Time for a post!

SOO - It's been about a month since I've posted last, and A LOT has happened - too much to try and explain it all. Instead I will try the list o' events approach:

-Jami WALKED / pretended to graduate (won't get the degree until 3 more classes are completed) in April and Dad, Bud and Karen all came down to watch me pretend and take lots of pictures
-Bud made feet for our large ottoman (how do you spell that??) so now it doesn't stick to the floor (it has velcro all along the bottom of it)
-Karen helped us make an ottoman cover for our large ottoman and Trenton just put it all together so it actually looks like a piece of furniture instead of ... a conversation piece :0]
-Becky had her little baby BOY -- Ethan Keith Swift (check out her blog for pictures)
-Havalah purchased 132 disney movies for 132 dollars from China and said that they WORK! So I will probably purchase 132 disney movies from Havalah for 132 dollars, if she's still interested in my business :0] AND i'm SO STOKED about that
-BJ is leaving on his mission in 3 days - mom, dad, BJ and I all fly down to Provo on Tuesday and he enters the MTC the next day (he's going to Tempe AZ english speaking) He's grown up SO MUCH it's NUTS! I still think of him as my 12 year old little brother, I can't believe he's already 19! And about to leave! I remember when Dan left on his mission, he seemed like he was 19 and old enough , but I guess since BJ's younger than me it just doesn't seem possible. Age is crazy! Time flies, etc etc
-Grandma Little turned 80 - and we got to party all week for her! Aunt Connie and Uncle Kim from Florida came up, as well as grandma's brother and his wife from Utah - the festivities included Seattle/Space Needle, snoqualmie falls, Temple work for Uncle Dave, and spoiling Grandma with lots of cute new outfits. Oh and a photoshoot that was so great! I'll have to post a few of the pictures when we get some.
-I got my last two wisdom teeth out - didn't get anything from the tooth fairy though :0] It was painless and SUPER quick , but unfortunately I had a couple of complications and had to visit the dentist twice on the day following the pulling, but now it's all good. I can actually feel my molars moving a little - as if they are making themselves more comfortable in my mouth (i guess the wisdoms were crowding more than i realized! So it's good they're gone) So I take plenty of advil for the aches that come with teeth moving around, but it will be fanTAStic to be able to keep my semi-straight teeth for the rest of my life :0]

Well, I'm sure i am missing a MILLION things but I'm blanking for now. You kind of have to be in a certain kind of mood to be able to write a blog I've decided.

Oh and I'm currently in Washington, and have been for the past two weeks (trenton was here until this last thursday and i miss him like crazy! BUt G & G Meibos have been great and kept him under their wing - taking him to dinner and having him hang out with them at family gatherings so he won't be too lonely)

ANyway, that's about all I've got for now - TAKE CARE!
