~GENTANITES~: Change is good

In honor of the "Breaking Dawn" release, I picked and changed the background from thecutestblogontheblog.com. My Mom and I have been using their templates when they were offered on their blogspot site. Back then, there weren't as many and they didn't have their logo/link on it as they do now. They have a lot more templates, so check them out. Anyhow, I'm super excited to read the new book. I can't wait!

Our Family Rules:

#1 Rule: It is your duty to HONOR GOD, live your religion and be faithful!
Always be kind and respectful to each other.
Be encouraging and proud of each other.
Be forgiving. The right answer after a disagreement or spat is always "I'm sorry."
Be honest in all that you do.
Do an act of service for each other everyday.
Do not put CLEAN clothes in the laundry room. It is not the solution to keeping your room, especially your floor, clear of clothes. You have a dresser and closet for that. The laundry room is neither.
Do your chores WITH a smile. :)
Don't show snakes, lizards, worms or anything gross such as puke on your hands or clothes, to Mum!!!
Don't yell or scream INSIDE the house, unless of course, the house is on fire or you or someone else has a MAJOR owee or booboo.
Give "umas" and "huggies" daily. Mum loves to get her daily dose.
If you don't have anything nice to say, FIND ONE! (Mum's favorite).
If you see a pile of clean laundry in Mum and Dad's room, that's an invitation for you to come in and fold it (and put them away).
If you see a sagging diaper, or smell it first, you get to do the honors (and change it).
Put it away...not down! If you made the mess, clean it up.
Saying "Yes, Mom" "Yes, Dad" "I'm coming!" "Can I help you with anything else?" "I'll take care of it right away!" are the correct responses.
The walls are not an open canvas for your art work, nor is it an invitation to display your dirty handprints. Please use paper and place your artwork on the fridge and wash your hands.
Your shirt is not a tissue for your nose and your sleeve or hand is not a napkin.
LOVE EACH OTHER! Say "I love you" everyday.

Our Songs:

Scott to Lia: Vivir Sin Aire by Mana
*Why? "It made me think of you. It was the first thing I thought of. I liked it. It's an intelligent song and it's romantic. I don't like just any romantic song. The song has to be intelligent."
*Where did you first hear the song? "It was in 1997. I was on the boat (the Alaskan Rose in the Bering Sea as a fisherman), in Alaska. I was on my bunk and I borrowed the tape from someone else and I played it in my walkman."
======================
Lia to Scott: Lucky by Jason Mraz (ft. Colbie Caillat)
*Why? "It reminds me of the emotions I felt when we were first together. The excitement and newness of our relationship and the longing I had to always be near you. We had trials, but in the end... "I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend, Lucky to have been where I have been, Lucky to be coming home again..."
*Where did you first hear the song? "On Nila's blog."
