Funny Story 2

Shane and Krystal came to our church house last night to play a little basketball. We started out with Around the World.

I was very impressed that I got as far as I did. I really stink at basketball.

Krystal got to the corner three point shot and stayed there almost the whole game. Seriously, atleast 10 rounds...She had finally had enough. The door to go out of the gym was right behind her. She opened the door and got a running start...chucked the ball at the specified location and watched as it swished into the basket.

After Around the World we got to the real game...two on two.

Stephen and Shane really would have kicked our trash but there were some extra added rules. We were playing to ten and Krystal and I were given nine points. AND Krystal and I had a special rule, anything goes. We cheated A LOT, but ended up winning. I have no idea what the score was, but we still won.

Funny Story 1

Yesterday I took Krystal to Dunkleys. I REALLY want a piano. I keep going to the store hoping that my savings account will eventually meet up with the price tag of the piano I want. ...someday...

While at the piano store, I began talking with one of the salesman on the floor. I told him of my desire for a piano and my lack of funds. He tried to sell my on different pianos for cheaper, but I just didn't like any of them. He began talking to Krystal about her University of Utah t-shirt. The salesman had gone to that school and they began a rousing conversation about college. I walked off eyeing different pianos.

Krystal and the salesman talked for another minute or so. I heard the man say to Krystal as they finished up, "Go help your Mom find a piano, she really wants one."

WHAT!

KRYSTAL!

I AM FIVE YEARS OLDER THAN HER, NOT TWENTY!

So...there you go...how old do I look?

Happy First Day of Spring!

With all of this warm weather going on, Stephen has not been able to sleep at night. He says that I am his "human heater" and he won't cuddle with me anymore...I wasn't a fan of that one, so I solved the problem. Last night I turned on the fan and opened the window in our bedroom.

This morning, I woke up and went to the kitchen to make Stephen breakfast. After I had been in the kitchen for about five minutes, I heard a weird sound. I couldn't figure out what it was, so I walked back into our bedroom. Not finding the source of the noise, I opened up our bathroom door. Stephen was tightly wrapped in his towel with my blow dryer on. He was using the blow dryer all over his body. As soon as he saw me open the door he looked at me with his "innocent eyes" and said, "Kami, it's cold!"

I laughed and walked back into the kitchen to finish my chores.

Hair...Straight Hair

Being a young married couple, I think that you run out of things to do. Stephen and I run into this all of the time.

"So, what should we do?"

"I don't know. What do you think we should do?"

This is a constant conversation between Stephen and I. Mainly in the winter. Last night I found something to do. Stephen grudgingly went a long. His hair has been getting quite long and I just wanted to see what it would look like not curly.

Here is his really hot, sexy curly hair. (Notice the background is basketball.)

While I was straightening his hair, Stephen was reading scriptures to me. This is what I heard, "And it came to paAAAHHHH THAT'S HOT!!!" Poor guy. Sorry hun! This is the end result. This is the uncurliest I could get it. Can't you see how enthused he is?

No More Attention For Me

It is March Madness.

I never understood the meaning of this simple phrase until I married Stephen. When they say madness, they really mean it. Stephen has the TV on basketball and the laptop on the Internet watching another basketball game. He is yelling at both screens. Saying something about his bracket.

Stephen hasn't really looked at me since the TV has turned on. (sigh)

Maybe I should start a husbandless wives club...

Guilt-Free

Last night Stephen and I watched LOST. Yeah, for those of you who watch it, you understand. We decided that we would eat a healthy snack during the show.

We had vanilla ice cream topped with my Mom's canned peaches. We had our dose of fruit and dairy and I don't even feel bad about it.

P.S. It was really good!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

When I was cooking breakfast, Stephen was making his lunch. He leaned over to see what I was making and said, "Gross! What's wrong with the eggs?!"

Stephen and I had green eggs and hash browns this morning.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Call!...(on March 19th)

Grandma Call is a perfect prayer. I know, that sounds kind of weird, but it is true. I've heard that we can be perfect in some things here on earth, and that is what Grandma is perfect at. For example: When I decided to serve a mission, Grandma was so worried that I would get called to a foreign country and die. She immediately began praying that I would get called to serve in Salt Lake City, UT. My Dad had to tell her to stop. I was at least called to serve in Texas. Only kind of foreign to Idaho.

I called Grandma Call today. It had been a while since we talked, so I called to let her know that I was still alive. While talking to Grandma she said, "Kami, I pray for you everyday. Do you know what I pray for?"

There was an awkward pause where I sat and thought...my brain came up with pregnancy.

"No Grandma, your prayers are not being answered."

She replied, "I just pray that you will still like me!"

I called her, didn't I? So I guess her prayers are being answered.

As our conversation wrapped up she said, "Kami, call me again soon...and next time, I'll let you talk."

Dental Success

I finally found a dentist. I've never really been a fan of going to the dentist, but I think I have found a winner. If anyone is looking for a dentist in Boise, go to Dr. Hymas on Five Mile across from the post office. He is awesome!

After waiting for two and a half years to go to the dentist, I had two cavities. Blah...but I am all fixed and pretty now. I love it when you can't feel your lips and people make fun of your smile.

Relief Society Birthday Dinner

"Purse"onal Threads of Faith...that was the theme of the night. We had so much fun! We also had so many more sisters there than what we had anticipated. Over 80!!! I was put in charge of the game for the night. As all of the sisters entered I weighed each of their purses. I think all of them thought I was a little odd, but we had fun.

After our "purse"onal taco bowls at dinner, I engaged the sisters in the new purse game show..."ARE YOU PREPARED?!" I gave the sisters a few situations to see if, in their purses, they were prepared for different situations that were thrown at them. Did they have a needle and thread? Band aids? Tide-to-go Pen? Tic Tacs? I bought mini packages of M&M's to hand out as prizes. I originally was going to throw them at the winners, but when our Relief Society President, Linda, found that out, she told me she would hand them out for me. He he. A lot of the sisters had the breath freshener and so I ran out of M&M's. We then came to the final prize...the heaviest purse! The sisters were so fun and were very involved. It was great!

After our game show, we had six sisters get up and speak about different topics, such as "purse"everance, "purse"sistance, "purse"uit of happiness, etc. We had some awesome sisters that had experiences that were really great to listen to. It also helped us to get to know them. Honestly...Relief Society Rocks!
