there and back again a gardner s tale there and back again a gardner s tale you are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream c s lewis saturday january 10 2009 the glory of love dear peter i have loved you for a long time ever since i was a young girl i would listen to your melodious voice sing the most romantic songs i knew i would lie in my room with my headphones on for hours listening to you croon while i did homework wrote letters danced and of course fantasized about love some of my favorite songs you sang were are the glory of love from the karate kid hard to say i m sorry if you leave me now we can last forever after all the next time i fall in love and my absolute favorite you re the inspiration as i watched you perform tonight with the full strength of the houston symphony behind you i realized that i am still madly in love with your music with your lyrics with you you sang live exactly as i imagined you are a total pop star i found it intriguing to watch you sing impossible notes all while teeth were clenched you were hilarious i enjoyed your cracks about how the audience has probably heard all of your songs while in the elevator at the grocery store in the bank you have a great sense of humor i ll admit it i cried i was as giddy as a school girl sitting in seat g12 your songs brought back some really fun childhood memories plus with a voice like yours how could i not cry as you hit the high notes during if you leave me now thank you for coming to houston you made one little girl very happy posted by bandhgardner at 3 31 pm 9 comments

see for yourself http www chron com disp story mpl front 6156862 html posted by bandhgardner at 7 06 pm 2 comments wednesday december 3 2008 thanksgiving tradition our family started a new thanksgiving tradition a couple of years ago this tradition has brought so much joy to my heart a few years ago brent wanted to try cooking the turkey since then he has never looked back and i have never touched a frozen turkey brent also makes several of the sides this year he made turkey stuffed with apples onions sage and cinnamon cornbread and wild rice dressing and corn pudding i made the cranberry sauce we had dinner at our friend s the theurers house they provided the mashed potatoes gravy made from the turkey drippings yum rolls green beans and the pies dinner was superb i am totally ok with our new thanksgiving tradition brent loves to cook the food and i love to eat it and i am alright with doing the thanksgiving dishes if it means i don t have to slave in the kitchen all morning long i am thankful for my husband his job my beautiful and happy son my health my knowledge of the gospel my loving family and good friends i hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving

and salad accompanied the meat it was absolutely delicious it s just another reason for me to count myself lucky for marrying such a catch thanks brent for such a fantastic birthday dinner posted by bandhgardner at 2 08 pm 6 comments friday november 7 2008 hurricane ike september 12th 2008 brent and i went to bed in anticipation we knew that hurricane ike would hit the location where we lived sometime in the middle of the night neither on of us had ever experienced a hurricane before that night we were almost giddy with anticipation weird i know sometime around 12 30 a m brent jumped out of bed and grabbed his laptop of the floor he had heard the sound of flowing water and knew he had to move his computer before water got to it it was a good thing he moved the laptop because water was flowing into our apartment through our windows which were closed faster than i thought possible brent spent several hours soaking up water around the windows with towels and then draining the water from the towels into bowls it was a good thing brent reserved that water because later on we realized the bathtub had drained and we had no water with which to flush our toilets we both eventually fell asleep only for me to be woken to the sensation of water dripping on my leg i woke brent up and informed him that water was leaking from the ceiling brent moved our thick heavy king sized bed from the bedroom to the living room so it wouldn t get ruined by the water drip unfortunately i wasn t much help to brent since i was just over 8 months pregnant although there was much chaos happening in our apartment it appeared to be even worse outside the wind was howling ferociously the rain was pounding so hard against the outside walls of our apartment that i am sure it was coming full force at a vertical slant it was pitch black outside with huge flashes of lightening it was all quite eerie i kept thinking that i hoped no one was left to try to fight against this monster called ike while outside the next morning brent and i discovered the effects of ike were disastrous brent and i were left without water and power as was most of the houston area old strong trees were ripped to shreds thick sturdy roots torn from the earth hermann park which is across the street from our apartment was unrecognizable brent and i spent four days without water and power we were lucky most houstonians went without power for one or two weeks we lived off of peanut butter and jelly crackers granola bars beef jerky and other non perishable items thankfully in anticipation of the hurricane we had stocked up with drinking water we had no water to bathe or flush our toilet we ended up collecting water from the apartment pool after a couple days our apartment smelled like a latrine after day two brent couldn t handle being so sticky and dirty that he finally took a shower with the pool water yuck thankfully after day three of no power or water our neighbors had their water back they let us take a shower at their house it was absolutely fantastic then the next day another neighbor family had power and water back and they let us shower at their house and they had us over for dinner it was so wonderful for the four nights we were without power and water we did a lot of reading played cards and board games hung out with our friend matt his wife and daughter were in nyc visiting at the time and went to bed when the sun went down brent had to go back to work after the third day thankfully he had taken a shower at our neighbors house our apartment sustained some flooding damage and was covered in mold so we had to move into another unit on a different floor it ended up being a blessing because we were able to get into a two bedroom unit where we would have more room for clark when he arrived we came from this experience feeling very grateful for all the modern conveniences we take for granted we grew closer to our neighbors and our ward we grew closer together as a family and we are so thankful the lord protected us through the hurricane and after posted by bandhgardner at 1 53 pm 8 comments clark confidential i have created a private blog to post updates on clark if you are interested in obtaining access to his private blog let me know by giving me your e mail i must say i am one lucky mama posted by bandhgardner at 1 05 pm 33 comments wednesday november 5 2008 happy birthday to me brent gave me a bose sounddock for my 28th birthday yesterday it is probably one of the most thoughtful gifts i have ever received brent and i haven t
