Elder Wright

This post is mostly for my mom, but i guess i figured posting the pics is better than emailing them to her. My little bro is currently just past half way through serving his mission in (right now) Cloverdale CA!! He sent me this pics a while back so I thought I'd share them.

Well, I hope you enjoy!! The last letter I received he sounded good, saying he's had more people to teach lately- so that's good. Love you bro!!

Its about that time of the year!!!!!



Yes, you all know it! Its when the air starts to be crisp and the leaves start to fall. It's when men start to day dream about how other men will do on Sunday. Its when men start to yell at TV's and demand that their player get the football. A time when husbands are so intensely looking at their teams stats that they drown out any other distractions even though their wives ask if he would like to go antique shopping next weekend and he is so out of it that all he says yes. Yes, it is true, it is fantasy football time. Oh such a glorius time!

This year is no exception. Michael Phelps just finished competing for 8 Olympic gold medals. Well with his glory in mind I plan to achieve such fantasy glory it will marvel the world, or those who play fantasy football. I know there are a lot of nea-sayers out there. I feel confident though with all the leagues I'm in, that I will leave with a gold medal! How many you may ask?

ESPN.com - two leagues (Los Hermanos Group from Utah, Friends I grew up with in Wisconsin)

Yahoo.com - three leagues (Two leagues with friends I grew up with in Wisconsin and finally another with brothers and brother-in laws and friends)

Oh, also if you need anyone else just let me know. I think I can squeeze a few more in! Sorry Trish I'm going to busy for the next couple of monts, see you then!

my latest quilt

This was a project i did for work a few weeks ago. It's displayed in the store and online until the fabric sells then i get to keep it. It's not my best work but in order to get the fabric for free i do the pattern my boss asks, no complaints here. She even quilted it for me (which was very nice of her). too bad they didn't take a pic of the border it's a really cute stripe and I must say I did an excellent job for my first project mitering the corners of a border- matching stripes on a 45 deg angle is not the easiest job in the world.

done and DONE


Well I finished last night. Now I might be able to get to bed before 3am. I know, kidof lame that i stayed up that late and it still took me almost a week to read it- I really liked it. It has been a really fun book/series to read and its really hard for me to NOT obsess about something I like. now i'll just have to wait for the movie :)
