What?!? It's November already?!?!?

It's been a couple of weeks and quite a bit has happened. Time for a quick update I guess. Franklin Covey has been struggling in today's economy and gave Jeff the option of working part-time at hourly rates and becoming a production designer. Good thing we sold the house when we did. (Thanks Mom & Dad for putting up with us!) Jeff decided to "stick it to the man" and start up his own design firm with his buddy, Aaron Yount. Aaron lives in Rexburg (NO, we are not moving there!) so we took a little roadtrip up to visit the Younts and talk business. Jeff and Aaron already have loads of work and a business license pending. All they need is a name! (Any ideas???) It's all pretty exciting and Jeff is stoked that he'll finally be able to do what he's dreamed of since high school. I'm still working at Heartland Paper (forever & always) and Daisy is being as cute and sweet as ever! She's really starting to talk in full sentences and can actually carry on a decent conversation on the phone with Grandma "Potti"! She absoultely loves going to her Flips class twice a week and is really quite the athlete. She must take after her mom. She's such a doll! Jeff turned 29 on the 25th, and we had a nice little date night with dinner at The Garden and a stroll around The Gateway. We love Salt Lake! Jeff's highlight was probably the Coldplay tickets he received from all of us!! I can't wait! Then came Halloween. My mom worked long and hard on the most perfect Cinderella gown for Miss Daisy. It was gorgeous and Daisy looked better than the real Cinderella if I do say so myself! Every day she would beg to put on "Cin-duh-lell-la" (said slow and methodically ensuring she pronounced all the syllables). I did quite a marvelous job (yes, I'm bragging) on her hair and accessories and I had a little too much fun making her matching treat bucket! Jeff and I were the ugly step-sisters and I think Jeff enjoyed being in a dress a little too much..... Anyway, we really are doing well and are happy and healthy. What more could we ask for?
