Robert goes to DC

Robert and some classmates went to DC to lobby. He met with senators and talked about healthcare. He said it was pretty sweet to see politics in action.

Crockpot!

My mom sent me a life altering email with tons of crockpot recipes. We have had a crockpot dinner almost every night this week! Everything from chicken curry to BBQ chicken….. The crockpot is the most genius thing ever invented. I don’t have to make much of an effort yet I feel like a domestic diva! If anyone else would like to partake of these recipes leave your email……. it will change your life!

Oh Happy Day!!!

Last night it was my turn to say the prayer. I finished the prayer with "oh yeah, please cancel school tomorrow!" Robert laughed.... but he didn't think it was that funny when I jumped on him at 5'oclock this morning screaming "School is canceled, my prayer came true!"


Moral of the story: You might as well give it a shot and pray for it because you never know what will happen!!!!!

Happy Snow Day!!!!!

You've got mail!

Other than Netflicks and bills we rarely get anything in the mail. So we were ecstatic when we received a package from home. My domestic brother-in-law, Matt, made us these rad mugs in ceramics. Robert also scored a sweet Alta High School Champion sweatshirt. Thanks Matt for the sweatshirt. Robert wears it ALL the time. I should probably wash it soon :) Denice, thanks for the candy, I am sure it tasted great but I wouldn't know because it was gone before I got home ... thanks hunny... NOT!!

Here, Robert is showing off his cool sweatshirt next to our African mask friend "Bubba".

Pinkie up!

CHEERS!!!!

Reading Rainbow

I can always tell how much I like my current book by how many subway stops I pass before realizing I passed my stop. Well after reading this book I almost lost my job from consecutive tardies and Robert sent search teams out for me several nights…… obviously, not really but I am trying to make a point of how truly amazing this book is. It paints a perfect picture of an immigrant’s life in the early 1900’s. I am sad the book is over.. maybe I'll read it again ?!?

Memories are Precious

My aunt Arlene has been going through my grandma's old pictures and she sent me this picture she found. It's crazy, I sear I remember my grandma taking this picture. It seems like yesterday. I can still remember the smell of that old piano and remember my grandma's contagious laugh. Good memories but really bad hairdo!
