Correction...

I apologize, but my Christmas movie list has been irking me since I posted it. I neglected one of my all-time favorites, "Christmas Vacation." I'm gonna have to scrub "Elf" from the list and add the Griswolds.

Lindsay's First Try

I am trying to blog for the first time! Yay! This is a photo of my little Brynn. So cute, don't you agree?

Top 5 Christmas Movies

This is a tough one. Try to narrow down all the great Christmas movies to just five. But my clear shot is the one I loved most when I was a kid: "A Christmas Story." So many quotable lines ("Not a finger!") and such a classic feel. Love it! My Christmas is not complete unless I watch each of these (and more).

  1. A Christmas Story
  2. White Christmas
  3. It's a Wonderful Life
  4. Home Alone 1 and 2
  5. Christmas Vacation (had to remove Elf from the list)

100 Club at ESA

Keller invited me to join him at the Jazz game the other night. The great part about it--we got some sweet 100 Club tickets that were $900 each! Holy crap! We ate up on the upper floor of the arena and then sat on the front row right next to the Jazz bench. This was a totally different experience for watching the game. Any other seat will never be the same. The game was not the most exciting (we destroyed), but the whole experience was a blast! I was surprised to be sitting next to Brandon Blaser of "Buttercream Gang" fame. It was fun to see him.

SPOOK!

We got ourselves a dog! Never thought our family would go to this, but we are excited and we think he's a great addition to our family. We're all still getting used to each other, but he has been great so far. His name is Spook and he's a 6 year old italian greyhound. He's already potty trained and has been really good with our kids. His biggest challenge is humping just about everyone, and his sleeping at night. We'll give him time.

Happy Thanksgiving

Had the old feed this year with Lindsay's family. Everyone but the Hadleys and Purdies were able able to come. I made some crostini breads with goat cheese and a roasted red pepper pesto. Yummy! I also had some crostini with goat cheese and a cranberry-jalapeno jam. All the food that day was delicious. I am thankful that the Lord continually watches over me and my family, despite the fact that I am far from perfect. I am so grateful for my family and all they provide for me.

Ah, Those Jazz!

You really can't get much better than Deron Williams! The man is a clutch shooter and can get your blood pumping in ways that were only felt on prom night. It has been a blast to watch our beloved Jazz have such a great road trip! "The Comeback Kids" they have been hailed. All four games on the road ended in a win that was a comeback from behind. My favorite moments were Paul Millsap's career night against the Heat and Williams 0.08 second shot that put the Jazz over the top of the Bobcats! Sadly, their run ended last night against the Thunder. They just couldn't be stopped. Although, I am excited about our team's prospects this year!

A Sorry Excuse For Blogging

Sorry, folks, but I kind of suck at this blogging thing. My intentions were great and I am still really interested in doing this, but I just need to find the time and desire to get some posts going. Also, an audience. I need to send the word out to family and friends that I am doing this--maybe that will inspire me to get more going. Hope to get this going...
