One quick funny story, before my usual update. A while back, I went to school, Michaels, the grocery store, my in-laws, and the post office. At the post office, I reached back to put my phone in my back pocket and realized I was touching my underwear. That's right, my pants had torn and I had been walking around with this huge hole. And I am not just talking about a little hole. This hole was about eight inches tall and four or five inches wide. Yup, my whole butt cheek was hanging out. I can't beleive no one said anything! At least I gave a few people - okay - a lot of people a good laugh. Noe for the update....
Last time I posted, Kent was on his way to Officer Candidate School. Well since then, he has been dropped and sent home. They gave him the flu with the immunizations he received and got a very high fever. He didn't tell anyone, but when they brought them in for a dose of Penicillin they found out and immediately put him in isolation barracks. They would not release him until his fever had been gone for 24 hours. Because they would not release him, he missed pick up day - when they get assigned to their platoon - which you can not miss. So they threw his stuff in a laundry bag and dropped him on the airport curb without alowing him to shower first, even though they hadn't let him shower for three days. So, we are back to square one. I am glad to be with him again, but under these circumstances it was not a happy reunion.
I am back in school and busy as ever. I have eight classes, five of which are music classes for my major. I also got into Jazz band which is very fun and challenging. I am loving it. I just wish I didn't have to take Math, but once I finish this math class I don't ever have to take another one. YES!
Oklahoma auditions were yesterday and we have call backs next Saturday. I am excited at the talent we have, it will be a fun group to direct. But am realizing how busy my schedule is going to be once rehearsals start.

Flush, Swish, Splash, OOPS!
Well, this semester is half over and I can hardly believe it. It has gone by very fast. I can't believe how much work it has been, but I think I have got the hang of it. I am working on a project for my health class where I have to volunteer at a non-profit for a few hours. I spent my volunteer time at the SL Habitat for Humanity ReStore. I was scrubbing stoves and ovens for resale. Another volunteer and I put the oven knobs in a bucket of water to soak. As the water got dirty, the other volunteer offered to go dump the water. I assumed she remembered the knobs in the bucket, but I guess not. She dumped the knobs for two stoves - that's eight knobs into the toilet which automatically flushed once it got too full. She frantically tried to reach into the toilet and catch them, but only caught one and down the rest went. The best part is that flushing seven knobs down the toilet is not the worst of it. When she told our supervisors they looked at us and said, "AGAIN?" I couldn't believe it! This has happened before? They then said, "at least you didn't flush the sponge too". HA! That did it for me. I was laughing for the next three hours. Incredible. At least it was an entertaining experience.
I have also been helping a friend out with some work at a local community theatre. We went to their Gala last Saturday and Kent actually performed in the program! He sang Surrey with the Fringe on Top from Oklahoma. He did the whole scene. He was really good and got a few directors requesting that he audition for the show next spring. It might end up being a conflict of interest though since it is looking like I will be directing the music. I guess we will see. Here are some fun pictures.
The stage was too dark to get a picture of Kent "in the act". too bad. Well. I've got to get some sleep before my 8 am class tomorrow. Night all.

7 Years and Funny Family Moments
We have now made it past the seven year itch. Our anniversary was March 15th. Kent took me to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner then to the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake and we got to stay in the Anniversary Inn Suite. It was a wonderful time. We watched foot loose - my first time seeing it if you can believe it. I gave him a bunch of "little things" meaning a bunch of little items (toys and candy) that were attached to typed notes that listed all the little things I loved about Kent. For example, the other morning, Kent got up really early to go hiking. He left while I was still in bed and while he thought I was still asleep, he touched my face, gave me a kiss and said, "You're beautiful". These are the little things I love. All right, I'll stop being mushy now.
Kent went on a 10 hour hike/bob cat tracking expedition last week including a fall off a 15 foot cliff. Him and his friend Kenny left at about 7:30 am from Fiddlers Canyon and while fully intending to end where they started, Kenny's wife and I ended up picking them up at about 5:30 or 6 pm in Cedar Canyon at the other end of town. They had crossed a few mountain ranges, many cliffs, much snow, and who knows what else. They weren't sure exactly where they would come out in the canyon, so they had us driving up and down for a while searching for them. I guess no matter the age, boys will be boys. Kent had quite the sun burn and some really muddy clothes, but he had a great time. I used to be that adventurous, what happened?
Funny Moment #1:
So I went to my dads house for the weekend and got to spend some time with my brother, sisters, niece and nephew. Some of the funniest things (well funny to me) happened. I was sitting at the table eating lunch with my niece and she looked at me and said, "Your hair is brown", after I confirmed her comment she then said, "my hair is stylish". Hmmm! I wonder what she meant by that?
Funny Moment #2
Later I was doing my hair and she came into the bathroom and asked me to ask her how I looked. I asked her, then she promptly replied, "You look Distinguished, Very Distinguished". She is only three years old! Where does she get this stuff?
Funny Moment #3
But the one that tops them all... We were over at my aunt and uncles house for an early Easter celebration and my nephew (2 years) and my cousins daughter (3 years) disappeared. When we found them, they had been in the bathroom each with a bottle of baby powder squirting it at each other. I didn't have my camera, but my sister did, so I will get some photos. The whole bathroom was dusted, the kids looked like ghosts, the carpet "poofed" as you walked across it and the heater vents carried the white dust throughout every room in the house. What can you do at that point but take a picture? It was so hilarious!
Other things we did:
We went shooting. It's been a really long time since I've done that and I realized that I can't shoot right eyed. So I switched to left handed shooting and hit all my targets after that. Maybe that is why I also shoot pool left handed. I can't wait to get my own 22 and join the gun owner world. We of course need to get jobs first so we can afford it. I colored in coloring books a lot, played some cards, went on a Pez scavenger hunt which was the adult version of an Easter eggs hunt. We were on teams and had to read the clues in the Pez and guess the word before the other teams. The Pez were so hard to find we didn't even find them all.
Here are some of the clues - see if you can guess the word....
- Oder less
- Colorless
- Inflate
- Firmament
- Public Utterance
- Particulate Matter
What do you think? Any luck? We guessed helium, hot air balloon, and balloon but to no avail. The answer was, drum roll please, air. Quite anti-climactic. It was too obvious for us to figure out. Finally another team guessed right and won the treasure chest full of treats. Fun stuff.
Well, I think that about does it for my update. I can't really think of anything else interesting to write so I'll sign off now.

Dodging Snails
Thanksgiving eve I decided to walk to the grocery store. I miss the seasons and it was lightly sprinkling outside. Not to mention - I didn't have a car. I got there in no time, and bought Kent's favorite pecan pie, but on my way home, the rain had called out an army of snails and slugs. Though I would not consider my self a snail lover, I'd rather not step on them. It took me twice as long to get home as I was dodging all the snails. About half way I got curious and started to count. 187 snails and slugs not to mention however many were on the first half of my trek home. Just as I was saying to my self. Whew! I only stepped on one snail I slipped on
something slimy that made a squeaky noise as it squished. I turned around to see a disgusting slug oozing out the back end. My shoe will never be the same.For Thanksgiving Kent and I went to the Herbert's house, another law school couple. The food was great, and we got to play karaoke on the Wii. Kent got the highest score singing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Of course, it was on the easy setting. What? I have to defend my self somehow. I'd only heard the song I sang a total of 4 times in my life. Some say I'm a sore looser, I'd say aggressively competitive. I think I'll change the subject now. Kent and I went shopping on black Friday - what a crazy idea! I've never done it before and I think I never will again. We got up at 4:15 am and were to Wal Mart by 4:50 only to be greeted by a line with no end and people yelling, "move to the back of the line". It was worse inside. I got hit by about four big screen TV's and fell into a bean bag chair trying to avoid being run over by a lady's cart - all while trying to keep up with Kent. All we wanted were two 8 GB flash drives at a discounted price. I don't think it was worth it. Then we went to Best Buy. It was better than Wal Mart, but not by much. Kent is happy to have the new Zune 120 though. He has spent all weekend loading movies and music onto it. He has been disjointed ever since his iPod broke. Okay - that is an overstatement. Well that was our Thanksgiving weekend. Oh, I almost forgot, last night I got food poisoning from the theater popcorn after seeing Twilight. I'm hoping to feel better SOON. Blah.
