The INGs

Just a grainy Iphone picture to accompany all this text. :)

LOVING: Southwestern Beef in the crockpot from Our Best Bites. This will be our 3rd night having it for dinner in one form or another. And I'm not even a beef girl.

READING: I am reading The Anatomy of Peace. It's about principles that can help us have peace in our lives and hearts. I don't love the style of writing, and I am not "eating it up" quite like I expected to. I CAN say that in some ways it has already been a life changer though.

WATCHING: Nate and I have been watching a show on Netflix called Out of the Wild: Venezuela. Nate served his mission in Venezuela, so that was the big reason we chose to start this show. It's about 9 people who are dropped off in a remote area of Venezuela. With only basic supplies, they have to survive and get back to civilization. We really like it.


ANTICIPATING: Oh this is an easy one. I have 4 wonderful friends that I met in Ohio, and we are having a girls' weekend here in a little over a week. Cannot wait for this. I am also super excited to see Nate's mom who will coming to visit next week.

LISTENING TO: We are really into the Disney Tarzan soundtrack lately. I have always loved it and used to own the CD. I recently downloaded about 5 of my favorite songs from the movie, and the kids are converted now too.

PLANNING: Nate and I are in charge of a Pinewood Derby for a big single adults conference being held here in Las Vegas in a few weeks. We have been planning and meeting and organizing and buying to make this event really fun and successful.


WORKING ON: Being respectful! All of us...but mostly Jansen and Natalie. 


WISHING: I wish I still knew French like I did at the end of high school. I have plans to start brushing up on it again, but we will have to see if that ever really happens.

That is such a cute picture! Please work on your French while you are still young and your brain works. I want to learn Italian. Stop laughing.

Just say it. You are looking forward to ANNIE coming to visit you in a week. Don't worry. I won't tell any of the other girls. Or your mother in law.
