Sunday morning... ahh... house to myself. Love these days, just relaxing and taking my time to get ready for church. I shower and decide to watch a little Olympics while I'm doing my makeup. Roommate shouldn't be home from church for a while, I'll do this in my garments and a t-shirt... who needs a bra at this point. Boy am I glad I had the t-shirt on.
Guess who comes home early? Yeah, my roommate and her new boyfriend. With no warning I might add. Perfect. So I casually pull the wet towel off my head and drape it across my lap and act like everything is perfectly normal. So what if I'm not wearing pants. Situation gets worse. They stand in the dining room and precede to have a 5 min convo with me. Then my roommate says to the boyfriend (whom I'm meeting for the first time- did I mention that?) why don't you go in and watch the Olympics with Katie while I go change my clothes. Luckily he has to go to the bathroom and I bolted.
Yeah, I need my own house where I can wear pants if and I when want.

the family ward
So I'm trying out the old family ward these days. I may have been in the single ward scene for a while but as far as I remember cheerios and fruit snacks (and pink mints if you sat by Grandpa Coy) were a staple for little kids at church.
So imagine my surprise when the little family in front of me had the following "treats" during sacrament meeting: peppermints, oranges, pickles, bananas and peanut butter sandwiches.
Last time I checked Sacrament was only an hour. I didn't realize I needed to pack a lunch.

Saving Souls...
I'm tired... like need a stiff drink and a massage tired. Diet Coke can only do so much ya know?
It's the craziest time of the year for us: travel, presentations, events, tours, open houses, more travel. We're all just really, really tired.
We just finished out 8th of 12 open houses. Last night we were in Provo- Cougar Country. We had over 500 people in attendance. I like to think of it as saving souls from Utah County. Last night we saved a lot of souls. Kate reminded me of a very appropriate quote last night..."And if it so be that ye should labor, all your days and bring just one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy".
I'm joyful... and tired.

No sad faces Niners fans...
You know what I love? Sleeping in hotel beds, couches and air matresses that deflate during the night and the plastic sticks to you when you wake up in the morning. It is so much nicer than sleeping in my own bed... especially since I got that 3 inch memory foam on there. It's that time of year again... when no one gets to sleep in their own beds because we are on the road recruiting ALL THE TIME.
We slept...
ate...
drooled... (well he did)
laughed...
... and cried.
and we loved every minute of it.
Then the next weekend my whole fam (including surprise visits by the extended fam) came out for TC's blessing. We decided to cram as much in two days as possible. We started off with family pictures that included David, the homeless man who told my brother and dad how haaaaaaaunted Hanford was. He heard people died... at 12 midnight.

Crackle, Pop... Snapped
So I realize I'm getting old. That I don't live the "freshmen" life anymore. I love having the house to myself. I love my flower garden. I love quiet.
