"Do you know what's happening over there?"

My husband is pretty funny sometimes. Jake and I were in a parking lot watching the fantastic lightning show that we had this night. I love to watch lightning storms! He turned to me and said,

Jake: "Do you know what's happening over there? Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort are battling it out"

Pretty funny eh? I think so!

Moods

Came across this today. Couldn't stop laughing!!



Is anyone else excited for the LAST (do I dare say that) Harry Potter?!

It's Costco!

First of all our little sunbeams we teach are adorable. One Sunday one of the little boys said the cutest prayer. It was a pretty lengthy one too. He blessed that we would watch a movie today in sharing time, as well as blessed the hot dogs and hamburgers we were going to eat. Jake and I opened our eyes a little bit and smiled at each other. I don't know what hot dogs and hamburgers he was talking about! We were giving a lesson on The Book of Mormon this last Sunday. Jake had brought The Book of Mormon along with two other books; A Costco cooking book and a reading book. As soon as we pulled out the Costco book, the little 3 year old yelled, "Hey...Costco" as he read the cover of the book. Jake and I were shocked. This kid can't read yet but he was sure able to read the word Costco. Apparently he is a big fan of Costco because he asked if he could take the book home with him. Oh what Costco is doing to our children.

In sixty years

I love old people. This is why.

I overheard a conversation today at work. This adorable couple seemed to be in their 80's.

Hygienist: (asking husband) "What are some of your hobbies?"

Husband: "I don't really have time for hobbies."

Wife: (who is a spunky lady) "I'm his hobby!"

So cute! Put a smile on my face. That is how I imagine Jake and I sixty years from now.

Finger prick

Jake found out today that he can't be a doctor. Or deal with blood. His work has this program that if you and your spouse are within the health guidelines of the company, (glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, health stuff like that) that they would cut our insurance bill by $125 So we fasted for the morning and headed up to get our blood drawn. Jake already gets a little lightheaded when he doesn't have food in him but when he saw the lady prick my finger, he got a little woozy.

A finger prick.

Seriously made me laugh. He likes to hunt so that fact that this made him a little woozy made me laugh! Love that boy.

Jake and I had a little too much fun with our new Mac and this picture is by far my favorite one of him.

Trim

Jake had me give him a hair cut yesterday. This is how it went.

Jake: Hey can you give me a hair cut today?
Me: Uh I think that's a bad idea. I have never used one of those things!
Jake: You can't mess up! You'll be fine.
Me: What if I nick your head and you start bleeding?
Jake: Then you can rush me to the hospital!
Me: That's not funny. Can I at least watch the DVD that came with it so I get an idea?
Jake: No. I will just tell you how I like it. I like to use a 3 and 4 on the bottom and sides, and a 7 on top.
Me: I have no idea what that means.

So I start cutting his hair very cautiously. Starting on the top, then working on the sides and bottom. Jake occasionally grabs the razor and shows me how to do it.

Jake: You need to push harder.
Me: I have a freakin razor on your head and you want me to push harder?!

Finally I am done.

Didn't look too bad after all. Now I wont be as scared next time.

Did I mention I don't like buses?

Thursday was our big choir dress rehearsal for General Conference. We were all supposed to meet at the institute building at 5:00 all dressed and ready to go. They had six buses there to take us all up to the conference center where we would be practicing. I was really excited to actually practice for the first time in the conference building! My cousin, (who is in the choir with me) and I went to go in one bus when we changed our mind and went for another one. Everyone is smiling and happy and can't wait to get started. We leave and get on the freeway during rush hour traffic.

Awesome. We're off to a great start.

We then get off at the next exit and park into an abandoned gas station where we find out our bus is broken. So we are just chilling in Provo and the bus that is coming to get us is coming from past the point of the mountain.

Even better.

The guys pull out their iphones and get us our pitches with a piano app. One guy said "there's an app for that!" and I giggled just a little bit. Then.....one of the girls suggest we stand up. In the bus. And practice. All I could think of was, are you serious?!? You're kidding right? By this time I was getting a headache and just super annoyed. I just wanted to get up to Salt Lake! I knew I should've brought some music and headphones. I knew I should've gotten on the other bus. Around 45 minutes later our other bus finally makes it!

It's a Catholic bus.

Hahaha! Oh man I laughed really hard when it pulled up. Just made my day! The bus driver was such a cute little old man. So we finally make our way up to Salt Lake and we make it to our rehearsal over an hour late. Rehearsal was pretty long but man it was so cool! We got a lot done and had all of our songs recorded. The spirit was felt. A lot of water was consumed. A lot of pictures were taken. Songs were sung. This is going to be such an amazing experience. I can't wait for General Conference and to be spiritually fed!

A little this, A little that

Who would have thought that life could get even busier when not in a semester of school.

Well it is.

But....it's grand!

We just celebrated Meg's 19th birthday....which it really isn't until Thursday but she was working that day, mom and I are both gone for choir stuff....pretty lame. It was great though! I hope she got everything she wanted. I'm counting down the days for mine! Twelve days my friends! Honestly I think twenty is a fat age. Boring. Twenty one...now that's exciting! But I am sad I have to change my license. I am quite fond of mine, except for my awful signature. I should start practicing that.

I spent the weekend with Jamie and her family which I always love! They are pretty much my second family. We went to see her sister in a musical called The Boyfriend. Loved. It. We got home so excited to watch Italian job because who wouldn't want to see Mark Wahlberg's amazing arms and cute smile. We both fell asleep within the first ten min. It's those couches I tell ya!


I met his whole family this last Sunday and had a blast! Of course I was a tad nervous at the very beginning but soon just found my place. One of his little nephews, who is five mind you, came up to me and said this.

"Heather, what are your intentions with my Jacob?"

Me: face turning redder by the moment and laughing. A lot. Does he even know what that word means? It was so cute.

So I've decided I want to explore the whole crock pot thing more. So if any of you have some really yummy recipes you should holla!

Rehearsal #2

Today we all got in order with how we would be sitting at the Conference Center. They had everyone go into the gym and get in order from tallest to shortest. So I meandered over to where I thought I would go. I was checking to see height wise if I was in the right place when an individual let me know that "you actually belong CLEAR up there!"

Why thank you kind individual for putting a lot of emphasis on the word "clear" to make me feel better!

Haha don't worry I have come to terms with my shortness.

We still haven't heard what our finalized songs will be. The church is still working on that. For our sake I really hope one of them is hymn #64 because our conductor has committed us to memorization of that song at our very first rehearsal. He has a pretty good feeling about that one. I hope he is right! After doing a good hour rehearsal on one song, one of our conductors, who is hilarious by the way, just spouted off for the last seven minutes. I can't even remember what he was saying but I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! I felt like I was attending a Brian Regan show.

Hilarious. I love choir teachers with a good sense of humor.

Laughter

Can I just tell you how much fun I had last night? So I went on a date with a giant. Seriously this kid is so tall! I was semi okay with my height until I stood next to him.

I maybe go up to his shoulders. Maybe.

We went to Comedy Sportz and if I may say, it was the best one I have been to so far. The players were hilarious and everything they said was really witty. Definitely a good night to go.
I laughed so hard I'm pretty sure I had a six pack by the end of the show. We talked, found out more about each other, conversation flowed great, he was great. Did I mention he is going into dentistry? Likes to cook? Likes to read? Play games? Plays the piano? Has a great singing voice? Is very smart? Loves to play any sport and be outdoors? Great smile? We have a lot of things in common including music taste including dislike of country music, being the oldest, the fields that we are going into.....seriously. It's crazy. I just sat there and thought...geesh who are you?! Perfect guys like that don't exist or are very hard to come by. If only I were a good couple inches taller! I do love my heels, but I love my flats a tad bit more. Well after Comedy Sportz, we came back to my place where we made Skookies, not pizookies, yes there is a difference, with a couple of other people. The Skookies were ah-mazing! After that, we played games, and laughed our heads off till about 1 in the morning. Do you know how long it's been since I have stayed up that late before? Long time. It was such a fun date!

Random

I was reading a fellow bloggers' page that had some pretty funny thoughts that she had found. I felt like I needed to share some of them with you because they made me laugh and everyone needs a good laugh once in awhile!

• Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.


• I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.


• LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".


• I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!


• While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.


• MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.


• Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!


• If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.


• You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.


• I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.


• I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.


• As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.


• Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.


• I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call


• I wonder if cops ever get annoyed at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

Also....I must be out of the loop or something, but I was just informed by a friend at work that Downeast sells jeans. Amazing jeans. My favorite kind of jeans. That are really hard to find. Did anyone else know this?

I'm going jean shopping!
