Planetary Verbosity

Wow, I’ve been away from this for a loooong time…again. For some reason, I haven’t felt much like blogging lately and I’ve been majorly busy. Ok, now that the excuses are out of the way, here are a few updates.

First, Lucy is getting bigger and getting into more trouble as each day goes by. Still, she’s irresistibly sweet and lovable when not getting into trouble. Snoopy is still not a Lucy fan at all, but he’s slowly getting used to her…I think. It doesn’t help that among her favorite hobbies are pouncing on him, chasing him, jumping over him, diving under him, etc.

News from the homestead is almost non-existent. I haven’t been going up as much because most of the good weather days happened to fall on Sunday, and I was at church. It also snowed quite a bit over the last month, so much of the work involved clearing snow. Dave did tear the rest of the boards out of the main room of the house. Hopefully soon, we’ll be able to start insulating it, although part of the front wall needs replaced first.

I’ve also been busy on the spiritual front. As I mentioned, I’ve been attending church regularly, as well as Sunday school. I am going to be baptized on January 10, which is also my dad’s 73rd birthday. I finished my written testimony and have been working on memorizing scripture.

Christmas, for the most part, was the same as other years. We went to the annual Christmas Eve party with Dave’s family and then spent Christmas day with my family. That said, it definitely had a new meaning this year. I’ll leave it at that for now.

Photos to come soon; it’s almost time for me to head to bed. In the meantime, you may want to clean your monitor, as Lucy is curious to see what you’re doing…
