I love the quote from President Monson: "To catch the real meaning of the spirit of Christmas, we need only drop the last syllable, and it becomes the Spirit of Christ."

Christmas Time on South Beck Ave
I love the quote from President Monson: "To catch the real meaning of the spirit of Christmas, we need only drop the last syllable, and it becomes the Spirit of Christ."
Cornish Pasties
Do you remember going to London England and visiting the Victoria Railway Station?
Do you remember what we ate there....that was absolutely wonderful?
CORNISH PASTIES (pronounced PASS-TEE)
While living in Arizona, I have tried to research interesting restaurants. About 2 years ago I came here with friends and loved it. Tyson's brother in-law Ken recently ate here and told Tyson how great it was (and Tyson got to taste his great leftovers too) So Tyson and I went on a date to the Cornish Pasty Co. for lunch and loved the variety of fillings they had. I had Chicken Alfredo with Marinara and Tyson had The Reuben. It brought memories back to me of eating these awesome creations with some of my family. Yum!
Thanksgiving Day
The Turkey Trot 10k
Tyson and I decided on Sunday that we would run in the Turkey Trot 10 k Race in Mesa. We were so excited for the race and we even wore matching shirts (from a previous race we ran together) and matching sweatbands. We were side by side the whole race and crossed the finish line holding hands. WE GOT FIRST PLACE!!!!!!! (In the hand holding division- said the announcer) 6.2 miles!
