You know what phrase I love to hear people say?
"It is what it is."
Could anything be more truer?
I mean, you could walk around making statements that people might misunderstand, misinterpret, or misconstrue, like "I love lasagna", or "Toxic fumes are bad." But why? Why not stick to what you can truly be sure of, to what is safe?
I just wish there were more phrases like that out there. How many other things can you say that convey such pointless, opinionless declarations of nothingness? Cuz if there is anything we can be sure of, it's that it is what it is. It's not what it isn't, that is for sure. There is no telling if it will be what it was, or if it weren't what it won't be. But what it is is what it is. And don't let the nay sayers come back with an arguement like "Well, that depends on what the meaning of the word IS is." Cuz that is just lame.
So keep on using it, you people who say stuff! But just don't go so far as to start saying things like "I am what I am." Cuz you might not be. You might be what you eat, and can anyone really say with 100% certainty what that is?
Can someone please explain to me how it is possible, that inside this package,
Clearly I am failing at finding time to update this as much as I would like. So let's just do one big Superpost about December and cram everything into it, ok? OK.
And Colin thought it was BORING.

April and Colin |
But he was wrong. Amber, we love you! And we love Colin. So much. We are so glad he is our little boy and we will forever be SO grateful to you.
Then we went to lunch at the India Palace and snapped a picture of the burning remains of the Provo Tabernacle. So sad.
April had told us at the courthouse that the Tabernacle was burning. And then snapped a picture of our reactions.
Harrison turned 4!
Then it was safe for Harrison to come back in.
Then he opened some presents.
Marion gave Harrison the following truck. And her oldest son spent at least 20 minutes strait playing with it and saying "Wow, that's cool!"
I'm so glad you could be there Marion. Though why I am suddenly writing to you I can't say since I am 96% positive you will never read this. But it was fun. And Harrison loved it. He loved playing with your little boys. I think you made his birthday!
And now I am going to spare you all and will put Christmas in a separate post. So this is the end! You made it! Congratulations!
You know that old saying "Be careful what you post online, because you never know when an internet, web-based, online e-zine will take your words and use them to turn you into an instant star"?
Well it's true! Except the star part. No one has even asked for my autograph yet.
cuz I was featured in The Barrel
Pause for effect
So exciting, right?
What? You say you've never heard of it? That's ok. You've probably never heard of Being Awesome, or Keeping Up With the Times either. Don't beat yourself up about it.
It really is exciting! And the magazine is really very cute and you should probably check it out anyway. And they didn't even tell me to say that. They didn't ask me to advertise them in anyway whatsoever, so all of this plugging is purely selfish on my part. Let's hear it for stuff like this!!
