Things I am Grateful For!



I wanted to just share with you the top 5 things I am most grateful for......

1. MY Savior Jesus Christ and his atonement for me.

2. My husband

3. My new electric blanket (with the window open I can stay warm!)

4. My job! It has its ups and downs but at least I have one!

5. Living in a free country



What are you thankful for?

Juli's Creations

So, in my spare time, when I should be updating my blog- I have been sewing and being crafty.

I have sewn some skirts for Olivia. She hates pants, so this is our only option. She really likes the tan/pink one, but hates the read one! What a poop.

She does love the nightgown I made for her during the Holidays. I spent almost an entire day at my sister, Jamie's house. She helped me through the entire process. I had never made anything with sleeves before! What a fun time and I learned a great skill.

Another thing is kind of scrap booking- but pictures, not pages for a book!

I bought this picture frame at a thrift store about a month ago, not sure what to use it for. I decided to make it into a wall hanging for my mom.

I painted the frame black, and ordered some vinyl lettering (Thanks Erin for Missy's number- Thanks Missy for such a quick turn-around!)- a quote that my mom has had on her fridge for a year- saying that she would love it on her wall. I got some help from Ruth P- (I love you Ruth) and scrapbook papered the background. It turned out awesome! What do you think?

After (the pic isn't the greatest. The quote says: Families- make your memories, determine your future, love you no matter who you are")

As 2008 ends, 2009 Begins

Hello everyone,
Welcome to 2009. I am happy that you survived the '08 Holiday season. Things were fun here at the Weber home. Mike and I snuck out to the movies, twice! We saw Australia and Yes Man, both were great!
Christmas was fun and pretty normal. I will put together a slide show in the next few days or so. Big Christmas news- Jere and Alisa are expecting baby number 2! That makes 3 new babies for this year. My niece Kerry is due any day, that will make 4 for Kolton and Kerry. I have another nephew- Caleb and his wife, Brittany are expecting in the spring- 2009 will be full of new life!
New Year's was great. We joined Jere and Alisa at a ward party. Bob and Dani came too! It was fun, except I fell on my knees playing broom hockey and now I have a really cool bruise. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays with the ones you love!

Things I am looking forward to in 2009-
1. More Great SV Lady Bobcat basketball (and hopefully another state title) Go Amy!
2. A Master's degree
3. another Young Women's Camp
4. The movie New Moon
5. Camping
6. Mike's annual trip to Phoenix or maybe a fishing trip with his dad
7. Family vacation???

I am not dead- just busy

Hello, Hello!
I have missed you all. I have been so busy so I apologize for not posting. So let me re-cap the last few months.
First- Halloween was tons of fun. Mike and I went to an adult murder mystery party, thrown by the Schow's- tons of fun. Trick-or-treating was good. Livy was a witch and Will, The Hulk.
I started a really hard class, business financing! Wow- it was a killer but I survived and even passed with a B+. Go me!!!
I took a 5 day vacation with my sisters, Jennette and Janell and my cousins, Becca and Kirstin to Gatlinburg Tennessee! It was fun. Lots of shopping. We went to two dinner shows, Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, and to a Murder Mystery dinner show (the theme was American Idle Christmas Special). I was chosen as a contestant. I came in 2nd. You'll have to call me to find out how.
Thanksgiving was great! Same old same old.
In Young Women- we just had our Young Women in Excellence program and it was amazing! The girls were fantastic! I love them so much and so does our Heavenly Fathers. Thanks to Erin, Ruth, Chelese and Barb for all their hard work and commitment to our lovely young ladies.
That's all for now....
no wait! I forgot to tell you about the movie Twilight! It was great. Was it as good as the book- no way! but enjoyable still the same.

Spicy Blogs? - Mine is the El Sol of Blogs

So, as I read the blogs of others I hear music, see pictures neatly aligned, great back grounds, videos and much more. Mine..... nothing. It is so boring. It is bland and plain, over and over!
So I am calling out to all you pro-bloggers for some training. How do I make my blog fancy and spiced up???
Thanks friends- I know you are going to help.


On a different note- dinner was great tonight. I picked up Papa John's pizza. My favorite
Olivia is sick and it breaks my heart to see her under the weather.
YW tonight was great. What an amazing group of girls. They tied two baby quilts in just over an hour! Awesome.

Night~

Thoughtful Question

At dinner yesterday, my father-in-law commented on a single adult something or other, next weekend in Salt Lake, for the church. He is single and my sisters are single as well. Mike then made a comment to me and it really got me thinking. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the comment.

"We are looking for a custom fit in an off-the-rack world."

How often to we wait for everything to be perfect? For the stars to align before we make a choice, a change or a decision? The comment was originally made in the context of finding a companion, but what else does this crazy comment apply to.?
If we are waiting for the perfect fit, is there no faith? Have we forgotten that alterations can be made in time? Or that we might change ourselves to fit the change?
Thoughts anyone?

Happy Monday

BTW- Olivia is offically without her two front teeth. Tomorrow is picture day- and I guess that is better than the second hanging crooked! LOL :)
