Jonah's Baptism

My nephew Jonah got baptized this weekend. In the church I belong to, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we get baptized when we turn 8 as we view this as the age of accountability. Where a person is really cognisant of being able to choose between right and wrong.

My Uncle Russ came into town from Indiana to baptize Jonah on his special day. Here are some pics of the fun night:

Hope you enjoy sharing in our family times. :)

10 Year High School Reunion

Yup, I have been out of high school for 10 years. Wow, time goes way too fast!


So this weekend we had our 10 year high school reunion for the Marquette High School Class of 1999. Friday night was the Homecoming football game which some of us attended.


A small group of us, Nicole, Heather, Dominique and me went to O'Charley's afterwards (well after half time) for dinner/appetizers to hang out and catch up.

Then on Saturday we got more of us together and had lunch at Steak'n Shake that I worked at while in high school. Here's a group shot we got our waitress to take:

Back row: Dominique, Nicole, Becky, Me. Front row: Heather, Jane, John and Sara.

It was awesome to see some old friends and get together when we could. Thanks guys for hanging out! Some of us couldn't/didn't want to go so that's why we did lunch.

Really, it does not feel like 10 years. Getting older as time goes on. Sigh. :)

My Closet Broke

Yup, you heard me right. Tuesday morning I came back in my room from getting ready in the bathroom, turned on the light...and found this in my closet:

Must have happened sometime during the night...but I totally slept through it.

Apparently my closet is telling me....I have too many clothes. :)

So through the week I emptied it...and on Saturday we fixed my closet:

Isn't it pretty? And yes, I did go through my clothes and got rid of 2 large black trash bags full of stuff to donate. I still going through all the boxes and storage stuff to see if I still want to keep some stuff. Fun times. :)

But since Mom and I put this new closet together/hung it up ourselves...we are just hoping we did it right...and my closet doesn't break again! Power to the women! At least that's what I keep telling myself. hehe.

Matt's Birthday

Okay - here are some pics from Matt's birthday party:

Now, Mom and I were there as well, but we did noise cards...those I did videos. :)

Happy Birthday Matt!

Family Reunion

So, I'm behind on blogging...as that would involve downloading the pics from my camera...and I didn't do it till now. :) So here are the pics from the Christensen family reunion we went to over Labor Day weekend in Pocatello, Idaho:

Enjoy the pics!

Abbott and Costello

Okay, so I was talking with Dominique and I mentioned the beginning of that old Abbott and Costello joke - Who's on First, What's on Second.

If you haven't heard of/seen the joke, you gotta, it's really pretty funny. Here's a clip of it from You Tube. Thought I'd end this week with a fun joke/skit. If you listen to the words you can get it:





Now, for those who only half listened, or still don't get it....

Who - name of player on first
What - name of player on second
I Don't Know - name of player on third
Why - name of left fielder
Because - name of center fielder
Tomorrow - name of pitcher
Today - name of catcher
I Don't Care - name of short stop

Now - since I had to explain the joke...listen to it again. It gets funnier. :)

Have a good weekend!

9-9-09!

Today is my brothers birthday!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

MATT!!!!

You old fogey you. :) hehe. I love to poke fun...one of the many perks of being the youngest. Now, I found a couple cute Happy B-day sign pics, but the computer is determined to not upload them due to 'internal errors'. Matt, come fix it! jk.

So today Matt turns 33...on 9-9-09. And if you multiply the two numbers in his age...(3 x 3)...they equal 9! Amazing! I'm sure I could find other things that are just coincidences, but we'll just go with one for now.

Well Matt, I hope you have a wonderful day, and don't sleep too much of it away. :) Love ya!
