So, I have been getting many requests to update the blog since the last one was done a little while ago. And I figured that a little Billy Idol in the title could do everyone good this Christmas season. The Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons are a time of year I like to reflect upon the things that I am grateful for, and one of the things that I am most grateful for in my life is my wife Bobbie. I am also grateful for the fact that she is pregnant with our first child!
Bobbie and I are not fans of doing things the easy/conventional way, we also have a tough time keeping exciting news a secret. We would have been able to hold out for a while but Bobbie was so sick that people at work were finding out, and we didn't want our families to be the last people to know. So we set out to decide how we were going to let people know our exciting news. One night as we sat racking our brains of a clever way to let the fam know, lightning struck our collective brain (thank you Mr. Smee)! Because of the proximity of the news to Halloween we thought it would be fun to dress up. Bobbie transformed into an oven and I became a lovable chef. We called upon the creative juices of Nancy and while my Dad and I went to Priesthood session for General Conference, Bobbie and my Mom created a masterpiece!
Genius! Bobbie was an oven in which we put a bun so that there was a "Bun in the oven," and I was a Chef so that I could be involved. Again, Genius! Or so I thought.
This post will now take a different direction which may call for a post of its own but I choose to discuss it here. Now I thought "Bun in the oven" was pretty telling but I was shocked at the lack of comprehension that we encountered on our journey. Really the only person who caught on immediately was Brandon Smith, either I underestimated Brandon or over-estimated everyone else. Linds you caught on quicker than others but everyone was a lot slower than I had anticipated. I wasn't shocked when Bobbie's little brother Troy gave the "I-don't-understand-why-others-are-laughing-so-I-will-chuckle" laugh and when Krystelle (Bobbie's aunt) asked when Bobbie was due he said "that's what that means?" But I was really disappointed in everyone else! Especially Zo who prides himself on being so clever probably took the longest to get what was going on, though it was funny enough to watch him figure it out that it was worth it. Sub par performance people!
There you have it folks another post. Enjoy it for the next few months =)
