Hunger Banquet

Ever since I've come to BYU (minus last year, I was in New York), I've gone to the Hunger Banquet. I feel like it's been a quintessential part of my experience here. Two years ago, I was one of the organizers, and let me tell you, it is a LOT of work. This year, however, blew my mind. There were SO many people there. The speaker, Martin Burt, was phenomenal. I don't know how they got him to speak, but he flew all the way from Paraguay to be there. I volunteered so that I could go for free (pathetic) but it was fun to be there. I sat most of the time with Austin and Wills. I took The Guy so Tim could go to the temple, and he just rode on my back the whole time and loved it. I dressed him in his awesome onesie that my friend Bethany sent us when he was born. He ate a lot of beans and rice, which gave him gas and kept him up but he liked them at the time so it was worth it.

  3. First off, I'm glad you found my blog! You might remember me from a few summers ago-Celia's roommate in Park Place.

    I'm also glad to know that cloth diapering is something that normal people actually do! When I started thinking about it I thought people would think I was nuts, but I was so happy to realize that generally that's not the case. Anyways, I really want to do it! Do you use the prefolds and covers? I know you said you sew your own (which is totally awesome) but do you still use covers? With two babies, I might do every other diaper disposable/cloth until I get the hang of it and slowly wean myself off of disposables.

    Also, your baby is absolutely adorable! Your blog is great and I'm considering myself a reader as of now.
