New Chaela Video on my Blog

Hey family! If you want to see a new video of Chaela, it's on my blog here.

The last change of plans! For now...

Hey guys! So I know I told you all but Jacob and I have officially made our reservation at the Rexburg temple! We are getting sealed at 10AM Saturday the 22nd of November!!! Jacob moves in to our place in about two weeks and then it's not that much longer!!! Now I just have to figure out when and where to do everything else! Mom and dad, you should figure out your plans to get out here soon so I can figure out everything! I miss you guys! Dad I hope you can make it! You wouldn't want to miss the wedding of your favorite daughter would you??? Haha, only kidding (not really though...). Anyways- I miss you all and love you all and can't wait to see you guys!!!

Hey Family!
How is everyone?
I spent yesterday afternoon canning tomatos from my garden! I got 17 quarts! I told my friend Lisa that I had a lot of tomatos just sitting on the vine and she said well, let's can them. So she brought her stuff for canning over. I don't think she thought I meant that many! It took us 6 hours, definitely a job for two. I have one jar left over, I think I will fill it with m&ms.

Kristin and Jacob

So, I think by now everyone has heard about Kristin and Jacob. They postponed their wedding until December. I don't know the details except they felt that they needed a little more time to get to know each other.
The tentative date for their wedding is now December 20th here in Ohio. That could change as it is still 4 months away. I think it depends on finals and a few other things. I don't think they are going to make any solid plans until October.
Doug went ahead and took Lindsay out to Utah for school then met up with Wayne and Dickie to go fishing. You know now that I think about it he never says if they are catching any thing. Hmmm.... are they really fishing? And for what?
It has definitely been a quiet week out here I don't think I am ready for Jordan to graduate and go away next year. We talked to his percussion teacher and got some recommendations for colleges for Jordan. He wants to stay in the Big Ten. He is thinking about the 2 Michigans and Penn State and Illinois. Okay Doug and I are encouraging him to apply at Illinois.
There is one perk to being alone, I get to make what I want to eat for dinner. Jordan doesn't like chicken so I don't get to make it that often and Doug doesn't like green peas so I have pretty much given up on them also. So tonight I made oven fried chicken legs and mashed potatoes and green peas mmmm....
So I guess you can tell I am a little bored since I am writing about food.
I also made a pumpkin pie for my birthday! Mmmmm..... If Jordan doesn't get home soon I may eat the whole thing! (at least I didn't take a picture of this one)

Fall

So, I've baked an apple pie, worn my jeans two days in a row, is it fall? No, not yet, these last three days have been more hot and humid than any we have had all summer! I think it ends on Sunday though and fall starts then.
I think the spiders think it is fall also, there was one in my basement looking at me so I killed it! He should have stayed outside!
When I can figure out where Jordan put my pictures, I will put one on of my pie it is a beautiful work of art! And it tasted good too!
