My boys helped do that!

A few days ago (and I'm finally opening the email) I got the news email from BYU and saw this article:

Amazing the sense of possession and pride I felt for something I've never seen.  But I've certainly heard a lot about it.  My brother Whitney was one of the main workers on the project.  He's worked many long hours, including full time after graduation (during the hiring freeze--special permission to hire him) on it. And when Asael came to town, he got to get in on the action as well and spent a considerable amount of his summer and fall helping (in a lower-man-down position).  I've seen pictures of Laura and Lietta at the project (I'd show you, if I had my computer) and, like I said, heard lots about it.  But it was really fun to see the completed project and read about it.  And feel proud of my boys' work. :)

While I'm on here (supposed to be working on an immigration project, but taking a small break) I'll give a couple of updates to last posts:
Dog bite: my leg is mostly healed (still a little colored, but much better). Your responses were spot on; first two were the two I got.  I first got: "Have you talked to the owner?  You need to...etc.etc.etc. What if it where a child, etc.etc.etc. (especially when I didn't want to talk to him, this latter part came up)."  And then the next day at church several people asked about Rabies.  The dog was not rabid, just wanted a bite of my juicy, white leg.
Bridesmaid dresses: one down, practice dress (because I needed to do some major alterations to the pattern and wanted to do it on cheap material first) for second one down.  Feeling much more calm about it all now that we know what we want, I have done at least one, and I remember how much I love this pattern (it's simple/quite quick really and elegant (I love the lines!).  I'll try to remember to post pictures of us at the wedding.
Lots of other great things going on, but I can NOT write now.  Must work on immigration project.
