One of our assignments as a new Relief Society presidency is to write a paragraph about ourselves for the stake newsletter. Here's mine...hey, maybe you'll find out something new about me!
1. I will be singing the Messiah choruses six nights this week and 5 nights next week with the Phoenix Symphony Chourus. Hallelujah.
2. I married a man who likes to bake. He tortures us on Fast Sundays after church by making not one or two, but several desserts before we’ve broken our fast.
3. After my freshman year at BYU, I went on a study abroad to Israel and it made a significant difference in my life – a really self-defining moment you could say.
4. My favorite books are Anna Karenina, Pope Joan, and Pride and Prejudice.
5. I believe that music is something that everyone can and should participate in and that it has so much potential power for good.
6. I love to blog! It gives me a chance to express myself and it combines scrapbooking and writing in my journal – two things I’m not very good at – into something that I like to do.
7. Our three children are the only grandkids on both sides of the family – so, yes, they are in high demand during the holidays!
8. I have lived in 6 different states, and spent almost completely equal time on the east coast and in the west. The longest I’ve lived anywhere was in Hershey, Pennsylvania for 6 years. (Maybe that explains the chocolate addiction!)
9. I’ve recently been told that my “eyebrows need help…times ten!” Maybe I’ll get to that after Christmas…
10. One of the most fantastic experiences I’ve had was playing “Maria” in The Sound of Music. My daughter got to play “Gretl” and my husband played a Nazi. But, really, he’s very a nice man.

LOL - I think your eyebrows are perfectly wonderful just the way they are. LOL (but I did laugh out loud reading that...). If it makes you feel better, she had an "eyebrow intervention" with me, too.
I think Adam should teach the men in the ward how to bake...or maybe just David.
Thanks, Kim! I like your eyebrows too!
I was going to say - I remember liking your eyebrows. And with THAT - SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS GIRL- I have your Christmas Card here with no address!!!

X10! I think you look great just as you are :)
Okay - seriously. Who is having issues with your eyebrows??? I'm feeling a little sassy lately, so maybe I could have a talkin' with 'em for you! I'm here for ya...
Aimee, I see this blog post is raising some, uh, you guessed it! Well, here's my eyebrow response: My eyebrow status can be summed up by the favorite hymn "Because I Have Been Given Much". For a long time I have been plucking, but I never seemed to achieve the cute, skinny, feminine look some of my friends have. I have two friends here with especially petite eyebrows and I have always been jealous of them. So one day I kept plucking and I wasn't going to stop until it looked right or I had a bald forehead. I also clipped them with scissors. And voila! Finally I think my eyebrows look as fashionable as my friends'. I haven't told them about it yet, because, well, it's embarrassing, but since you've been reported for an eyebrow violation, I thought I'd confess to you. Good luck!

So, the eyebrow story...it was just so funny when this (unnamed) well-intentioned person told me that my eyebrows needed help "Times Ten!" and "X 10" was the part that had me cracking up! It was all in good fun. But also partly serious - I did kind of stop worrying about the eyebrows in question a couple years ago when my bathroom sink didn't allow for convenient plucking positions, so it was dropped from my list of priorities...until now! But seriously, I wasn't "offended," it was all very funny and I repeat it only for the great story and to pass along my new favorite phrase: "TIMES TEN!!"
