Time to alert the public

So, I'd say the cuteness factor is coming along nicely thanks to this amazing thing called the internet.

Seriously, it's miraculous. You should try it sometime.

It may not be the cutest blog ever, but I'm pretty proud of myself, especially since I have almost no crafty or creative inclination. This is probably the craftiest thing I've done of my own free will since I last scrapbooked. Which was about 6 years ago. Hmm.

Just one more thing to be done before my blog is ready to be announced on facebook. Pictures! :)

A week ago,

my family was together for the first time

since Adam left on

his mission, and the last time until Brandon returns. Crazy. Of course we took family pictures - so here are a few of the best

Adam kept whining ever time Sister Barton (the photographer) told us to get close and hug. I know what your thinking, "Oh, he just got off of his mission. He's just not used to it."

Nope. That's just the way he is. He claims that we aren't a touchy feely family, so why would we pretend to be in pictures. I tried to explain to him that when people take pictures together, they usually try to act like they like eachother. Apparently he feels that people should keep their arms to the side and look as awkward as possible in pictures. Haha. I'm so glad he's home. :)

One last pic of me and my best friend, Diane. Love her so much!
