Lydia's Christmas Wish???
Well, while 99% of Utahns are either at the Utah v. BYU game or home watching it, I am at work wishing just one person might choose to shop for a town home today rather than see the most anticipated game of the year! Anyway, while I'm here at work, Gary and Lydi are taking there bi-weekly field trip to Cabella's! Gary just sent me this picture of Lydi bugs on the ATV he wants to buy her. It's obviously too soon, but he is counting down the days to when he can buy this for her! He said she loved it too and he had to peel her off of it!

$1.79
Is anyone else as excited as I am about gas being $1.79 a gallon? Hopefully this will encourage some people to go out and buy their big huge American made gas guzzlers...I say go for it, just don't drive them!

eLeCtIoN dAy...
I really wanted to post this Wednesday morning when I was feeling all patriotic and hopeful! But, I guess now is better than never. This is for Lydia since my blog is in essence an online journal of her life, I want her to know about this historical night...
Gary and I were both feeling a little bit under the weather, as was Lydi bugs. I was going to vote before going into work, but, of course, I was running late for a meeting and thought to myself "maybe I'll get to it later tonight." Gary was not planning on voting because he hadn't registered with our new address. As we sat and ate dinner and watched results come in from the east coast we decided to pack Lydi in tha car, brave the cold, and head up the street to our precinct to cast our votes. We voted differently that night, but I think by the end of the night we both felt somewhat victorious. Finally, the nasty campaign ads had ceased and our country was once again united by a history making event. I was moved to tears as I listened to President-elect Obama give his acceptance speech...
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America," he said.
The election is historic. When Mr. Obama takes office in January, he will become first the African-American president in the nation's 232-year history. His election ends eight years of Republican control of the White House under President George W. Bush.
As the vote count progressed, the Democrat far outpaced his rival in the state-by-state tally of electoral votes. The winning candidate needs 270 electoral votes. Senator McCain fell far short, as Mr. Obama won such contested states as Ohio and Pennsylvania, which many saw as crucial for a McCain victory.
In his victory speech in Chicago, Mr. Obama spoke of the challenges facing the nation, which include the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, what he called a planet in peril and the worst financial crisis in a century.
"There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build and threats to meet, alliances to repair. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep," said Mr. Obama. "We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there."

BeLla bEaN!
My cousin's baby Bella paid a visit from Logan last weekend! we got to visit with her on Saturday. It was such a nice night...it almost felt like summer. The kidlets had a great time playing in the leaves at GG's house. Bella Bean is just two days older than Lydia! Her mom and I are one month and one day apart. She is younger than me- but was supposed to have come first. Just like Lydia should have been here a week before Bella (what do those doctors know anyway!?!) We're just glad we all made it in one order or another!

One Down...
This Halloween was a mix of emotions for me. It was hard because I remember last year's Halloween so vividly and this year was different in so many ways! Last year Lydi was two months old. I wasn't working at all at the time and I spent the entire day with my dad preparing for the big Halloween party. I made my mom's famous sloppy joes and got the house ready as I tended to my dad and Lydia. It was a nice day with him and the baby. I don't think he felt very good. It seems like he stayed in bed most of the day as he slept off and on and suffered through the smell of the dinner as it simmered on the stove. (He hated the smell (and taste) of bell peppers).
We miss him so much, but as mom says, "we made it" through our first big holiday without him. There will be many more, I'm sure, and we'll make it through those as well. It will never be the same but we'll continue to create memeories as he would want us to.
This year we changed up the "sloppy joe" tradition a litte bit. Mom made her awesome clam chowder and taco soup and I made rolls that looked like pumpkins.
We had a a great time with everyone and we especially enjoyed the warm weather as we made our way trick-or-treating around Walden Hills.
Lydi was the sweetest Little cowgirl you ever saw!
