The things that I have been wanting to write about, but haven't had the time to refine. I still think they deserve to be said, though, so here it comes, in unprocessed chunks:

President Uchtdorf came down for a conference a couple of weeks ago, and we got to talk with him a bit. He has an iPhone. His wife is so hilarious, and such a bright personality.

We got an article published in the ensign, sort of! They bought the copyrights to a piece we wrote like a year ago, but don't know when they can fit it in the magazine. So keep an eye out!

I had a 32 oz. chocolate shake the other day at Whatabarfer. Never again...

We booked tickets to Panama for our anniversary, woot woot! No matter how many economics courses I take, I don't think I will ever understand airline prices. Cost of flying roundtrip from Houston to Panama on Continental: $800. Cost of flying roundtrip from San Antonio to Panama on continental, connecting through Houston on the same days on the same flight: $380. wth?

Working in the family history center I found names on my dad's line in Spain back to about 1700. Actually, the church did most of the work - it's pretty amazing. I'm planning on making a family history book for when we go down there. Also, a guy came in one day who wasn't a member but his ancestors were. He showed me a family heirloom he had - a ticket to the dedication services at the Salt Lake Temple! It was neat. I helped him find his line back to like 1600 in Sweden. He was so grateful because he had been looking for that info for a long time.

Finally, our garden is growing. We tried square foot gardening this fall, which I would totally recommend if anyone has at least a patio. It's good stuff.
