okay, I know it's been a while.....

Okay, I know it's been a while since my last post, but I've been super busy. That's right. Not just busy, but Super busy! I've been taking a web class on how to design web pages and I didn't realize (nor did most of my class judging from our prof.'s e-mail) that it was a quick class lasting only half the semester. So...that mean I had to get my 5 page web site up and running much sooner than expected! The last week I've spent it fine tuning everything and posting it for my final You can check it out at: www.geocities.com/jmsnutmeg/Home.html. I'm kind of proud of my first real attempt. (the store one doesn't count) I actually learned html for this and since you all know how much I LOVE maths and sciences (they being tools of satan) you can imagine the tredipdation I had going into the class. But, for the most part and barring the days when I screamed and cried over my computer, most of it made sense and actually WORKED. Amazing. There's been lots of drama at work, at home, at school, etc. Stephen dropped a 10 pound weight on his foot yesterday morning at the gym so we were at the doctors yesterday making sure it wasn't broken. Luckily it isn't, but somehow I doubt he's going to rest it for the 6 weeks she suggested (especially with Ryan recommending he take some pain medication and suck it up!). Yes, miracles do happen and Mom actually wrote a blog. I'll get her back in here one of these days. And no Ryan, I seriously doubt she's ready to vote for Hilary. Espcecially not since she hisses every time Hilary comes on tv. Kiely your hair is too short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop cutting it!!!!!!!! I was okay with the flapper look, but I'm not buying the 'I'm just going to shave it for the summer heat' excuse. Okay, Love you all-it's time for American Idol!

The New Look

Check out the new look for the day! Props to my roommate!

Random House!!

So, for those of you who don't know, the house I live in, my roommates and I named it The Random House. So, if you ever hear me say that or write it somewhere, that's what I'm referring to. So, we were having some fun here at the house today after stake conference. So we sat outside to relax and ended up playing around with the camera. Check 'em out!!
PS: I've fallen. I have a new hairstyle, and surprise surprise, I'm wearing make-up!! Aaaahhhhh!!! Scary!!!!! :)

Spiritual Insight

Oh man!! I love Elder Bednar! He's amazing! We had stake conference this weekend, and Elder Bednar of the Twelve Apostles was here and spoke to us. And, I got to shake his hand! It was so cool. But he's so funny and just sincere and has a way of really keeping his audience captivated by his comments. He's great.
So, he said something that led me to start thinking about various things, and then I happened to see a scripture that really made me think about our family. It's Luke 6:21, "Blessed are ye that weep now: for ya shall laugh." We have a lot that we've gone through together, a lot that we're going through now, and a lot that we will go through together. And there's going to be a lot of tears and sadness, but even though that's happening now, we will laugh in the future. That scripture just gave me a whole new outlook.
So think positive everyone, because soon enough, we will all be laughing our little heads off. ;)

I love you all!!!!

Oh my goodness!!

The other half of the Smiths responded!!! The end is coming!! It's good to know you're still alive there Ry! :) And hey, everyone's got their talents and... addictions. With other people it's heroine, buying shoes, eating marshmallow concoctions: mine just happens to be blogging. So, respect the skill my friend! Don't be hatin'! And, Bets is close behind me in blogging time, so watch closely at home before you go abroad! :)
But isn't it a wonderful feeling to blog? It's relaxing, time consuming, addictive: I mean what else is better? :) But, maybe this summer I'll enter a program, if I do drop out...
Good luck at our luck. Remember though: hitchhiking is dangerous. Be careful. :)
80 degrees... pishposh. It got to 55 degrees today!!!! I went bike riding in shorts, which was amazing, and afterward layed out in the sun and read a book. It was the greatest feeling ever! Oh, and scary story! I was riding my bike, and this guy almost hit me! Luckily I saw him and swerved out of the way, and he stopped as I was swerving. So it was all good. But if we hadn't seen each other, he would have hit me straight on. Talk about fish food.
And, you should all know: I finished the fourth season of '24'!!! It was so good!! One more and I'll be on the current season!! I'm so excited!!

Love you all!
Thanks for the concern Ry... ;)

You go, Smiths!

This is such a great Blog week for the Smiths. What we lack in luck we make up in for in Blogging ability. First Mom, now Ryan... almost brings a tear to my eye, oh wait...it's just an eyelash, but in any case I'm sure proud of us all! So let's not dwell on our bad luck, but revel in the true talents of our brood. Three cheers for the Smiths!!

Hip Hip Horay,

Hip, Hip Horay,

Hip Hip, oh DARN IT I just fell and broke my hip... off to the hospital.

Our luck stinks.

Ryan In The House

Mom on the computer? The Apocalypse is upon us! This is my first time even reading any of these postings 'cause Bets has been picking up the slack for us. So Kiely hopes it's going to be 45, I hate to rub it in but we're looking at '80's next week. So if Mom can now use the computer does that means she's progressive enough to vote for Hillary? Just kidding, maybe.
I think we should all have an intervention with Kiely for her blog addiction. I could see her dropping out of school and just blogging for money. I'm scared for you sis. Stay strong.
Bets and I are going to Vegas in two weeks to try the Smith luck again. I'm sure we'll keep with tradition and hitchhike home.
Enough for now I have to watch college basketball to do some 'studying ' for the college basketball tournament.
Stay strong Kiely, start with one day at a time.

Ryan Out!
