The Lake

Quinn is at Priesthood session right now and I'm a little bored. I've gotten very use to having him around over the last week. I've forgotten how to be by myself. The one upside is that instead of him having the lap top with him, like he usually does, it is with me. So I finally sat
down to do something I should have done a long long time ago. Order my wedding photo prints and album. Part of my package was one of those coffee table book style albums. I never told the photographer which prints I wanted to be included. She told me to take my time and I certainly did. So I thought I better do it before we actually reached the year anniversary that is actually fast approaching.

So I sifted through all of them and picked out my favs and sent off the email to the photographer. I've finally got the ball rolling.

In other news, today was an absolutely gorgeous day in Texas in stark comparison to the horrific thunderstorms we suffered through last night.

We streamed in Conference on the lap top because as Quinn said--I'm a Utah snob. I just can't find it in me to get dressed up and go to the church to watch conference. Especially on Saturday. We plan to do that tomorrow, but today we slummed it in our PJs at home and huddled around the lap top.

During the break, we made the typical mid-session trip to Home Depot. Although, since we aren't in Utah it wasn't ridiculously crowded. We found what we needed for the apartment and came back and hung out with the animals in our lake.
We've recently discovered that there are at least 6 turtles that live in the lake. I just love watching them swim around. Some are quite little.


I know it isn't the best picture, but if you look close you can see two of them swimming in the lake although it is a bit murky due to the storm.

Quinn had fun feeding the ducks.


But the swans rule the lake. As soon as the swans swam over to us, the ducks were afraid to eat the bread. It was crazy to watch. It wasn't like the swans even wanted it, they just wanted to monitor the situation but the ducks wouldn't touch the bread until the swans swam away.

I am sorry you will have to readjust to Quinn being gone. Glad you had a nice day. Looks like the weather was awesome! Wish we were closer so we could enjoy some of these nice days together!

It's all about GC in your jammies eating a "picnic" on the bed. The only way to do it.

Quinn and I used to always dress for church and head over to the Stake Center for the GC telecasts. It is a sign of respect and worship. But since then we get it on cable so I, too, enjoy my 'clay feet' warmied up in slippers as I take notes and listen for Seminary Scripture Mastery references. It's hard for the old dog to totally change.
Keep an eye on Quinn. He loves to swim with turtles!!! I'm serious!
