Last night Katrina , Katri , and Jenni and I went to go see the movie P.S. I Love You . It's most definitely a chick flick which I enjoy from time to time - but tend to limit in my life. Why, you ask? I could go on and on with this topic, but in a nutshell, I guess it's because I don't believe in the "Hollywood" version of romance. I think that it's easy to get caught up in it and compare real-life marriages to what is seen on screen (or in a novel) and it can set up unreal expectations. What I do believe in is chemistry - and WOW does this movie have it. I can sum it all up in one word: YUMMY! Go prepared to cry, laugh, and laugh while crying. It's an unrealistic story, which of course a man would never do in real life. However, it's absolutely beautiful and well worth your $9.50 and a girls night out. See what my sister, Lisa , had to say about it.

Christmas Day I took some time for myself and finished reading this book, " Embraced by the Light ". Katri let me borrow it and I loved it! It's one of those books that when you finish it - you feel like a good person and want to be even better. Basically, it's about a woman's near-death experience. But there's nothing basic about what she experienced nor what she learned. I was surprised by how spiritual and profound it was. As I was reading it, I felt like the author was right there in the room with me teaching me everything I needed to know for the next stage of my life. I know that it's not a cooincidence that I read this book, this week. I needed to feel the unconditional love of my Savior and I was completely surprised that I felt it while reading this book. I'm going to buy my own copy because it's one that I'm going to want (and need) to read again and again. The author, Betty J. Eadie, and I already share the same beliefs about the ...

Merry Christmas! I hope you all enjoyed the special time with your family. Ours was a success ! Davis said over and over that this was the best Christmas ever. I think it had more to do with the fact that he got to wake up at midnight to help stuff Drake's stocking and put presents under the tree while playing "Santa". He also kept telling me all morning long that, "I was the best mom ever!" It was so fulfilling that he realized that Santa hadn't been doing this for him year after year - it was me and Jason. I agree with Davis that this was the best Christmas ever - not because of the gifts but because of the special bond we made with Davis helping us play Santa. I'll never forget it.

We've had a fun several days and I wanted to be sure to document our experiences. Jason and I went to both of the boys winter parties at school. I had Drake at Davis' party where they made these cute snowmen out of socks. How to Make the Snowman: The body's a sock with yard tied in 3 sections to make the body, a glove for the hat, a piece of felt for the scarf, 2 brown pipe cleaners twisted together for the arms, buttons for the eyes, and a little light bulb for the nose. All the kids had such a great time making them! Drake and I went over to meet Jason over at Dylan's party. We were there a minute or so when Dylan started waving at us. Drake went crazy! He was yelling and shaking - so excited to see Dylan. Dylan came over and grabbed him and they embraced at their reunion. It was so endearing it made my heart swell. ;) Right after school we took of on a 6 hour drive to Galveston, Texas and our adventure at Moody Gardens . (Drake cried 5 out of the 6 hours. Grrr .) We...
