Happy Birthday!

Yesterday Grandpa Hansen turned 77 years young!

I got a Job!

It's just part time - and it is something I love to do - so I honestly wonder if I can even call it work. Just Bee Scrappin' is the scrapbook store here in Brigham City, and I am going to be starting there on Monday!




I only work when Tyson is home to watch Thomas, and the hours work perfectly with Tyson's schedule! I am so excited! The owner even said I can design Layouts to see if she can use them for a page kit that she wants to start in the next month or so!!! That is an incredible oppertunity.

I have always been more of a hermit scrapper - I like my own style (I am still scrapping in 8/12 X 11 page format - which is concidered old fashioned - but I prefer it). I guess I will be reaching out of my little comfort zone - but I am not worried one bit about it - because I know I can do it!

It is just going to take TONS of resistant willpower to not want to buy everything I see in the store.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2008.

I am a list maker. This (so far) is my list of things to do in 2008:

eat better
exercise more
go to the temple more often
take Thomas swimming more
make sure to spend time with family more (Tom and Lori, and Rochelle - this means you)
save $$$$$$ for a house
make and send out cards (expect a homemade card from me on your birthday)
scrap more
go to a SJ crop

I sure miss Calvin and Hobbs

These are going around on the e-mail, but I like 'em so much I am putting them here.


"that's enough TV, go play outside."
"I don't want to go outside!"
"Hmph"


"Where are my glasses? I thought they were right here."
"Hmm, I put them down... I went to get my book... I told Calvin to shovel the walk..."
"Where could they be?"


"Calvin, I'm late for work"


"Eggplant casserole tonight?"
"Yes, Why?"








"On the other hand, the neighbors keep planting nice big trees next to us."


"Why does he have a hot water bottle on his head?"
"He's committing suicide."


"I don't think the schools assign enough homework."


"You have to admit it's slowed down the traffic on our road."


"Mom and Dad don't value hard work and origianlity as much as they say they do."


"Snow Sharks?"
"That guys a goner."





"First she says Go out. Now she says come in."

Joseph

Matt 1:19-24
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a adream, saying, Joseph, thou son of bDavid, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the cHoly Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

I have been thinking of Joseph—that strong, silent, almost unknown man who must have been more worthy than any other mortal man to be the guiding foster father of the living Son of God. It was Joseph selected from among all men who would teach Jesus to work. It was Joseph who taught him the books of the Law. It was Joseph who, in the seclusion of the shop, helped him begin to understand who he was and ultimately what he was to become.

Joseph was the Christ child’s guardian. Though a humble carpenter, Joseph was of royal blood (see Matt. 1). If the kingdom of Judah had not been ruled by the Romans when Jesus was born, Joseph would have been king and Jesus would have inherited the throne—literally becoming King of the Jews (see Jesus the Christ, 87).

Mary Did You Know?

Thank You Big Brother!

My big brother got our computer back up and running after a nasty virus decided to take it over. The computer is running for now, but unfortunately Norton has already detected the virus still, but at least this time, was able to deal with it.
Again, Thank You Chris! We owe you BIG TIME!
(isn't it funny how reliant we can be to our computers - and especially the internet? I have felt so very lost with out being able to "look-up" whatever I want on a whim, whether it be a recipe, or how to spell a word that just looked funny when I wrote it on paper.)
