Etsy Shop
I just posted about my new etsy shop over on my other blog, but then realized no one really goes to that blog. So, here's a link. Check it out.

Are you going to go back to your country?
Kade asked us this question last night. I believe he still thinks we're visiting.

Call me...on my new phone!
I got a new phone yesterday! Thanks to M and D having a killer Sprint deal through BYU-I Phil and I now will have a lower mobile phone bill each month, and the best part is that I added unlimited data service for only an additional $4 a month. And since my phone is 2.5 years old, I figured it was time for an upgrade. I picked out the Palm Centro in black (my other options were green and pink).
I was expecting the phone to be a lot bigger than it really is. But its a perfect little size for my pocket or purse. And the greatest thing about having this is that I will be able to access my work email and calendar on it. But before I got it I had to promise Phil that I wouldn't become a phone email junkie. I don't imagine that will happen, considering I am on the computer everyday all day.
What I really wanted the phone for was to access my calendar, which would be really useful. For example, a couple weekends ago I was perusing the sales at the mall and my friend Mel called from Austin. We chatted for a while (as I rested on a rather comfy chair in sears) and then she invited me down for a visit. But because I did not know what my work schedule was like, I couldn't give her a definitive answer. Here's another example...I'm sitting in a meeting at work and the group wants to schedule a follow-up meeting. I am the only one in the room without a blackberry/iPhone/some kind of cool all-in-one gizmo and I have to tell them I will get back to them. Of course, this hasn't happened yet, but it could and I want to be prepared.
In addition to the unlimited data, we also have unlimited text messaging. So for all of those who already text me, keep on doing what you're doing because I no longer have to pay $.20 for each one I get. And for those of you who do not text me...feel free, because I imagine I will be doing a lot more of it!

Motherly-in-law Request
Rita, this is for you!
Last night I had a request from my mother-in-law to blog about my new dress. Well...here it is. It's from Target. And I love it. It was the last dress of its kind and the belt was missing. Which for me worked out pretty well because they gave me 20% off.
I wore it for the first time to church yesterday. I wore a basic long-sleeved white button-up underneath and paired it with brown boots and a white ribbon around the waist.
I find it hard to find dresses which means I usually stick with the skirt because I am different sizes on top and bottom. But this one fit perfectly. I was so excited about this purchase until Phil took the wind out of my sails because he said I spent more than he thought I was going to spend. (I think Phil is still trying to get used to me spending more than $10 on things now that we are both gainfully employed) The dress was $35! Which in my opinion, is a fair (and rather good) price for a dress that fits me well and will serve many purposes. But being the good husband he is, he saw the dress on and agreed with me that it is a great dress and worth the $35.
