Kansas

By
Friends, I haven't blogged for a little while.  I missed you all.  This is because Danny and I took a little break and flew out to Kansas to visit Nathan (Danny's brother), Erin and their children.  We had such a fun time with their family and Kansas is gorgeous this time of year!  (Except for maybe the tornados.  While I was there, I got to have my first experience hearing a tornado siren, which went off while we were having a picnic.  Luckily, the tornados didn't hit where we were.  My heart goes out to the communities that were damaged by the tornados. They are in my prayers.)  Anyway, I thought I would share my favorite pictures from our visit.

The girls put on hats to be like Danny




A dino encounter at the Natural History Museum.  (Cue the Jurassic Park
music...which I once did a ballet performance to when I was 12.  How's
that for a pointless fact?)

One morning Iz came downstairs to visit me in her
astronaut suit and a laundry basket on her head.  I
thought that was pretty awesome.
Nathan and Erin took us to this really cool restaurant for lunch that had such
unique ingredients for their tacos.  Pumpkin seeds/sauce = scrumptious tacos.
Our very talented sister-in-law Erin plays the harp exceptionally
well.  She teaches lessons and plays for different functions.
She was hired to play for a wedding by the lake, so Danny and
I tagged along and took a walk around the lake during the
ceremony.  It was so green and beautiful!  


Gorgeous!
Danny and Me!



My brother-in-law Nathan teaches at KU.  He took Danny and I on a tour
of campus. Nathan had the great idea of a foot picture by the tile mascot.  I love
when people embrace my form of foot art.  Danny got to be in this foot picture
as well.

    Yay! I've been checking every day for some pictures from your trip! Looks like you had lots of fun! I'm so glad you got to go and visit the Kansas Woods. Now, save up and lets find a deal on airline tickets (look for Southwest fares to Panama City) for you to come visit the Florida Shulers!!! :)

    Thanks for coming, Jannifer and Danny! It was great to have you here. I'm glad you got a shot of our tacos and of Lizzy in yet another of her silly outfits.

    I love all of the hats, and that is a great pose Lydia has outside of the museum. Lizzy with a laundry basket on her head in her astronaut suit; that girl is a hoot! And Jannifer, I didn't know you used to do ballet.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou
