I'm in love

with Elizabeth Taylor. And am so sad that she just passed away last week, just when I was beginning to take note of her. Josh and I love to watch old classics on netflix watch instantly. I just watched Funny Girl while he was gone in California, instead of some dumb romantic PG-13 comedy that I had been sent on a disk (I even requested it- so silly!) I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Funny Girl. It's probably on my list of top ten movies. I laughed, I cried, I sat on the edge of my seat, waiting to see if she would end up with her man. Phew.

Last night we watched a little more of Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor. I say a little bit more because our goal is to get ready for bed at 9:30 pm and after putting the kids down, taking out the trash, doing other various chores and staying up a little with Elizabeth, that leaves us about a half hour to do what we want.

So, we watched a half hour of Cleopatra. And that night I dreamed strange Cleopatra dreams. Amazing really. And this morning, while on my first official day of training for a Memorial Day 10 k *walk/run 2 miles- more walk than run right now* I watched the today show as they highlighted a little of Elizabeth Taylor's Life.

I love her. She is amazing. And that's not even mania talking. It's just me.

Loving beautiful people, Megan

100.8!

Asher, playing the guitar at Elizabeth's piano studio I love how about half my readers are in California so that if I wait until 11 am or 12 pm to post it's only 8 am or 9 am there. Of course that makes it hard when you want to call your Mom at 9 in the morning and it's 6 am there! Oh, well! Also, some people in California have not been posting on their blogs. I won't name any names, Kristen! I don't want my blog to be a woe-is-me blog all the time. But, here I go. We are home again today, missing another field trip- this time for Ethan and Jonah (hopefully I'll get my $ back). Asher was burning up at 6 am when I checked his forehead while he slept and I knew that wasn't good! He woke up with a fever of 100.8- bleh! It was low enough to maybe take him to the babysitters- but 100.8 is still pretty high. Plus, he was clingy and grumpy. Plus, I started having that weird ringing in my ears that caused me to miss all of Church a week and a half ago. I can't e...

Holy Week

This week has been one of wonder and amazement for me. I usually celebrate the Holy week of Easter by remembering what took place each day of the week. This week has been extra special for me. I'm not sure why- maybe it's because we are studying Easter for Come Follow Me for Church or because I have two missionaries out serving who are sacrificing their time and talents to serving the Lord full time and I know what a sacrifice it is for them. They have taken Jesus's name upon their chest and represent Him full time. Or maybe it's because I have another son who is getting ready to serve just like they are- his mission papers just submitted this Tuesday evening. My life seems embedded and imbued with the thought of Jesus Christ and His Love and Sacrifice for me and for us all. It might be too, that my social media accounts- mostly Instagram- has been filled with post after post of Jesus Christ. How on Sunday He entered Jerusalem for the last time under waving palm fronds,...

Abbott Family Cruise, part 2

Catalina and Ensañada were amazing! Such perfect weather. At Catalina we went on a small hike up a small mountain to botanical garden. We didn’t go in- everything was so botanical around us already. We stopped for fish and chips on afterwards and then da along the beach with our toes in the sand. The beach is my happy place!  In Ensañada, I got roped into buying a brightly colored bag right away along with a few other trinkets. We wanted to get some pesos so we asked around and then stepped into a circle K and got some. I practiced my Spanish and the lady there asked me if I was Mexicana. So sweet! It made my day.  We had fish tacos, which was my goal, although we ended paying more for them than we wanted. Josh got some street churros and those were definitely on point! We walked around with our family and popped into a few shops to do some more souvenir shopping and then headed back to the ship. It was a neat day trip all around. We ended the day with a three course sit down ...
