I thought I'd post the 10 things I'm really into right now:
1. I'm currently reading "The Shanghai Girls" by Lisa See. Getting very good right now.
2. Recently finished "The Help" which was an excellent book! Loved every minute!
3. I am so into "So You Think You Can Dance." Very amazing what they can do, but sometimes I wish their outfits weren't so skimpy; I feel like I need to hide my kids' eyes!
4. Flip Flops. I can't have enough of them. I mean, seriously, they are the perfect shoe. I can even run in them.
5. Zebra patterns. This is not by choice; we have been assigned the "zebra" theme for girls' camp and it's taking over my life! From zebra covered paint cans to zebra covered cushions, zebra shirts and zebra sunglasses, if I never see a zebra again it will be too soon!
6. "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay. Loving that song right now.
7. Naps. Ok, this is nothing new, but seriously, sometimes I'm tired. My bed calls to me! I try to resist, but as they say, resistance is futile!
8. "Prison Break" My brother recommended this to me and Steve and I are slowly getting into it, though I admit I don't always understand what the heck is going on. Steve doesn't like me to ask questions, so I just try to guess.
9. Vanilla yogurt + raspberries+ granola= happy Dade
10. Blogging! I'm loving my little blog!

About Me
- dade
- I love my crazy, chaotic, cozy life. As a mother to four kids ages 19 down to 10, I stay busy! With all of that, I love to find time to run, scrapbook, travel, read, hike,and be with my family. I'd say my life is pretty much exactly what I always wanted.
"But now I know the things I know,
and do the things I do;
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you!"
and do the things I do;
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you!"
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Cool Mom! Although the song is called "Viva La Vida" and not "When I Ruled the World", that's pretty awesome! We got back from Kyoto yesterday and we went to church. Apparently, the ward loved me and Lewis! Johnny and I are working diligently on getting my site up, so keep checking! We recently added the "Japan" Section, so it's pretty awesome. I miss you too Olivia! Love you all,
