<br />
to start off 2013 - we have decided to put together <a href="http://misterbandme.blogspot.com/">a brand new blog. </a><br />
mostly because <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/">this cute girl</a> gave me a perfect new title - but also because it can be <i>our</i> blog.. instead of just mine.<br />
<br />
take a gander.<br />
follow along.<br />
<br />
<br />
whatever suits you best :)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
this past weekend i visited <a href="http://cambriamary.blogspot.com/">cami</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(one and only sister)</span> and her adorable little family in san fran. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was so fun<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (and much needed)</span> to get away from my busy schedule and squeeze</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some brand new baby cheeks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- more to come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
soon!</div>

<br />
and i love being able to once again listen to a living prophet remind us of Heavenly Father's love for us.<br />
<i>i love <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2012/10?lang=eng">general conference.</a></i><br />
<br />
but i'm not going to lie to you - i haven't always loved it the way i should have. not that long ago, i didn't prepare for it. i woke up five minutes before it started and listened, but didn't let it sink in.<br />
<br />
but this time was <i>different. </i><br />
this time i really tried to let the words spoken sink deep. i did my best at making a renewed commitment to become better and do better. i know i didn't do my very best at listening and concentrating the whole time, but it felt good just to try! i love that we have a modern prophet and apostles who speak the will of God. i love knowing that we are being taken care of by a loving Father in Heaven.<br />
<br />
i know this! and i love it :)<br />
<br />
favorite talk? it's tough to pick my <i>one</i> favorite - so instead, <a href="https://www.lds.org/broadcasts/article/print/general-relief-society-meeting/2012/09/the-caregiver?lang=eng">here is my favorite</a> from the general relief society broadcast. (missed it? <a href="https://www.lds.org/broadcasts/archive/general-relief-society-meeting/2012/09?lang=eng">go here and read all about it!</a>) this talk was the best reminder for why we have visiting teaching.<br />
<br />
have even more time?<br />
watch this short message - gave me chills.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
glad you are still around. i realize i haven't posted much lately, but i gotta say - life is just too busy to blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes, i said it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>too busy to blog.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for awhile there, i think i would have blogged before more important things. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like homework.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or cooking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or spending precious time with mr. blackham.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but i'm determined to get my priorities more in line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
actually get stuff done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then reward myself with those things i don't necessarily <span id="goog_2123655401"></span><span id="goog_2123655402"></span><i>need</i> to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like watching a favorite tv show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or catching up on pinterest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or blogging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's hard, but i'm determined. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and when i'm determined - you better believe it happens :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but i do sincerely hope all is well in your world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maybe one of these days i'll have time to read all about it!</div>

my father-in-law got released this weekend from being stake president. after nine-and-a-half years of sunday meetings, i think the family <span style="font-size: x-small;">(especially those grandboys)</span> are beyond ecstatic to get more time with him!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i can not begin to express my love for these in-laws of mine. </div>

so lucky to have their examples in our life and marriage.</div>

i have the <i>best </i>job ever. i wake up excited to go in, and leave exhausted - but smiling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
basically my day consists of:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* filing documents</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* answering the phone </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* making cool decorations for the halls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* listening to teacher/parent complaints (and gossip) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* fixing skinned knees with band-aids</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* smiling at the adorable first graders</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* scolding the kind of cute sixth graders</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my favorite part... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* laminating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (pics from last weekend up fairview canyon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">fishing and camping with the blackhams.)</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
this past week has been never-ending:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- commuting an hour to work </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- living out of a suitcase</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- trying to catch up on lost sleep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- squeezing in some him and i time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to say the least, blogging hasn't been at the top of my to do list.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but if you need a good read, <a href="http://highheelsandgrills.blogspot.com/">go here. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm sure you'll find something tasty :)</div>

... we are moving right now and our life is a mess! boxes and boxes everywhere.<br />
<br />
... i abandoned mr. blackham to finish moving us while i attend a conference in logan. hoping he can forgive me one day!<br />
<br />
... choosing to eat healthier is much easier than i thought. the other day i went to wal-mart and left with zero sugar. none. people - that is amazing! maybe this whole thing will work after all :)<br />
<br />

... i chopped my hair off.<span id="goog_1849688108"></span><span id="goog_1849688109"></span> yes, the long hair was fun - but it's time for a change. <br />
<br />
... i am the newest elementary school secretary in utah county! seriously, i cannot even contain my excitement. i remember the days of elementary school when i needed a band-aid or bag of ice and the office ladies were always so nice! now i get to be one... here's to hoping they like me :)<br />
<br />
... life is crazy right now - so sorry for being mia. maybe i'll get back to normal when we aren't living out of boxes!<br />
<br />
happy thursday! <br />

anyone who knows me well knows - <i>i live off sugar. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all kinds really.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but mostly just the processed stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i love me a bag of twizzlers, bowl of ice cream, or plate of cookies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
give me some sour patch straws and i will be your new best friend! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by some, i'm even known as, "sister sugar."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">but</span>...<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (and this is a big but)</span> ... <b>i'm ready to turn over a new leaf.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everyone knows that feeling you get after a long vacation - after eating too much fast food, loads of sugar, mixed with not enough sleep? yes, i'm definitely suffering from this right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so much so that i'll do anything for <i>more energy. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm searching for something that will fix this "permanent hangover feeling." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
starting today, august 13th 2012, <span style="font-size: large;">i am going to live better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more organic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
less processed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
less juice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more exercise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
less lazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more energy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
less tired.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i realize this is a tad vague, but <i>this works for me. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if i start setting specific rules for myself, it becomes more rewarding to break them than follow them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now, i know myself pretty good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and to say i'm going to completely go off all kinds of sugar would be a joke.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>but </b>i am going to <i>choose the healthy choice. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this time, i'm going to succeed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyone have some advice for the beginner??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm going to need it! <br />
<br />
aaannnddd - stick around because i'm going to take you along for my little journey. <br />
coming this week will be: <br />
* what i'm eating<br />
* how i'm trying to make time for running<br />
* and how i'm resisting the sweet stuff.<br />
<br />
maybe you can even "choose the healthy choice" with me :)</div>

don't you think summer brings out the <b>best</b> foods? we sure do.<br />
here's one of our <i>very very</i> favorites - enjoy!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*grape salad* </span><br />
<u>t</u><u>otal time:</u> 10 minutes (tops!)<br />
<u>total servings:</u> about 12-15<br />
<br />
<u>ingredients:</u><br />
* 1 1/2 - 2 bags of grapes <br />
* 8 oz cream cheese (softened)<br />
* 8 oz sour cream<br />
* 1/2 c sugar<br />
* 1/2 c brown sugar (or more.. depending on how much you sprinkle!)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1.</span> wash and stem grapes<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2.</span> mix cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar in large bowl until blended. (it will resemble cottage cheese)<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3.</span> stir in grapes to creamy mixture<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4.</span> sprinkle brown sugar on top... as much as your heart desires!<br />
<br />
vuala - grape goodness! the only danger with this salad is trying to stop eating it...<br />
<br />

i saw this video a few months ago over on <a href="http://aheartfulloffrost.blogspot.com/">this</a> blog, and bawled like a baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which honestly, isn't that shocking. but i figured telling you that might make you want to watch :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<u>three things this video taught me:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. youtube isn't all bad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. moms are overlooked. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(i need to remember to thank my mom for driving me to soccer practice all those years.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. i cannot even wait for the olympics to start <i>this week! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you better believe i'm going to be hooked when gymnastics start... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what event are you most excited for? </div>

today i'm linking up with "<a href="http://www.frommrstomama.com/2012/07/blogger-411-all-you-need-to-know-about.html">from mrs. to mama.</a>" i saw this one - and couldn't pass it up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. how long have you been blogging? and what got you started on blogging? <i>has your blog changed?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4sSljuBj2j6qR87-Ahk2W7g9E5U2Ti4c04TnFHL2i4wyTAHgEYPTNyNRy4sEGnD0n2GeWXQPsDOqPxmcBfcSSbgf7UV7U7XXWIjtj2h73zfCcqyHtlndLffkDRcU8qIIleWjnvTTZ8qM/s1600/LetItSnow-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4sSljuBj2j6qR87-Ahk2W7g9E5U2Ti4c04TnFHL2i4wyTAHgEYPTNyNRy4sEGnD0n2GeWXQPsDOqPxmcBfcSSbgf7UV7U7XXWIjtj2h73zfCcqyHtlndLffkDRcU8qIIleWjnvTTZ8qM/s320/LetItSnow-6.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">a header from 2008 back when my blog was called, "small town girl."</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* when i started blogging, about <i>four years ago</i>, i was just messing around. learning the ins and outs of posting pictures, making the words bigger and smaller, changing my background and header, etc. then it morphed into what it is today - an outlet from my crazy life. something i love sharing with others. my very own life story!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. did you go to college? if so where, and what did you study?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

- tell me about a time when you felt close to me.<br />
- tell me one reason why you love me.<br />
- tell me your top three hollywood crushes.<br />
- tell me about your most embarrassing moment.<br />
- tell me about a time when you felt the spirit.<br />
- tell me about your favorite childhood game.<br />
- tell me about a time when you felt confident.<br />
- tell me about your favorite family member.<br />
- tell me about when you knew the secret of santa clause. <br />
- tell me about your best friend.<br />
- tell me about a time when you were scared.<br />
- tell me why you married me.<br />
- tell me something i didn't know about you.<br />
- tell me about a time when you bonded with a sibling.<br />
- tell me about your favorite holiday.<br />
