New Hair

Since some of you (aka my parents) have been asking to see a photo of my new hair cut, here's the best I can do in self-portraitry. I have really enjoyed having short hair again, this time not looking like a boy with a horrible hair cut like my last adventure in super short hair. It's nice to spend 5 minutes doing my hair, which is the amount of time I used to spend putting it into a pony tail......

Giveaway on C Jane's Blog

Dear Everyone Who Reads Our Blog: (which may in fact be very few of you out in internet land)

I wanted to let everyone know about a giveaway that C Jane is hosting for one of my onesies. Here's the Link: http://www.cjaneanswers.com/2010/09/evers-onesie.html I'd love for anyone who wants to enter or tell any of your friends about it. Who doesn't need a onesie?

Thanks.

We are doing well other than being incredibly busy. We just enjoyed a brief visit from John's oldest sister and are missing all of our family members terribly, even those that live close by, but especially those that don't.

Updated Store

Hey everybody. We hope everybody had a great summer. Ours is winding down as school begins again on Monday. We have enjoyed a trip to Texas (someday we might actually post pictures from our trip) and working a lot. I have been very busy making new onesies for my Etsy shop as well as for the Provo Hump Day Market. It has be a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed getting to know some new people. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should join us this Wednesday from 6-9ish for the vendors and then there's an outdoor movie. Here's a picture of my new favorite onesie. Check out my store for other new things as well.

There are 3 Jobs Available to Elves

They can either make shoes at night while the cobbler is sleeping, make cookies in a tree (which is dangerous during the hot season), or make toys. I'm going to focus on the awesomeness that is now being made by the elves that make cookies in a tree. John and I went to the store last week and wandered down the cookie/candy/everything you want to put in your cart but shouldn't aisle and saw these:



Those Elves have done it again. They taste almost exactly like our favorite Samoas that we hoard when the Girl Scouts are selling them in March.

Beware of "frightful" speeds.

Recently, one of my professors shared with us the following quote in regard to the advancements of the 19th century in both England and the US.

“You are welcome to use the school room to debate all proper questions in, but such things as railroads and telegraphs are impossibilities and rank infidelity. There is nothing in the Word of God about them. If God had designated that His intelligent creatures should travel at the frightful speed of 15 miles and hour, He would have foretold it through His holy prophets. It is a device of Satan to lead immortal souls down to Hell.” — President Martin Van Buren, 1830 in Ohio

Today I went 4 times the "frightful" speed that Presiden Van Buren referred to. Disgusting.

After Wednesday, It's All Downhill!

Starting tomorrow and every Wednesday thereafter (indefinitely), Downtown Provo has started what they decided to call the Hump Day Market. I will be selling my things along with my friend Annie. Come visit us. I have no clue what else will be there, other than lots of food, music, and hopefully some awesome things to buy. See you all tomorrow!!

What Happened to 7-11?

No, really, what happened to all of the 7-11's in Utah? I went to go buy John a Slurpee a few weeks ago and drove down to 800 N in Orem to the store on State Street. It was CLOSED. Boarded up, closed. Yesterday we were going to Target on Center Street and I noticed that the 7-11 there closed as well. Anybody in Provo, please tell me that the 7-11's still exist down there. Our closest one without them is in Draper by Ikea, assuming that one is still open as well. Tears of sorrow.
