So I like this blog address better, since it better describes what this is than my other one. this system is time sensitive, so I'll be better at posting to it from now on, even if it's just a line just to have the appropriate dates. Here is our 2010 Newsletter, which should have gone out in January
Nathan P. Lewis Family Newsletter 2010-the Late Edition
I don't feel like giving a month to month account of our activities, so "let me sum up....no, there is not time...." (Princess Bride is the movie the quote is from, just as a heads up)
I worked at the same job, and Nathan started a service mission at the Distribution Center in Orem. Nothing else really changed, except for my cooking and housekeeping skills, which are improved, although I feel there is much to work on still. Nathan is the best husband in the world, giving me sweet foot and shoulder and arm massages just about whenever I need them.
Most of our time together is spent with Nathan spewing out quotes to just about any situation. I was complaining about how I felt frustrated at some situation and he quoted "Bonkers", which was a cartoon show about a cat. "I'm doomed" "Think positively Bonkers" "ok, I'm positive we're doomed." He always brings in some humorous comment which calms me down, and keeps our lives pretty ok.
Nathan spends lots of time working on music theory exercises or composing various classical and contemporary music pieces. We both really like making lists, so we also fought over control of the computer to work on various organization lists, like address books and financial workbooks for me, and Billy Joel songlists and biological classification for Nathan. Both of us realized how much we loved our lists when our computer went on the fritz for a little while, but eventually our computer worked again, and we have continued in list-making bliss.
We have felt that we have grown closer together as a couple and as a family. We look forward to another year with ourselves and with family. We will currently be looking for a condo to invest in, but otherwise plan on staying at our apartment, as we continue arranging it to make it even more of our home. We look forward to many good times with family and friends and hope all have good health and experiences. We urge all to grow closer to a Heavenly Father who loves all of us, and sent His Son to pay the price of our sins so we could return to our Heavenly Father. We hope all feel the redeeming love of the Savior's exemplary life and sacrifice for all of Heavenly Father's children and look forward, continuing in faith-filled goals and hopes. So, belated as it is, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
Thanks for inviting me to your new blog! This was a wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteI have always been a list maker too. Before I could write, my mom asked me to clean my room. She came in a half an hour later and noticed that I was coloring. She said "I told you to clean your room and you're coloring instead?" I said "I'm making a list of what I need to do to clean my room." I then showed her my list and I had drawn a picture of the toys I needed to clean up, my bed because I needed to make it, etc.
So, I understand the joys of list making!
