The Jennings



Congrats to Andrew and Callie Jennings! They were married last Friday in the Draper Temple. The sealing was just wonderful and the couple looked amazing!



Pretty sure this is the last marriage for a bit. Too bad, it has been nice getting free food so often!


Callie and the girls....



Andrew and the boys!

China

Can you believe that these three (with number four on the way) gorgeous people have left us to move to China?? Well, they have!


The Three Muskateers in their last picture all together for a while...sad day!

All grown up Aunt Katie and cute Noah!

We were able to run up to Salt Lake the night before the Hunsakers left for China. It was fun to get together to see them before taking off on this great adventure! You guys are missed!!!!
Here's to me going to China in 2010!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!

America's Greatness

"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers-and it was not there,...in her fertile fields and boundless forests-and it was not there,...in her rich mines and her vast world commerce-and it was not there...Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."

-Alexis de Tocqueville as quoted in The Inevitable Apostasy (The new favorite book, you should check it out)

Eyebrows


In a world where we are obsessed with lasering off any extra hair, I've come to wonder why people haven't started lasering their eyebrows. I mean, come on....think about it...two random patches of hair on your forehead. Take a good look at your eyebrows sometime, they look kinda strange. Why do we even need them? I searched it online and this is what I got....

A: We need eyebrows because they stop dirt and sweat from getting in your eyes.

Fair enough.

But what about those people who have siblings who get mad at them and shave off one of their eyebrows in their sleep for revenge? Then what?

Yet Another Pearl


Ecclesiastes 10:19

A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

The Old Testament just cracks me up sometimes! I'm going to skip any pearls that I found in Songs of Solomon. Yeah. Starting Isaiah tomorrow...wish me luck!

Oh, and the picture above is of me cooking the fish my nephew ate. I figured it kinda went along with this post...in that it was a feast of sorts. I didn't have any pictures of me making merry with wine (obviously) and no pictures of me with lots of money (what a shame).

Pearls of Wisdom


Read your scriptures daily. In doing this, I come across gems such as this:

Proverbs 23:
13 Withhold not acorrection from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Those who know me well will probably understand why I find these verses great. (hint...the reason why I could never be a teacher!)
