Homecoming 2012

By
Homecoming is usually defined by 2 things: football and dancing. Sometimes it also includes fall festival. This year we had snow, so fall festival got crossed off the list.
Friday = Football.
Kix was in the game and helped the team score 2 touchdowns in the first half. But in the 2nd quarter, he got injured. The second half of the game was spent in the ER, where we awaited texts, hoping to hear that it ended in a victory. Alas, it was not to be. Merino didn't score in the second half and ended up losing by ONE POINT!! :(  Here is a clip of what the newspaper article said about Kix. They did not mention his injury or the fact that he didn't play the second half, but I think that game would have ended differently if he would have been in there!  ♥
 
Saturday = Dancing
Ace went to Homecoming under diress. I had agreed to DJ, so I told him he had to come with me. I think he had fun, though he really didn't dance...  :(
Kix, however, went with on a group date with his friend Liz Thomas, along with Jaron Howard and Allie Owens, and Karly Kasper and Leon Johnson. He and Liz pretty much danced their butts off.  ♥

I am in love with this new song by Sara Bareilles. Thank you Sara for your positive creativity!!   As you can see, I originally posted this when I first heard the song. It is now Dec. 1st, and Brave has become pretty popular as the year has gone on, and even saw a recent spike in the charts when there was a fuss from some fans that Katy Perry had "stolen" from Brave when she did her hit song "Roar."  haha Anyway, there have been lots of covers of this song lately, and several music videos that warmed my heart.  But, I saw this one today, and it had me in tears.  This is what life is all about.  Thanks again Sarah for inspiring the goodness in so many people this year!

Virginia is entirely too far away. . .

Well . . . She's really gone. Her room has a freshly shampooed carpet, thanks to Grandma. Her bed is there, stripped of the green and blue bedding she loved, and there are a ton of empty hangers in her tiny little cabinet that we called a closet. Some of the posters are still on the wall - thank goodness - because some small things like that make me feel like she'll be back in a few days . . . ?? Not. Love you Rissy! Thanks for sharing 18 years with us side by side. Even though I don't have the backseat driver view that I've enjoyed so much, I'm so excited for this next chapter in your life. I know you've got amazing things coming your way - and I will be cheering you on with my whole heart - just from a different view.

My 7 recipes

By

**(Dec. 10th) OK - I lied- it's 8 recipes. Taysa and I made sugar cookies yesterday, and I realized I left those out of this list - so technically it's 9 if you count the recipe for frosting..... I only use 7 recipes. I don't only cook 7 things. It's just that I don't use recipes. For example, I make spaghetti with meat sauce, chilli, different soups, enchiladas, crock pot stuff, etc.  but I just throw things together and shake in the spices. There is rarely a recipe involved.   Baking, on the other hand, does require measuring stuff.  During the first few years of our marriage, I tried lots of different recipes, mostly ones that I got from my mom. I tweaked them a bit early on, but now I pretty much use these 7, and that's just what I bake. All the time. Chocolate Chip Cookies These win everyone over. Every time.
