A Year in Review

No, I didn't forget I have a blog...

So here's the highlights from 2013 in the Glenn household... in no particular order:

1. We're still cub scout leaders!  I'm a den leader and Dallin is our fearless cub master.  Which we love (most of the time).  I helped at cub scout day camp this summer, which was interesting.  We had a pretty big storm come through the last day.  It poured.  And I left the back car window down... sigh.  The rain and lightning also knocked out the power.  We had 120 little boys (7-11 years old) in a church building without power... it was absolutely crazy.  But the cows were cool.

b. We went to California and Utah this summer!  It was awesome to see family and escape the humidity.

4. We moved... again. 5 times in 5 years.  But we're staying put this time.  Probably.  Hopefully.

V.  We were pirates for halloween.  But we didn't win the trunk-or-treat decorating contest.  Trunk-or-treating is taken pretty seriously here.  By the adults, the kids don't care, they just want candy.  People plan for it the whole year.  Trash talk starts a few months before. And competition is fierce.   The "anonymous" judges (I'm pretty sure it was the missionaries) were totally wrong, we had the best trunk there!  But that's ok, we'll get 'em next year!  I'm already planning....

Next, Dallin's become super interested in nutrition.  He decided to try and fix his cavity by eating differently.  We think it's working, but Kevin's skeptical (he's Dallin's cousin's husband... and a dentist, which is probably more relevant).  The book he's been reading is Nutrition and Physical Degeneration if your curious.  It's pretty interesting.

3.  I'm not allergic to nuts anymore!  It was exciting, and terrifying.  In one day I went from peanuts = death to being able to eat whatever I want.  Turns out I don't like peanuts, at all.  Ironic.  Although peanutbutter cups are tasty!

- We went to New York at the begining of December to see the Christmas decorations.  It rained pretty much the entire time, but we had a blast.  Some of our good friends came with us, we got godiva chocolate and New York Pizza, played on the big piano, and my forehead was on the Today show! (I'm pretty much famous)  On the way home, we stopped in Philadelphia to have a Philly cheesesteak and explore a bit.

 

F.  My friend Jessi got married!  It was awesome. 'nuff said.

7.  Dallin won the Memorial day 3k in our town!  Which was also awesome.  He got a free shirt for winning.  I got the same free shirt for coming in aproximately 673rd... no joke.  He also ran a 10k.  He did that one super fast too!  I didn't run that one, so I just steal his shirt.

Finally, we've had lot's of fun with our friends and family this year playing, hanging out, and just having a good time and I can't possibly mention all of the fun things we did.  Maybe I'll make a New Year's resolution to be better about blogging :)
