Boise Wedding – Mr. and Mrs.
Happy day! The couple was radiant, the ceremony intimate and sweet, and the warmth of family embrace more than enough to keep chilly autumn winds at bay. Welcome to the newest member of the Davis clan! Moi and Mark (with Lady in the background) Moi and Erin Twin Falls Temple First […]
Boise Wedding – Shoshone Falls
As you might have guessed from its name, the town of Twin Falls sits on a bluff above the Snake River very near a number of falls. Some of my relatives said they wanted to stop by Shoshone Falls on the way back to Boise, so I decided to join them. Unfortunately due to the dry […]
Boise Wedding – Guns before girls
Suppose you’ve got a few hours to kill before meeting up with your bride and the photographer for wedding photos. What do you do? If you said “shoot guns!” then you’d fit right in with my family (probably better than I do). When Ammon and I pulled up at Jordan’s parents’ house in Twin Falls […]
Boise Wedding – Tuxes, snails and jovial French chefs
Thursday was the day for last-minute wedding preparations. I needed to pick up my tux, find a box and wrapping paper for my wedding gifts, wrap said gifts, and run some errands for various other family members who were otherwise occupied. Fortunately for me, Jaron volunteered to come along as my special helper. Which means […]
Happy (very early) birthday to me
Two weeks ago Lady called and said she’d sent me a box for my birthday (which isn’t until November). Days passed and no package arrived. Then I got a nastygram from the front dest of my building demanding that I come pick up the package that had been there for, like, ever. (Far be it […]
Teya’s Texts
I called Ashley to chat for a few minutes as I walked to the grocery store today after work. Shortly after we hung up, Ashley sent this text: Teya just told me “You were NOT talking to Uncle Jason! You need to go to his house and tell him sorry for calling him!” Ha! I […]
Rivers and Plantations
For the last day of Heather’s visit to DC, we decided to leave the museums and monuments behind (even if we’d tried, we wouldn’t have been able to see them all) and get out of the city for a while. We started the day with a drive up the Potomac River to see the Great Falls. From […]
Labor Day
Labor Day is one of the better holidays for visiting DC — you get the benefit of a holiday (no commuter traffic, parking regulations aren’t enforced) but it’s late enough in the year that the masses of tourists are gone (yay!). This means we had the place essentially to ourselves. Capitol TourWe started with a tour […]
Sunday Touring
So, day two of Heather’s visit to DC: We started out with 9am church meetings, which consisted of Fast & Testimony Meeting (for which we did not fast) and a debate-heavy Sunday School class regarding the meaning of the word “covenant” (there are, after all, lots of lawyers in this ward). After a little socializing […]
Heather’s here!
Having sent her husband fishing and her children off to the mines their grandparents’, my darling twin sister has arrived in Washington, DC, for an extended Labor Day weekend. It’s her first visit to the nation’s capital, so there’s no end of Things To Do — and believe me, I’ve created quite the itinerary. When I asked her what […]
