New Phone Love

We have been having the worst problems with Sprint. Constant missed phone calls and texts. To our benefit and relief Sprint changed conditions in our contract which made our current contract null and void. So, since we wouldn't be charged any cancellation fees we opted to change our phone service back over to Verizon, who I must say I love!!!

Mark got a hold of the corporate rep who cut us an incredible deal. Only one hundred dollars later we now have 2 new chocolate touches and 2 new droid phones. I was really hesitant about getting a phone with a data plan. First of all, it is more expensive. Second, I really didn't see that I had a need for one, that is, until Mark started explaining some of the benefits to having such a phone. Like syncing my ever increasing calendar. With as crazy as life is I started seeing a benefit to that one feature alone. Simplification is always my mantra and Mark promised simplification with a phone that has a data plan. So....I went for it!

Can I just say...WOW!!! I am so excited about my new phone I can hardly stand it. I have this application that keeps track of my Weight Watchers points. It even scans barcodes, recognizes the item and enters it into my food diary. I can sync my calendar with my Google calendar and even set appointments from my phone. Not only can I sync my calendar, but I can sync the rest of my family's calendar's too! I have an app that let's me listen to Pandora in my car. No more junky music on a radio that barely picks up signal, I can listen to my choice of music and not have to scan the stations.

Honestly, I have only touched the surface. This phone is absolutely amazing! I think, as funny as this is to say, this one simple change has impacted my life for the better....for-e-ver, for-e-ver, for-e-ver!

(Hee hee hee.)

I will covet your phone for-e-ver until I get one too! Next time I'm at the store and I've forgotten my WW calculator I'm calling you!

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.

day one.down for the count.

So in my typical fashion, I put a plan into action and then immediately have to deal with the changing of said plan. I went to bed dizzy last night hoping it was nothing and that it would pass as I slept. No such luck, this morning I got up and didn't stay up. So, three movies later I sit here on the couch with the best laid plans laid to rest. I was going to get up early, make breakfast, get dressed before 10, and send my honey off with a kiss and looks of devotion. Instead...Mark got up and I slept in, finally got up in time to stumble down the stairs, see the first set of kids off to school, and plant myself on the couch for the rest of the day. Mark gave me a kiss on his way out the door and instead of looks of devotion I had eyes welling with tears. Great day huh? Luckily I don't have any plans for today. Tomorrow isn't too bad, I don't have many responsibilities, but Friday I have an important photo shoot. This dizzy thing better go away!!!
