New Glasses

I got new glasses because I lost my old ones. Here is a picture of Karen and I being glasses buddies!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Hello all,

So, yesterday was my first day back to work. My two appointments cancelled and Dr. Burr was out of town, so I only stayed for a whopping 4 hours. Joe played with Ezra in the morning and me and Ezra enjoyed the afternoon by listening to our drunken neighbor scream along with Pearl Jam and topping it off with maintenance saving us from a near kitchen flood (again). Ah, what a life. Love to all!

Dear Siblings

do you know anyone who wants to date me? if so kindly send them my way, thanks
love,
catherine

Done

Well I finished my legal research and writing take home test. I have to wait until ten o' clock to turn it in though. I can't wait to get rid of the dang thing. I just want to turn it in and not think about it again. I think I did a pretty good job, but grading here seems a bit on the arbitrary side so I am not sure how well I will do. This only counts as 30% of our total grade for this class so it is not as bad as finals are going to be where the three hour exam counts for 100% of your grade. Fun stuff. Anybody have any fun Thanksgiving plans? Karen and I are going up to Bert and Tiina's house to have dinner and then we are going to watch Rattatoullie (we got it about two weeks ago but have been saving it to watch it over thanksgiving). We are pretty excited. I also wish I could find someone with cable so I could watch the BYU Utah game at their house. I guess I will just have to settle for listening to it on KSL.

Mission: FAILED

he wasn't home so i couldn't give him cookies and i would have just left them but i want to see him.....that was the whole point of the cookies so i guess i will just call tomorrow? i don't know. Why do things have to be hard?

James, do you still....

Hello all,

Tonight for some reason I was thinking of James' always needed Friday dance. So do you still do the Friday dance, James? I would assume you have beefed it up for Law School- I'm sure it's even better now. We will all be excited for a presentation when you return!

Love to all.

Story Time

Brush With Death

Bet that title got your attention. Huh? Huh?

So Karen and I went to have dinner with a friend who lives in Maryland on Sunday. We got directions to his house from the internet and you know how sometimes they aren't exactly clear? Well we were on what we thought was the right road, but then it ended and our only option was to turn left or right. So I decided to turn left and then make a U turn and go back. I also decided to call my friend and see if he could clarify where the heck his apartment was. So I get out my trusty cell phone and try to find his number and then dial him up. While the phone is ringing the light turns and I have a green arrow. But I'm still kind of distracted because by now my friend's wife has answered the phone and I haven't met her yet so I'm trying to be polite and still ask her for directions and dive at the same time. Consiquently I am a little slow getting out into the intersection, when suddenly a car that must have been going at least fifty miles an hour totally blows through the intersection and misses us by inches. If I hadn't had been distracted by the cell phone conversation I would have probably been dead, or very seriously injured at the very least. Which would have put a damper on our dinner plans.

So here is a case where talking on a cell phone in the car actually prevented an accident from occuring. Kind of ironic huh?

Ezra's first "vacation"

Hi Siblings,

So, I kind of forgot my password to get on the blog and then James kindly reminded me it is just gmail name and password. Sorry for my absence.

This week has been an adventure! We got word that Joe's Grandma was pretty sick so we left on a spur of the moment trip on Saturday morning. Ezra didn't have the best time during our 12 hour trip to Los Alamos, but we made it okay and he slept through the night that night! Sunday we drove to Amarillo with Ann to see Grandma Parsons. I am glad that we went when we did because she passed away that night, so she got to hear Ezra before she passed away. We left Amarillo on Tuesday and will hang out here at Joe's parents house until Friday when we'll go back for the funeral.

All in all it hasn't been the most ideal baby's first vacation, but at least he will have a picture with his great-grandma and we are glad we came in time to see her. He is definitely getting used to long car rides, so I guess that is good.

Hope everyone is having a fun November- talk to you soon.
