La Dee Freaking Daa

It's report card season. This is me:

And I want to punch this lady in the face:
Ok not really. But, the last thing I need is dessert (I wish I had time to hit the pavement more)! The end of this week wraps up 3 weeks of testing, 48 Parent Teacher Conferences, 48 report cards, and hopefully whatever nasty sickness is going around our school. Swine Flu? Hope not!

But honestly, it is very nice to be busy...

Solid

This weekend Jake and I spent 6 hours curled up all comfy on the couch to watch Conference. We were so lucky to attend another 2 hours at the Sunday AM session (thanks for the tickets Jordan!!) It was a cold morning but well worth it!

The sea of umbrellas on a brisk Sunday morning!
Us bright eyed and bushy tailed! (actually we woke up pretty early so we weren't AWAKE until we hit the freezing weather)

Free hugs anyone? Pretty much I love the little guy in the center of the picture...He really wanted a hug!

About 4 1/2 years ago, I would have said "why in the world would ANYONE spend 8 hours on the couch, taking up their entire weekend to watch "LDS Conference?" My answer to myself would be:

"Kim. Look at your life in the 4 1/2 years to come. Look how your heart burns with the knowledge of that church. Look how blissful you are to be married to this guy Jake. Kim you got married in the temple, isn't that something? Bet you might be shocked to hear that now, but you better believe it. Ya, crazy huh. That temple will give you answers to lots questions in your life that you may not otherwise find the answers to. Look how overfilled with joy you are to know your purpose here in this life. Kim, you will have a miscarriage...and somehow through all the nasty, deep mess of devastation and crushing sadness, you will come to understand so much more about the Lord and his son, and guess what: because of that you will pull through and in 4 weeks you will be okay! Kim. Trust me on this. 'That' church is true."

Not gonna lie. Becoming a member of 'that' church was the last thing I thought would ever happen in my life! But as you can see, I think I am okay with it now :-)

I think I speak for everyone who watched Holland's talk..SOLID. That man can deliver. By the end my eyes were wide and I was taken back by his power! I just said "wow."

Huskies/Bengals Game

One of Jake's Young Men plays on Brighton's Varsity football team, so we decided to head out and cheer him on last night. Of course with me being a BENGAL and Jake being a HUSKIE we chose that game to attend! It was so much fun! Jake and I both love the "feeling" of fall rolling in....and football games are on the list of reasons.

*Final score: Brighton 49 Hillcrest 10 ....GO BENGALS!

My Huskie...Who Let the Dogs Out!? PS Jake tried to make me sit on the Hillcrest side...It felt so wrong to me! So he conceded and we finally headed over to the RIGHT side and sat with the Brighton fans.

You can see with our sidelines packed and counting the players on the field, Brighton had about 100 players total...Hillcrest had no more than 30...what's up with that Hillcrest?
Remember the student section!? Never sitting down, socializing, flirting...so fun.
Pretty sure I never wore anything like this to a game! But she looked cute!
Mr. Kyle Whittingham (Head coach of U of U football) and his wife showed up at the game, his son plays for Brighton. I don't know why that pic is so blurry!
Another memory of high school games: congregating behind the stands to "hang out." Not even watching the game!
I had to compare the fan turn-out. Brighton is above, Hillcrest below. But by the end of the game, Brighton had those bleachers pretty full!!

Tried 3 times to get a good picture of us...
But ended up with this :-)
Oh and this week I got a little surprise from 2 Kindergarten moms...They somehow heard what happened and brought me these beautiful flowers!
