Just a reminder


Tom morning is General Conference. “The 176th Semiannual General Conference of the Church will convene in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City on Saturday and Sunday, September 30 – October 1, 2006. The Saturday general sessions will be held at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.; Sunday sessions will be held at 9:30 a.m. (which includes Music and the Spoken Word ) and 2:00 p.m. The general priesthood meeting will be held in the Conference Center on Saturday, September 30, at 6:00 p.m.

The First Presidency invites all members of the Church (active or not)* to participate by attending, viewing, or listening via television, radio, satellite, or Internet transmission at www.lds.org. Messages of inspiration and guidance will be delivered by the First Presidency, members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and other General Authorities and general officers of the Church.

Usual Sunday meetings on October 1 need not be held. In areas where only one Sunday session is broadcast, local leaders can either adjust meeting schedules or, where appropriate, rearrange the agenda of regularly scheduled meetings to permit members to listen to or watch conference proceedings.

A live, English-only video stream of each session of conference (except general priesthood meeting) will be available at www.byu.tv. Please note that the BYU-TV enhanced video player is designed for computers with the Windows operating system and a broadband Internet connection. Please also note that any time you click the BYU-TV link above, you will see the current BYU-TV video feed.” *Parenthesis Added

Champion


I wanted to let ya’ll know what the deal was with the champion belt in the right column at the bottom. It’s the official ‘Fight Night 3 ‘ on Xbox360 champion belt. It will stay on display on this blog until I am dethroned as the Champ. If someone beats me I will give them the belt. My current record is an amazing 2-1 against Darin. This earned me braggin rights (which I WILL use Darin) and the Championship belt. THANK YOU.

PS check out this fun game. Is it fun enough to be added to the Other stuff links?

Highlights

Well, it looks like I might NOT be getting my hair highlighted. Thanks to those of you who have voted at our little voting station. I have been debating for a few months now about this issue. You have swayed me, at least for the moment. Why have I been wanting highlights, you ask? Well first of all, I normally get natural highlights from spending time out in the summer sun, but this summer I didn’t stay outside much at all because I’ve heard that babies (ie Chase) can get sunburned quite easily even with sunscreen. So my hair color is quite dark, I feel. Also, I am tired of the same general color I’ve had my whole life; I want a change, and also I like the look of lighter hair with lighter skin like mine. Plus, I think blonde hair is stunning but there’s no way I would ever completely dye my hair, and I wouldn’t look good blonde anyway. But hey, let’s face it, when a guy sees a blonde girl from a distance, he generally thinks she’s hot even if he can’t really see her face, but a brunette doesn’t catch his eye quite as easily. At least that’s what I have observed. Not that I’m trying to impress guys, just my husband, but maybe he would like my hair better with highlights even though he claims he wouldn’t. I think he just doesn’t want me to spend money on it and be stuck in a never-ending cycle of paying for touch-ups every 2 months or so, even if it is just at a local beauty school. But the money issue really does affect my current decision, since we’re moving and I would rather spend that money on things for the house. So anyway, for now it’s a no-no. But we’ll see what I think tomorrow. Let’s hear some comments from anyone who actually read through this post!

Home at last

Finally, we are back to the grind in UT. We had a GREAT time in NC (look for photos soon in McPhotos), had tons of fun and Chase seemed to develop a lot. We got home this afternoon, I’m tired, we flew in to Vegas last night, and drove back today. Just wanted to say hi before we went to bed.

Just a reminder


In case you forgot. The Providence High School team won the Carolina Ice Hockey Highschool Championships. I was the goalie… I just watched it again from the VHS that McGrandaddy taped. Thank you.

Oh and PS the Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup… just a coincidence? I think not!

Ahh North Carolina!


Well we made it safe. Chase does NOT like long car rides. He did amazing on the plane, fell asleep at just the right times. Hate to have seen what would’ve happened if he didn’t. Hopefully we don’t find out on the way home. It was WAY too long of a day though. For the next few years non-stop only! Chase also alked with President Jimmy Carter, that was cool. Now we’re having a good time in NC enjoying the moisture.

First things first, we fixed the doorbell and cleaned out the attic of old toys. Cotton was nice enough to seperate all the toys I wanted into a box labeled, “For Cotton, DO NOT TOUCH” – Thanks Cotton.

Talk to ya later

For those of you involved in McNFL, I hope you’re keeping track. Cotton is winning, but it’s only week one!

A picture show is back on the main page, now with captions on mouse over. Don’t forget to check out McPhotos as well.

We are leaving for Vegas tom afternoon, then off to Carolina on Tues! We are SO excited. I’m sure Joy will post an update on how Chase does traveling.

NEWS FLASH: Provo has crime too. Joy’s bike was stolen sometime this week. She’s very sad. 🙁
