Hey Four Eyes!

Dan needed to fill a new prescription for his glasses. I asked him if he wanted to change his frames again or go with the same he had before. He elected for new frames. In the spirit of March Madness, and in no particular order, here are the final four...(Don't let his facial expressions affect your vote he was just goofing off.)

Return of the Prodigal Blogger

I've decided that I NEED to get some catching up done here so I swiped the computer from Dan after dinner and will do my best to get as much posted as I can tonight. So...

Do do Do do Do do Do Dooooooo (think Twilight Zone)

It's fall 2011. Date night and the camera came along to document the fun:

 

 

We know you are jealous of all our date night creativity, it's ok, you can admit it. :)

The Boise Temple is closed for remodeling so we have to travel to the Twin Falls Temple for awhile. We went for the first time to our temporary temple in October.

The autumn colors in our neighborhood were gorgeous. Every time I'd drive home from work I'd think about taking picture. Finally, I did. 2-3 days later, the leaves had all dropped off the trees.

Amanda & Jake came over for a quick weekend visit in October and a few days after they left Dan & I watched Harry Potter 7 Part 2 for the 2nd time, but this time in 3D:

Amanda was reading the photo book she made for Sid to Jake. Wish I'd caught it on video but by the time I had that thought, she was finished.

The Horrocks Family Thanksgiving gathering was in Boise this year. Andy & Angela hosted and we gathered for good food, puzzles, visiting, games, new released movies, and Black Friday shopping. We began (yes, I participated this year for my first time ever) at midnight and around 3:00 AM Amanda was finished for the night. I was spent sooner but since I was driving she and Jake, I did my best to not be a wet rag to their adventure. Also, while Amanda was with us, we celebrated her 26th birthday. A very festive, fun, and family-filled weekend!

Lots more to come but this is a good start for tonight. So until the prodigal blogger returns...

He's Baaaaaaakkkkkkkkk!!!!!

Thursday, January 19, 2012 we welcomed home Elder Sidney Robert Horrocks from his faithful and honorable mission in the South Dakota Rapid City Mission.

WELCOME HOME ELDER SID!!!!!!

(Details of these and other adventures coming soon.)

Signed, Sealed, Delivered...She's His!

They've gone and done it!

INTRODUCING MR. AND MRS. CHRISTENSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

V.I.P.s

I created this to put up at work and I often find myself looking at it during the day. It's fun to take a moment and let the memories and feelings flow while I ponder on these very important people.

No, Jake isn't smoking, it's a Tootsie Roll...I promise

Still Not Dead

Ok, so clipping right along with our list. We've managed to complete all the Thanksgiving things, and even throw in some inaugural Black Friday Shopping for me (which has me saying shopping for some people is actually finished and just needs to be wrapped and shipped; yea for Black Friday and on-line shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

HOWEVER....

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday after Thanksgiving I was down with the cold that's going around and knocking everyone out for several days. It's been almost a week and I'm doing better but not my normal better for this long after a cold hits.

On top of the personal stuff going on more is added to my plate during the work hours; holiday luncheon (two days and two nights--gotta provide for the shift workers too), a blood drive, a food & toy drive, plus whatever other projects creep up on me before the Holidays are over.

Additionally, Dan has the 23-26 off of work. I have just the 24th & 25th (odd I know but that's how it is). We're now contemplating the idea of me taking of the 23rd & 26th off so we can go visit family for Christmas.

Nature has many who snuggle down and hibernate for winter, I'm thinking that's top on my list for Spring this year!
