"O Remember, Remember"

November 27, 2007

Thanksgiving was full of all sorts of blasts from the past! We took Russell on a tour of the Jelly Belly factory, an old childhood favorite, which became interesting to him only after we got to sample new jelly belly flavors. Their art gallery included a portrait of good ol' Arnold made of nothing but the best, you guessed it, Jelly Bellys! And we always know that we're at Grandma and Grandpa Hodnett's house for Thanksgiving when there is rainbow jello and turkey nut cups on the dinner table!

We Are From...

We are from love. We are from marriage. We are from a baby in a baby carriage. We are from a blind date, a glad we're not blind date. We are from Provo, from Paso, from everywhere in the Middletown. We are from rainy days and Mondays and lots of first day of school days. We are from Winco and Walmart, from super soaking cottage cheese ceilings, from "Flip That House." We are from orange dream machine jambas and a protein boost for him please. From rainbow jell-o, Christmas jell-o, from it's a girl pink jell-o and from it's a boy blue jell-o. We are from yam puffs, veggie puffs, PuPPPs, and someday a puppy. We are from surfboards, snow boards, skateboards, motorized skateboards, wakeboards, ironing boards. We are from we don't know how to be bored. We are from fish in our trunk, from sushi nights out and KFC Christmas eves in. We are from bowling, a lot, from shooting pool and other things. We are from the Bob Jone's Trail, from trail mix, from mix matched socks, from shoes. We are from Donald's words of advice, from serving, from being served. We are from 1st Nephi 3:7, from faith, from family. We are from laughter. We are from love. We are from God.
