Extreme Makeover:Home Edition
Bonnie gave me a make over...You can't tell, but my face is super silver. They called it the "Tinman's girlfriend" look.

Sacrament Meeting
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to announce that in church yesterday, there was a visitor. "Who could be important enough to visit church and have Miranda post it on her blog?" you ask. Well, let me just tell you! It was President Thomas S. Monson! That's right! First counselor to President Hinckley!
Appearantly his grandaughter lives in this area, and also he had a bit of business in a neighboring city, so he came out for memorial day weekend.
He spoke in sacrament meeting. It was so amazing! I couldn't believe he was speaking in my chapel! His daughter also spoke. Sacrament meeting went rather long. He spoke almost an hour just by himself, but I was fine with that. It was wonderful!
I was sitting near the aisle when he walked in. He shook Elder and Sister Phippens hands, as I stood next to them, but didn't shake mine. Elder and Sister P. had to leave a bit early for other meetings, so I then got the very aisle. Once again, he walked by me without a handshake. As Nathan, Katie A., and I were leaving, Nate wanted to talk to Elder Poole (who baptized him about a year ago). Elder Poole, unknown to us, was standing next to President Monson's rental car. President Monson came out with his family and body guards and walked past us, kind of glanced at us, and walked towards his car. He stopped just before he got in, turned around, and shook my hand. Then he talked to us briefly. It was so awesome!
Three apostles down, nine more to go!

Aunt Val
On the way back from Mystic, there was an accident and we got stuck in traffic. Aunt Val, rather than be bored, took her hairpieces and stuck them straight up and began dancing and waving to all the cars next to us. We got some pretty good looks. I think it's genetic. 
Mystic Seaport
The ladies and I went down to the Olde Mystic Villiage and toured the seaport. We met this character actress who pretended she lived back in the day. I want her dress. 
Ships Ahoy!
We got to tour old boats. 
Sleeping arrangements...cozy.
Anna and Jenny navigated.
I did all the grunt work
...and shot cannons...

I'm the funniest person I know
A bunch of pictures taken of me recently...
Sarah and I were, uh, hyper one night, and this was the result..
My job requires I jump on the trampoline. I love my job!
Sarah and I played "Pretty Pretty Princess"
How many straws can I fit in my mouth?
