Mosiah 2:41

"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."

Merry Christmas to US!

I know, I start all my blogs out with some form of this statement, but I really am pathetic!! It's been an entire year since my last post (which I never actually finished, oops) so I apologize to anyone that gave up on me- or is about to give up on me! But I am going to try for a come back... Why? Because people complain to me about my neglect, I feel guilty about my neglect, and now... drum roll please... I can actually contribute what people like to see in blogs: PICTURES!!! How fabulous is that?! We had a camera- actually two- but I didn't like either of them (not so great picture quality) so I never used them. So, for Christmas 2009, Morgan and I bought ourselves a nice, new toy- one with excellent picture quality when we get it right!
Meet our Nikon Coolpix p90 So, we may have had this for 3 months now, but we still have a lot to learn! We are still trying to figure out which settings are the best for different lighting and locations and such! So, if anyone has any helpful tips, please pass them along, thank you!

This is a picture of our first outing with her. We went to see the lights on Temple Square and it was foggy- bum deal! However, I think the fog added a cool effect! Everything had this amazing glow!
I love this Nativity scene. I think it is just beautiful! And having it in the reflecting pool makes it so much more spectacular! And the fog, Heavenly... Merry Christmas to us!
*Does anyone know why I can't get that area to not act like a link? I started typing and that is what it looked like- I DON'T LIKE IT! And this is one more reason why I don't blog very often... Grr!

Gorgeous pictures! Wow! I know what you are talking about that typing link thing. I think I just have to mess with it, click elsewhere, hit enter, paste something over it? You might try typing what you want int hat beginning spot down lower, then cut it and paste it in...
No real quick trick, sorry. Let ME know, if you find out!
