BEST.
WEEKEND.
EVER.
Look how much service I did!
Aren't holidays the best? We went shoping for our AngelSub4SantaTree family. Don't really want anyone to know just how selfless I am so I wouldn't of even said anything on here except my mom wanted to know so I have to put it here to tell her. Helping out paupers rocks! The poor needy 9yo girl wanted a bike so I got her the VERY nicest stationary one I could find and the whole first season of Gossip Girl to watch while she rides it. LOVE that the beggarly are into fitness!
No offense but the ward Christmas party started out so SO so lame. They did a live naytivity which is happy and fun...for about 2 seconds. Then it's brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and boring and I'd seriously way rather watch Grampa Krugy's Christmas while I tie corners of a fleece blankie, especially when outside is FREEZING with some grumpty frump playing Mary. She looked so bummed the whole time! Hello, babies rule lady! Luckily for all of us, I anticipated the yawn so yanked some tinsel out of my ginorm purse and scattered it all over the ugly shepherds and brought a sassy applikayed onesie for baby Jesus. And thanx to your guyses urgings, I'd broughten the karaoky machine so just had Angelnugget bring it in from the Escalade. Set up right next to the cresh and belted Celine's O Holy Nite like I was performing in Vegas! Everyone (meaning JJWT) said I sounded like an angel. AND when the stake YWs pres came by I sang extra soft and spiritual to help her feel the prompteen about who should do the stamp demonstration for New Beginnings. Honestly, probably I'll be on bedrest by then but would whole-heartily make an exception.
Church was neat too (aren't holidays the best??) and the bish was so happy slash suprised slash greatful when he realized I'd snuck a label on each program saying the MiaMaids and me would be doing a SPECIAL special musical number!! My heart was SO so full as I heard my nails clicky clack through the chapel as my tiny fingers danced up on the keys. They all played the hand bells while I sang Breath of Heaven and accompanied myself on the piano.
Service is the best.

- Hi everybody!!! My name is Tiffany/Amber/Megan/Nicole and I am married to Jordan/Jason/Wes/Taylor, and we have non-stop fun all the time and are LOVING married life! We are super busy but we still love to make time for fun stuff and we just love being married and living our awesome lives. I LOVE crafts (especially stamps and homemade jewelry) and he loves sports. I went to hair school/teach 2nd grade and now we just finished law/dental/business/medical school! So hard!

In March '09' we had the hottest twins ever, named very unique: Alivyiah TreCole and Tridger Kaegrin. Love you guys!! If you have anything you want me to blog about, puh-LEASE let me know at seriouslysoblessed at gmail.com.

You are such an inspiration, TAMN. I'm glad to hear you have an Escalade - I was wondering if you were going to have to get a mini-van for the twinners (gasp)..
Snuck a label on each program?? TAMN, you're brilliant! I bet you used one of your way cute scrapbooking tools to make the labels, too so the church program didn't look so seriously boring and blek. I'm so lucky to have a friend like you that isn't afraid to "let her light shine" by letting your talents shine (or your glossy lips and French manicured nails under the spotlight I'm sure you had pointed at the rostrum -- that's the stand part the bishop sits on). Merry Christmas!!!
WOW!, first commenter! so i am sure the 9yo guuurlll will so appreciate staring at lonely boy and nate for hours on end...GREAT idea TAMN! and i bet you sounded better than Sleezey Dion's version of O Holy Night...you should record it and sell your version on your webiste! I'D BUY IT!
TAMN- you are a true shining example for us all!
I can only hope to be as service-oriented as you this holiday season, TAMN!
You pulled out all the stops for the holladays....Mary Xmas, TAMN!!
Service RILLY is the best. Thank you for being such an example TAMNers! Love you!
TAMN you are so ritious! And are you sure you weren't at Heritage Park last night, I swear I could hear your angelic voice?!
I felt the spirit just reading that. Thanks for sharing. That was a service rendered to your readers too!
You are an angel.
I think U speled "poppers" rong.
Way to be TAMN!
I thought about earning some boy scout points this weekend, but it was too cold and snowy out. So instead, I just sat wrapped in a warm blanket and watched from the window as my neighbor shoveled all the driveways on the block.
I took time to think about service as I watched, and I feel my contribution is making the world a better place.
Service is the best. I agree =)
First! Go TAMN!
you crack me up. way to start of a monday on a high note!
I bet Mary would have been less of a bummer had you offered your tight-and-sassy fur-trimmed coat and ginorm fuzzy boots... Or, maybe she was bummed because you did offer them, but she didn't fit.
I heart the fingernail clickety-clack while the Piano is playing! And anything is better than that stinky old organ!
So. Awesome Tamn!!!! Yesss. i am number 1 comment. You love me righ? For sure you do!!!
Service makes my heart warm. Way to go.
Glad to know your weekend was good. Our ward got to listen to a talk about the War on Christmas. No, I'm not kidding.
Wow! That special musical number sounded OOBER special! You are seriously so blessed with so much talent!
Am I the only one who can't read what the heck she's talking about?
A-MAZE-IN! You just gave me a reason to be happy about Christmas! ITs off to find me a kareokee machine!
Does your ward realize how seriously blessed they are to have you? I think that you need to get up during testimony meeting in January and remind everyone what a blessing you are to them. I know that'll be kind of hard for you because you don't like to brag. You've got to realize that it is going to help everyone so much though. After your testimony they'll all be more grateful (to have you in their ward)and humble (becuase they will see your exapmle and realize how far they still have to go) like you. Why was I not blessed to be in your ward?!
I had somehow missed out on the experience of hearing Breath of Heaven until yesterday at the ward Christmas program, and all I can say is that I am NOT SURPRISED that our own darling TAMNers sang it yesterday too.
I hope you did your Christian-emo-rock impression, so people weren't sure if they were in a teeny-bopper high school prom movie or at church.
I'm sure the bish was super thrilled. hilarious
I LOVE Breath of Heaven!!!! I'm bummed I missed it! The Mia Maids are soooo lucky to have you!
I think it's funny that you said "holla" days. HOLLA! I'm sure your Angelsub4santatree girl's mom will be so grateful that you got her dau gossip girls. So thoughtful!
Yeah, why does every Nativity Mary have to act like she has severe post-partum depression?!? Lighten up, baby Jesus mamas!
(Would posting this comment anonymously have helped divert the lightning which is about to strike me?)
wish i lived in utah so i could partake in your seriously heavenly scent and vocal chords- holla- whos the bomb?
I'm a little disappointed that you sang an Amy Grant song instead of going with a more chosen song by someone like Mike McLean. :(
Happy holla-days to you, TAMN!
All I can say, and I know it's not a lamo testimony meeting but my year certainly wouldn't have been as blessed without your zample to lite the way. There is only 1 question burning in my heart/mind...Which feti gets to play baby Jesus at next year's Nativity? The boy might be the obvious choice bt what about the darling little princess? What's her roll going to be ?
I uplawd your generousness to the suby girl...i know my kids want/need IPOD touch (s) but sinse its more than I can afford they'll get the mp3 players on sale for $10 at Rite-AID. yes...giving is better than receiving!
Breath of heaven is the best song!
Everytime I read your blog, my heart hurts a little more and I dearly hope that you are truly one-of-a-kind.
I have a crush, I mean, cresh on this blog.
Sooo glad you don't live in Seattle where they cancelled church...that would have been way bummers...wish I lived there!
omg... sneak a sticker onto the program. that's genius!! wow, you're my hero! way to be such a seriously HUGE example to all of us not so giving people. borderline addicted to this blog? i think so.
You are such a selfless giver. I hope the members of your ward know how lucky they are to have you!
Oh my gracious TAMN you are amazing! I wish I could do as much service as you, but I don't have like any time cuz of school! I'm a student at Hogwarts, and its oober-tuff! Luv you dearest!
Thank you, thank you for keepin it real! Love this blog!
if your applikayed onsies are good enough for Mary's BB, then my little girl needs one too. Do share where you purchased, no, how you MADE this onsie!!!
Hurry and make a C.D. to sell at Deseret Book so we can all enjoy.
HEY! My fingers went clickity clack on my flute Sunday...too bad we couldn't do a number for all to hear...would have been super spirational...
Let me know if you get a music deal soon and we'll totally hook up! hahaha!
I'm so spired by your service...
CTR!
So I just found your blog through one of my friend's and I am addicted. I love your quirkiness!
You gonna eat that? No. You're not. Just read it a couple of times and you'll get it. My sister doesn't understand TAMN-ese, either.
You're so thoughtful, TAMN! I bet you really did sound like an angel!
Happy Holidays to you TAMN! Keep making us smile with your zany posts.
Is that the baby Jesus in your bird's nest? He's Blonde?!?
No, wait! He's GLOWING!
I thought the economy/Brit is back post was the best, but this has to be a close second...I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!
Please move to my ward.
My new year's resolution is to move into your ward boundries, and being that I am super frumpy & childless, you could be my VT...that way there would be some hope for me. Otherwise, I am afraid all is lost ;o(
I'm glad to see Tamn is back. I missed these kind of posts!
