Kevin and Jarom

Kevin is having a lot of sucess teaching in Chile.  He emailed me the other day and told me that they had another quake the other day but it didn't build up or last very long.  He said the Chileans are used to it, but I think it's hard to handle for him since he said that. 

  My other nephew Jarom and his wife Sara had a new baby boy named Seth.

Sugar Crash

No ponchos can be found in my extra womanly size in the town of Farmington.  For real. 
Well I ended up getting 80 needles that are crapedy crap for my allergies.  Well my big bag o needles wasn't such a good deal from Sam's Club was it?  So my super town trip ended up with my friend kept asking me if I was okay cauz i started having an asthma/allergy thing. (It woulda helped if i hadn't eaten a couple of things I was allergic to and i had given myself my allergy shots in the last while.)  So i bought some new antihistamine, 80 great needless needles, and had a puff of albuterol.  Maybe I shoulda stayed and moved my family up from survival laundry to 2 days prepared.  It all seemed great in theory, but as you know now, I can't handle my chocolate.

I need some snacky snacks

Who's hungry?  I am.  Devin is getting close to submitting his mission papers.  i need to quit dragging my feet and get that boy to his physical.  i gotta go teach my first discussion tonight-she cancelled last week.  Gotta look for some kind of snackedy snacks.  I'm having a random day and don't wanna do any housework,but since we're only doing survival laundy, i should do towels at least, maybe underwear.  Sorry, I'm having a mormon hangover from Easter.  Too much chocolate and now ima draggin.  gotta go scavenge and stare at the washer.    Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, just got a phone call with a better offer!  Goodbye, washer and dryer, I'm going to town.  Maybe i'll find a super cool poncho like i used to have in this pic.  Wish me luck.  I used to look like a super hero when i'd run with it flappin behind me.  Ponchos and snacks are fun.

Kevin's earthquake

Kevin, I found out was prepared by his mission president who listened to promptings 2 weeks before.  It's an amazing story if you want me to email it to you.  Needless to say, because of the preparation, Kevin and his companion knew they had to turn off the gas after the quake.  So they did and it was already leaking.  I didn't even think about the gas, but one spark, or sleeping with the fumes can be instant deadlyness.  I'm attaching a picture taken on March 1st, after the quake.  Kevin is wearing a red tie five rows back.

Kevin and the earthquake

There was an 8.0 earthquake in Chile last night/this morning. Kevin (my nephew on a mission there) is in Santiago-200 miles away from the epicenter by Concepcion. It was about 7.5 in Santiago. His misssion president's wife blogged this morning and said that all of her missionaries were safe and accounted for. The tsunami caused by the quake is heading to Hawaii. I hope all our friends there will be okay. They have no power, internet, or land line phones right now in Santiago, but I saw some twitters from MSNBC this morning from Santiago. Hopefully the aftershocks won't be too bad. He emailed me this week saying they were waiting for this earthquake-the mission president also brought them bottled water and they had to have their back packs ready with essentials. Their area was pretty new and built to earthquake code from what I could tell from the newer construction (Chile has been building to earthquake code since the 1920's.)

I loved the movie Julie and Julia. I can't wait to get my hands on Julia Child's cookbooks. I really need to know how to make real chocolate mousse. I wonder if I can make Beef Borg. without alcohol? Any substitutions-hmmm.

BYU Game

BYU barely won against New Mexico. It was kind of a ho hum experience. No one taunted us, approached us, breathed the deathly tailgate breath on us...nothing. I think with the girls soccer incident and the head football coach punching his assistant coach, they(NM fans) were trying to redeem themselves. The only real excitement is when the NM football players ran on the field and David yelled, "Bring on the girls soccer team!" We came home to see if we were filmed in any way and we were and my son Devin gave me a lovely compliment on my appearance. He said with my coat on, I looked like a Sith Lord. thanks Devin love ya.
