A Day for Celebration!!

Elder Ryan John Penman has been gone for SIX MONTHS! That is 1/4 of his mission done already! I am so happy that he is serving in Spokane. He loves it and is the happiest he has ever been. It really is fun to write letters and hear great stories of people he meets. I know he is doing what he needs to be doing right now, and he will be blessed because of his choice to serve a mission.

7 Weird and Random Facts

I think this tag was just what the doctor ordered Brandy! Thanks :)

1. I can't handle scary movies. I used to enjoy them but something snapped after I saw the movie The Ring.



2. I have never been on an airplane. I'm thinking my first airplane ride will probably be on my honeymoon.




3. I was in a freak horse accident. Girls camp o5 I was riding Jorge and he got spooked and blitzed up a mountain with me clinging to his side. Fortunately all that happened was a bruised foot and broken toe. Some say after everything happened they couldn't recognize me because my face was covered in dirt from when I face planted. :)




4. Shia Leboeuf is my celebrity crush. Ever since he was in the Disney series Even Stevens, I have loved this goofball.




5. I have played the piano for approximately 12 years. I can't believe it has been this long, but I began lessons at the age of 8. I stopped lessons after high school, but I still play for fun and for primary.




6. I hate the feeling of powdered sugar. Seriously. I make cream cheese frosting at work and when I have to reach into that bucket full of powdered sugar to grab the scoop it gets me every time.




7. I could eat a corn dog everyday. I don't know when this fetish started, but I love crispy, hot corn dogs dipped in fry sauce. MMM...
   

Now I tag 7 of my peeps- Julia, Mom, Leesa, Shelly, Megan, Lindsey, and Melissa. (If you wanna!)

"Ponytails are for Grills."

No that is not a type-o. That is what Kaleb told me last Saturday when I begged to play with his beautiful hair. "Grill" means "girl" in Kaleb talk.

P.S. There were approximately four ponytails on his cute little head.

It Never Ends

So I’m sitting here, and guess what. I am sick again. I woke up with yet another sore throat yesterday morning. I’ve made up my mind and I’m set on getting my tonsils out. It is so crazy that I have gotten sick approximately five times now since Ryan has been gone. That’s what, once a month? Its just not right. I think that some of it has to do with stress, and the other part is my bacteria infested primary class. Don't get me wrong I sure do love them-- but oh my, you wouldn’t believe the filthy little hands that touch me and my stuff, the green boogers oozing out of noses and the coughs that seem directed right at my face. I have taken steps to prevent the germs and now I have a big bottle of Germ-X that gets squirted on every little hand that enters my class. Alas, it has shown no signs of working. They are just too darn germy.
Any suggestions on staying healthy through the cold winter months and cute little kid germs? My mom swears by Airborne and the Netty Pot, but any other remedies are welcome!
