Rainbows

Rainbow: The sign or token of God’s covenant with Noah (Gen. 9: 13-17). JST, Gen. 9: 21-25 explains that the covenant includes the promises that the earth will never again be covered with a flood of water, that the Zion of Enoch will return, and that the Lord will come again to dwell on the earth.

How cool it is that we can be reminded of that every so often. Friday night, I had the blessing of witnessing this awesome rainbow! I am ever so grateful to carry my camera all the time.

By the way, this photo is NOT touched up in anyway. It was seriously this bright!

Plumbing Issues

This is the ceiling in our basement bathroom. Not sure what is wrong, but regardless its a problem and its too late to call our landlord tonight. Thankfully, we have a plumber in our ward. He's on his way!

Hill Air Force Base Air Show 2009

Yesterday, today, and probably for the next few days, I'm home sick with the SWINE FLU... yes, that's right. SWINE FLU.

While I'm home, what better to do with my time than catch up on things I'm behind on, like blogging? And, here ya go.

Last weekend, I went with a bunch of friends to Hill Air Force Base in Clearfield to watch the air show. On the drive up, we got stuck in the tail end traffic of a huge accident that closed both directions of I-15 for 3 hours. We thought about going up earlier, but I'm grateful we didn't. After being so late to the base, we only got to see about an hour of the show, but what an hour it was! The only souvenirs I took home with me are the pictures and videos below. The last one is my favorite!

Testing

If this works, then I can start posting from anywhere, which means much better blogging! Or, at least more up to date blogging!

Penny Pinching

At some point in our lives, we will all struggle financially. I keep hoping to marry into money and then I won't have to worry about it... but lets be real. Probably not going to happen! Instead, I'll probably have to live off coupons while I put a husband through a graduate program or something. The truth is, it can't hurt to begin teaching myself how to be frugal and money smart.

First things first, its time to read some good books. A couple years ago, I read The Richest Man In Babylon and loved it. I should read that again, followed by Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace-Revisited. May I suggest to friends and family who may also be in need of some education to do the same. In the meantime, if you don't have either of these books accessible to you, just try learning to penny pinch. If you need a little nudge, or simply some suggestions of how to get started, visit this blog Penny Pincher Advice. Best of luck to you all! (And to me)

"Where's Your Husband?"

"Where's your husband, Rachel?" That's what I was asked today by my sweet niece Eliza (below). My response of "I don't have one Eliza" was quickly shot down by her astute observation. "But Sarah has one!"

Sarah and I busted up laughing. Who doesn't adore the honesty of children?

Wish I knew, Eliza. Wish I knew!

That was Wicked!

After 6 months of holding onto my tickets (and thinking I lost them for 3 of the 6) I finally saw Wicked!

Sarah and I had a blast at the musical. Neither of us had seen it before, but we'd heard some of the music. I was pleasantly surprised by the comedy of the show, and also the tenderness. It is a total must see the next time I go to NYC! It was such a great night! Thanks for coming Sarah.
