Memorable

The above pictures were featured at Andy Warhol's first New York solo Pop exhibit, entitled 100 Soup Cans, and 100 Coke Bottles respectively (He also did 100 Dollar Bills, but we couldn't find that picture on the Internet). So, why the sudden interest in Andy Warhol? Well, it's not really the artist that is important to this week's post, but rather the number 100. You see, on this day we are posting the one hundredth edition of The Hazard Chronicles.

So what did we do this week to celebrate such a momentous occasion? Well, it was actually an expensive week. Our car decided to break down last week and we had the honor of purchasing a new clutch. This was really exciting because we were really glad it wasn't a new transmission. There is always a silver lining!

This week has been one of those memorable weeks for Cleveland Craigslist. Logan and I have a short list of things we need to buy and can be patient enough to find a deal on Craigslist. This week we crossed three of those items off the list. I am the proud new owner of a great schwinn bike! This bike is in pretty good condition, fits me perfectly, and was a fabulous twenty five dollars. The second craigslist steal was a state-of-the-art 140.00 Eva size bike seat for 25 dollars. This bike seat is pretty cushy and has all the extras you can possibly dream of. Adjustable foot rests, comfy lining, and very large storage compartments that are the perfect size for library items or a picnic, and an incredibly easy attachment system that only requires about ten seconds to attach or remove. Not to mention that this seat has a higher weight limit than any others we could find so we can use it for longer. The third craigslist steal was a brand new pack and play for Evelyn. Keep in mind that I have been looking casually for a pack and play for about eight months now. Until last week, Evelyn fell asleep perfectly in her carseat if we were out and about or if she was at the babysitters house. Last week, overnight, she decided she would have no more of that. Hence the need for a pack and play. We found a practically brand new one with a design that Logan and I both like for twenty dollars. Score!

Besides the purchased items, two of the people threw in a bunch of baby cloths after seeing how cute Eva was. In celebration of our new acquisitions we went on our first ever Hazard family bike ride. Yesterday we bundled up our sweet babe and headed to the library. Eva smiled the whole way. As soon as she wakes up we are going on a bike ride to the fabulous Shaker Lakes.

For the last few months our Book of Mormon study habits have left much to be desired. On Monday Logan came up with a new idea for our study time. We have started reading the Institute Book of Mormon study guide side by side with each chapter. We read the information and then we read the chapter. Sometimes we find interesting information and go on a tangent to find out more. This has been so much fun for us. We have quickly become more interested in learning background than finishing a chapter. There is a really cool talk that I would highly recommend about the history of the Book of Mormon. Logan and I learned a lot when we read it. If you would like to find out more... just click on this really long address. http://library.lds.org/nxt/gateway.dll/Magazines/Ensign/1982.htm/ensign%20november%201982%20.htm/scriptures.htm?fn=default.htm$f=templates$3.0

On Thursday I set a new record for myself for the longest time spent in a dentist chair. It all started at 9:00 and wasn't over until three thirty. I had three pretty big gum surgeries. I had two apicoectomies and one of my front teeth was pulled (what little I had left of it). My swelling is finally starting to subside a little bit. Yesterday the left side of my face looked like a softball had snuck into my cheek, I couldn't even open my eye! Today it has shrunk down, but is still pretty noticeable. The great thing is that the swelling numbs the pain and my swollen lip prevents people from seeing that I am missing one of my important front teeth! There is always a silver lining... I am still trying to figure out how I am going to interpret tomorrow as there is no way I can put my tooth in by that time... Logan had to take a picture because he got a kick out of seeing me try to smile.

What a wonderful week! We are excited to see what next week brings.

This picture is going in a frame. I love it! Eva is a natural biker.

Here is me trying to laugh after my surgery- Logan had to take a picture!

Eva was so cute while I made zucchini bread this week- she just sat on the counter and played with the zucchini peelings and laughed.
