Beliefs

So I’m trying to format the blog so it looks a little prettier and a little more me.  Okay, more me than pretty — but isn’t Navajo lake gorgeous?  I think so.

One of the things I wanted to do was to have categories up near the top and I knew what I’d want in the categories but hadn’t thought of what to title them.  Recipes, that’s easy.  Adventures for our little day trips and other adventures, okay.  Projects for things that aren’t quite an adventure.  Photoblog because I really am trying to get out shooting more.  Life for miscellaneous things.  Then came the last category.  Religion didn’t quite fit, I thought of naming it something a little cuter like Sunday but it’s not a one day a week gig for me — it’s how I try to be every day and just how I live my life.  Church didn’t fit either.  It’s not likely that I’m going to sharing doctrine I’ll be sharing my beliefs.  Aha!  Beliefs.  It is broader than gospel doctrine and definitely encompasses me starting to believe in myself, in others, in the ability of an evening of softball to turn my mood around.  Beliefs it is.

It’s Fall!

And fall means Bonnie’s block party.  This year the ward ended up scheduling the ward party the same day/time as Bonnie had worked out for the block party so they’re combined.

I’m working {maybe}  I hope that I can end up splitting the shift so I can go, something about working as much as I have been leads to an even smaller social life than I had and with so few opportunities I hate to miss one.  Especially one as fun as this is.

I have lemon bars in the oven and I figure it’s a win-win situation.  Either I am on call and get to go to the party or I’m working and I end up with a pan of lemon bars.

Soon the leaves will start turning and there will be more than a hint of fall in the air.  As much as I’d like to hike Kanarra before it’s too cold to go through the water (yeah, that’s about now — I’m kind of wimpy) I don’t see when it’s going to be looking at my work schedule.  I might just have to go without the kids or be satisfied with Red Cliffs later on.  Red Cliffs would be great if I get completely cleared from ortho and can go rappelling.

***Update:  I’m working, hope everyone has a great time at the party***
