Bright's thoughts

I NOW have air conditioning in my suburban! It had been making noise when we bought it. They told us they had gotten it checked over and over and no one could say what was wrong with it. It took my friend Steve only a few minutes looking at it one day to see there was NO belt! I guess what happened was that the belt was slowly breaking and maybe the pieces were hitting something, making the noise. I guess when the belt finally broke and littered the road is when the A/C finally stopped. A month or more ago we bought the belt but couldn't connect for Steve to put it on. Well yesterday was the big day. I was really hoping it was only the belt. He put it on and the A/C worked! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! About 5 minutes after leaving his house yesterday Bryan and Journey were saying "I'm freezing, turn it off". What a glorious sound! It blows SO cold too. Hmmm, so where can we drive to, what day trip can we make now? What did the pioneers do without air conditioning? T...

When you decide you are finished having kids there is a roller coaster of emotions. You often wonder, am I REALLY done? And there is the occassional baby lust when you see the perfect baby and you want to hold it. Then you wake up and are happy you are past that phase. You see pregnant women and think they look so cute and are saying prayer of thanksgiving that you will never look like that again. I do have to say, I'm not really a cute pregnant woman, I'm a whale. I found myself earlier this month thinking about "If I ever did it again, I think I would want to go with a midwife". WHat was I thinking that for? I wasn't ever going to do it again. All my births went fine, I survived and so did the babies. Lindsey I guess was a toss up there...she could have gone either way at a few points. I guess that is to be expected when the OB thinks she is 7lbs and she is really 9lbs. She was so unexpected, she was a Tongan looking baby. I am wanting to take a Famil...

Dejah is my quiet shy little girl. SHe LOVES to climb and do "challenges" with her daddy. She is so funny...she needed no help to do this in reality. He was there for support. She is awesome! Check out her climb.         AND SHE GETS IT FROM....DAD!

Tonight Scott took me to dinner at Saruku (sp?) for Sushi and Japanese barbeque. We shared the grill area with a set of sisters. After dinner was made the one asked us if we were from around here. We said we lived in Santaquin. She looked at Scott and asked if he ever lived in Orem. Nope...how about Provo. Well having been at the Y for 6yrs yes he HAD lived in Provo. She swore up and down she knew him from somewhere. After a good ten minutes and her gathering Scott was not the person she thought he was she explained what she thought she had remembered him from. About 20yrs ago she was taking care of a apartment complex in Orem. She told us about a young couple who came in and put down a deposit down on a place. They got married and then asked for the deposit back. They were moving out. They were getting an annullment after only about 2wks of marriage. She said Scott looked identical to this guy. She had even leaned to her sister and said, "I rented an apartment to hi...

A friend posted this on Facebook. I am just amazed at what can be done with music. I am not musically inclined but I do know I like music and think it makes the world a better place. I hope you enjoy this. I have never heard a cello played like this, ever. Don't forget to turn off my music at the bottom.

Hope of America is a fifth grade program. They run for two nights to get all the classes to participate. I think there are about 70 schools that participate. The 5th graders sing and dance to patriotic songs. I LOVED it last night. When I think of our wonderful country and how it was founded, I tear up. I felt the spirit there last night and hope that that the students felt how special our country is. We live in a great land.   Here is a blown up view of Lindsey's group. They were in the top white stripe on the right.  

Just when I think I can get excited something changes. So currently the company in Brazil is checking out other options. So the trip was going to be (for Scott) the 23rd and I would come down on the 5th. They requested three weeks (Scott's company) so Scott could do some developing and allow two weeks for the VISA. We are now less than three weeks away from the time they said they wanted him. I am really hoping this still goes through. From what I have been told Cluster is "cheap" compared to competitors. So I have hope. Who better to help with a CLuster Product than Cluster themselves. Seems like a no brainer to me. Scott will be between Sao Paulo and Rio. WAY down South. Too bad it will be WINTER there. :)
