO excited! They are so sweet. I have a little boy who is hard of hearing, and Christina Christiansen will be signing for him while I teach. How neat is that? 

Yesterday in Sharing Time, they held up a picture of the Salt Lake City Temple.  

A little girl in my class jumped up and yelled, "THE PRESIDENT'S HOUSE!!!"

It was awesome.  

It's so funny to me that my work life mirrors my church calling or vice versa.

Eggman.

Meet Eggman. 

Inspired by a late-night fried egg sandwich craving...

which led to me frying an egg and imitating its voice as he "talked" to Matt. 

Sassy lil' guy.
