The Big Announcement

We have not been getting many comments lately, and that is okay. I know that you are reading, and for some reason or another, maybe time, lack of blogger expertise, or my posts are not evoking emotion enough to comment, the comments are just not flowing. But I know that you are still there. Thanks for reading. I thought of a post that would evoke emotion and maybe a couple of comments. Sadly, the post had been evading us for the last 2+ years. But, thanks to Dr. Hammoud at the University of Utah Center for Reproductive Medicine and a ton of prayers-oh, so many prayers: WE ARE HAVING A BABY! I even changed the font size and color for the announcement which I never do. I chose BYU blue, because that is where I hope this new one will go to school. But if he or she chooses Utah State, which is also blue, that is great too. There you go. It is our happy thought and has been our fondest dream for a long time. We are the most blessed of families.

He has created a world of safety and happiness for me largely due to his confidence and faith. I am a happy woman. Oh, for posterity's sake, I gave him a towel. I know, so romantic. Andrew really loves showers and I thought that he would love his very own 820 gram weight pottery barn classic towel. I am not allowed to use it to remove my makeup. Happy Anniversary, babe.

The Boy Who Invented Television

When you drive by Rigby, Idaho, there is a billboard that says "BIRTHPLACE OF THE TELEVISION". I was always proud about that sign, because in my heart, I knew that I was a blood relative of the man who did it. It was as if I had some genius cells in my body because of this relationship. A few weeks ago, I read his biography, "The Boy Who Invented Television" by Paul Schatzkin. The author was not a Latter day Saint, and Philo was not an active one, but you could not help but see the inspiration of this boy inventor who did not graduate from high school or college. Oh, yes, he came up with the idea of television at 14 YEARS OLD-while plowing a potato field. There is something about potatoes and 14 year olds. I found this quote in the appendix. You felt it through the book, but it was amazing to hear him say it: "I know that God exists. I know that I have never invented anything. I have been a medium by which these things were given to the culture as fast
