It's That Time of Year Again

It's that holiday time of year again. Time to stuff ourselves with turkey & stuffing, yummy treats and holiday lights popping up everywhere.

Also, time for holiday cards. What do you say when you're doing the same thing, just a different day? Last year I got the wild idea to make our holiday cards. When you're sending out to over 100 people, that has got to be one of the craziest things. Holidays are complicated enough. Add to that the fact that I put out a monthly newsletter for our business clients and I just about sliced my wrists with the paper I was working with to make it all stop.

So this year, if we have an email address, we may just go paperless! And for those of whom we don't have email for, snail mail may or may not be happening. If you really want to know what we've been up to this year, the blog's the best way.

It's pretty much the same stuff, different year. Business, church, us, no kids, 2 dogs, etc. etc. We'll let you know if there's any new additions or interesting tidbits! Otherwise, it's been a good, limited eventful year!

Hope you've had a good year, eventful or not!

Misinformed

Many of you who bother to read the blog are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (AKA "The Mormons"). But for those of you who are not, you may have heard many things in the news lately that are derogatory or false about the church I belong to. Here is a link to a website that has information about our church as well as the link to the press releases that the church puts out on a regular basis. As always, to my friends of other faiths or non-believers, I'm happy to answer any questions that I can.

Over the years I have heard some STRANGE things about my religion. Most of them have made me giggle because they were so out in left field. Some just leave me scratching my head. Here are a few I'd like to share that struck my funnybone:
Yes, we can drink milk.
Yes, we can eat chocolate.
Yes, we can dance (some of us are not real coordinated, but that's a personal problem, not a religious one).
No, we do not wear special bathing suits to get pregnant.
No, we do not worship seagulls or locusts.
and my personal favorite:
No, we DO NOT physically consumate our marriage on top of the alters in the temple, and DEFINITELY NOT in front of a group of people.
