The Mazda3

Well I thought that I would write a little blog to let everyone know that I made a slightly large purchase. Most of you know, just not those who live in Ohio. So here it is... My car. It was a pretty rough road trying to get this baby. I have been looking for weeks and I thought that I had found THE car. I was a beautiful blue color and had all of the features I wanted. I drove the car once and wanted dad to see it to get his opinion so I set up another time to meet up with the seller. Well the day came that we were suppose to meet up and he didn't answer my call. I had my heart set on that car so I was pretty upset. I had sold my Lancer that same afternoon so I was without a car. Well that night we called another seller about the Mazda they had for sale. It was orange and that kind of scared me, but I wanted to see it anyways. So we went to Tremonton and saw the car and I fell in love with it.

So... I know you can all see the picture but I will tell you all the awesome features of my new love. It is the Mazda3 S. It is a burnt orange color that glitters in the sun.. It has black interior with orange dots on it. It has a sweet spoiler. And the nice tail lights. (They made 2 different types of tail lights.. and I was pretty set on these ones. Silly I know) It also has fog lamps, a sunroof, and a 6 disc cd changer.

Happy Aniversery, Summer and Bryan!

Summer and Bryan met in November, while donating plasma in Ogden. They began talking with each other and the rest of the people that were donating plasma. Summer finished first, but didn't want to leave. Bryan was afraid that she would leave and he couldn't follow her. But Summer walked over to him and kept the conversation going. Bryan asked Summer if she like to dance, and of course she said "yes!" So Bryan got Summer's phone number and the rest as they say "Is history".

Summer and Bryan got engaged officially in February 2000. They had been talking about getting married for a number of weeks. But finally after caring the ring around in his pocket (he still thinks that Summer didn't know what is was) for awhile, waiting for the perfect opportunity to ask her to marry him, he finally found the right time and the right place. After a family dinner at Spaghetti Factory, Bryan took Summer to Temple Square in Salt Lake City, and proposed!

They chose Tuesday, May 30th, 2000, in the Salt Lake Temple to be sealed for time and all eternity.After the ceremony we had lunch at our house and Summer and Bryan went to Park City for the night.

The next day, Wednseday, May 31st was the reception. We cleaned out most of the house to make room for the reception. We served cheesecake, and lemon water at the reception. Kelly Salmond made Summer's wedding cake and a grooms cake for Bryan.

Congratulations Summer and Bryan! Eight years, so much has happened. You both graduated from Weber State, Bryan graduated from Med school at the University of Utah, you have three adorable children, you moved your family to Ohio and bought a house. Wow! So many wonderful memories and experiences. You have been truly blessed!

We love you both very much, and pray for you daily.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! Thank you for all your love and your selfless example! We are so blessed to have you as our Mother and Nana! We love you very much!

Silly Boy...

The other day I turned on the Pixar Shorts DVD. Blaine wasn't too interested until Geri's Game came on. That is the one where the old guy is playing chess with himself. For some reason Blaine thought it was hilarious. I got a video of it, so I hope you enjoy it! Love you all!

Hannah's Blessing Day

Hannah Lee Anderson was given her name and a blessing in the Shaker Heights Ward of the Kirtland Ohio Stake on Sunday, May 4th 2008.

Thank you, Jenny, for the beautiful crocheted blanket you made for Hannah! It looked perfect with her gown! What a special gift from her Aunt Jenny!

Hannah wore a beautiful white gown that I fell in love with 7 years ago, when I was pregnant with Andrew. When I found out I was pregnant with a girl this time, I went to the Ebay store to buy the gown only to find that this one was no longer available. I emailed the gownmaker and asked her if there was any way she would make one for me. She said that the fabric was discontinued, but she might have enough left to make just one more. She did! And Hanah looked like an angel in it!

We were so blessed to have Nana, Papa, and Aunt Danielle there with us! (So sorry about the stomach flu when you got here!)

Thank you for making Hannah's special day even better!
