GO SUU!

saturday i went to my first football game!!! it was so intense! i know i have to read up on it to truly understand it but i already love it. trudi says the family has severely neglected me by not teaching me how the game is played when i was younger. and i have to agree with her. i get most of it; its the finer points that elude me. the point system, the terminology. but im optimistic for my knowledge in the future. yeah!!! go suu!

this is my favorite picture ever!!! it was taken just as they were starting to run across the field. awesome.

my friend tyler and i right after the game. he painted my face and i did his...im gonna hold face painting courses for him to take...or something. haha

tyler was literally laying on the counter top so i could wash the black spray out of his hair. he sure enjoyed my shampooing abilities. haha


over all...even though we lost im really happy i went. and i plan to attend every home game possible....with better face paint. haha

Wow. Long time, no post!

Wow. I guess I shouldn't have so many blogger idents. It's been hard keeping them straight. But I've got all the appropriate passwords and gate keeper codes now, and an offer from a technological genius to help me learn how to post pics, and then I'll let you know what I've been up to during my three month hiatus. So for now, I'll just say thanks for not giving up on the cedar house, and I promise to do better.

picture happy, i know

TRAVIS WROTE BACK!!!

i may be making too much out of this but...i cant help it!

as many of you know i got in trouble with travis for mentioning that i don't know travis therefore i have to love him on faith as my brother. well after he chewed me out and i apologized semi-publicly i wrote him online and explained all my statements more fully. after christmas i decided to do something about our non-existent relationship. even if he never called to talk to me or anything i made a resolution to help him get to know me by writing weekly emails with pictures and stories from my childhood.

i've kept it up pretty well, only missing 3 weeks in a row ONCE. haha and this last week {as eventful as it was} was more than worthy of a super long e-mail. it was the longest one i think i've sent to him so far and it didn't include any pictures at all.

well.... i opened my gmail account yesterday and had to literally rub my eyes. i couldn't believe it. he wrote me back! after all this time of thinking i had the wrong email address cuz i got no reply. after so many emails....wow! i told katie and she was only slightly less surprised than i was...... and then i started crying. i was so grateful. and i was so glad i hadn't lost hope. i listened to the spirit urging for, "one more email...one more email," instead of listening to my own slowly breaking heart as it told me every time i clicked that send button, "why are you sending another one? its not like he'll reply to this one, either."

and it wasn't until today that i noticed the pictures he sent with the email. thank the lord for obsession. haha so here they all are, for everyones viewing pleasure.

much love, tristen fagg {the baby}
