Painted Nails

Tonights post is somewhat different. Today my sweet little sister offered to paint my toes and finger nails. Let me tell you, I never paint my nails. I am not at all good at it. So I took her up on the offer and picked a dark sparkly color, not sure if I would like it. Tada! I loved it. I suddenly had the desire to actually do my hair. I was feeling pretty frumpy this morning and It was amazing how a few little short painted nails changed my desire to spend a little more time on myself. So, my advice to anyone who is feeling less than fantastic. (Which pretty much sums up alot of mormon women.) Paint your nails. OR have someone do it for you. It is amazing what a difference this little thing will do for you. I feel very girlie and trendy even at 10 oclock this evening. I am enjoying watching my pretty fingers type. I know it sounds silly. But it did the trick.

Nauvoo!!!!

We made it to Nauvoo people. And we didn't give Jeff's parents a heart attack by suprising them. We love it here. The weather is freezing and rainy but we are having so much fun. Love to you all. Plus, I am getting homework done for my class! Ta DA!!

Somewhere in Nebraska

Tonight I am giving a little update as to our trip. We are on our way to Nauvoo Illinois. We are of course driving. We left little Marysa home as she doesn't like to travel long distances. We are having fun. Lots of time spent in the car. Nine hours the first day and nine hours today. They are being good sports. Aside from Kenna wanting a souveneir everywhere we go and driving through blizzards, we are enjoying the different scenery. Today I saw a sign for The Pony Express orginal Station. So, we took a little detour and Jeff made the kids get out of the car so I could take a photo. I loved it. They froze. It was snowing of course. SO FUN!!! I will update more. I did find a workout room at our last hotel. 30 minutes was all I could do. So not much weight loss on this trip, but lots of eating! FUN FUN FUN. Ok, The blog isnt letting me upload pictures, So i will try again later. We were talking earlier about if Jeff's mom would be upset that we didn't bring Rysa to visit, but Nicole assured all of us that her grandma wouldn't even notice because she loves Nicole so very much. Thanks Nicole.
