What Color Is Your Cell Phone? What Does It Say About You?

I have an orange cell phone and this is what it supposedly says about me. Do you think it's right?!?

Orange

Optimistic and attention getting.

Got an orange phone? You're likely to be gregarious, energetic and optimistic, says Eiseman. (You could also be overly loud and frivolous--two negative connotations of vibrant orange.) Orange is an attention-grabbing color, catching people's eyes, as well as stimulating their taste buds with thoughts of tangy, juicy fruit.

The New Prophet & His Counselors

Today it was announced that President Thomas S. Monson is the new President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know that he'll do an amazing job and that the church will continue to progress with him as our prophet. He chose President Henry B. Eyring to be his 1st councelor and Dieter F.Uchtdorf as his 2nd counselor. I wasn't surprised by Pres. Eyring but I was by Pres. Uchtdorf. He's only been an aspostle for about 3 1/2 years but during that short time I've been impressed with his talks during general conferences. So I guess when I look at it that way, I'm not surprised at all. I think Pres. Uchtdorf being called to this position just shows how international the church is and how the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been spread worldwide. I sustain these wonderful men who are now at the head of Christ's church.

I'm Feeling Down :(

I know this may sound really silly to some of you but I am feeling very down today. It's odd how some things effect me. The cause of my somber mood is due to the death of Heath Ledger.


I know! I know! I didn't even know the guy BUT I have always liked his work. Infact, he has been on my "favorite guy actor list" since I first saw him act in "10 things I hate about you", which I LOVED!! And then when he showed up in The Patriot with blond hair, I thought, "wow, he's pretty hot!". He's been in several other movies such as "A Knight's Tale", "Casanova", and the gay cowboy movie, which I didn't see. Anyway, I suppose this is my little tribute to him.

I think I may start making T-shirts with my new slogan.

Anyone interested in buying one?!? :)

"Are you sure?"

Yesterday I was sustained in my new calling as Relief Society President (it seems weird to be even typing that). When my Bishop extended the call to me a few weeks ago, I was shocked. I had a feeling it was coming due to some comments made to me but I couldn't understand how it could be. So after regained my composure and I was able to close my gaping open mouth, I asked, "Are you sure?", that's all I could come up with to say. And of course he said he was sure and so off I went to find my new counselors. After a short while I finally had my counselors, Ashley Hanks as my 1st & Jennifer Brimhall as my 2nd and my secretary is Amy Hampton (she was at the Ball's Halloween party-one of the single ladies, the gypsy). I thought I was going to pass out when I got sustained, I even told the Bishop to have some sort of cushion there for me to land on, but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The "bad" part came when I had to conduct for the first time in Relief Society!! Talk about an idiot! I couldn't get my thoughts or words straight no matter how hard I tried. I am so grateful Ashley has to do it next week. Everyone told me I did fine but I know they were just trying to make me feel better about looking like a total fool in front of everyone BUT I'm thankful for their attempt to make me feel better. I have great friends and I'm thankful for them :) So, now the fun begins, YIKES...please keep me in your prayers!! :)

"Buddy" and his New Love!! (Dec 14th, 2007)

Our little guy found a new toy while snooping around the Christmas tree. My visiting teaching partner, Katie Stoddart, had given us a roll of wrapping paper that said something like "We hope your Christmas 'wraps' up nice". I thought it was a very cute idea!! Anyway, Gabe found the wrapping paper and wouldn't put it down. Here are a few pics of him and his new love :)




Isn't he cute?!? I thought this relationship would've lasted a long time, I mean, who would be silly enough to not want Gabers as a new love?!? But I have sad news, it only lasted this one evening and then is was over:( Better luck next time wrapping paper...I know the one for you is out there somewhere :)

Aaron Ball's Birthday Party...I Think He's Like 45 or Something :)

Catey threw a surprise party for Aaron's birthday on December 7th, 2007. It would have been a total surprise if Jacob (his little 4 yrs old) hadn't mentioned Catey buying balloons for someone's birthday but hey, it was a good try. The party was a lot of fun!

Here are the couples that attended the fiesta buena...

The man of the hour, Aaron, with his lovely wife Catey.

Bishop (Sterling) and his lovely wife Michelle.

Justin and his lovely wife Rheanna and their adorable little baby boy, Alec.

Steve and his lovely wife Ashley

Last but not least, Greg and I.

We all played pool, which was a lot of fun. I can't remember who the champions were ( I just know it wasn't Greg and I) so if you were present and remember who won the "pool showdown" please let me know :) Here are some pics. of us playing pool...

The birthday boy showing off his fancy moves. Now, if only he would have made the ball in the pocket :)

This is the "incognito" player. She convinced everyone that she'd never played pool before. Then she gets up there and blows everyone away. We were all dumb-founded. She had to come clean and informed us that she played pool alot in college.

Greg will not be happy that I'm sharing this pic (I always seem to have those of him, don't I?). This is a funny shot because he was just sitting there, posing for my camera, when out of nowhere Steve's cue stick smacked into Greg's cue stick causing it to smack him in the face. The picture was taken as that exact moment! Pretty good timing, I must admit!

After pool, these three guys started showing off their juggling talents. I was pretty impressed!!

L-R: Aaron, Steve, and Bishop

After pool and the juggling act we all settled into a game similar to Charades. I'm not fond of these kind of games but I went along with it anyway. We all made fools of ourselves and I've got pictures to prove it!!

Here's Catey shoving her fingers in her mouth and yet she still looks great doing it! Totally not fair!!

Here I am doing some sort of Egyptian type movement. NOT so hot!!

This is great... I love it! Greg is doing his "riding a pony" dance. Very sexy!!

Here's Rheanna trying to multi-task. Not only is she playing a game, she's getting in some exercise as well. Very good strategy!!

This is the last of my tons of photos from the party. This is the "bonding" shot. Steve and Greg were a couple of "twinkies". They both had on stripy blue shirts with jeans. They claimed it wasn't planned but I'm not sure! I'm beginning to wonder if they are starting a click. You know, "you can't be our friend unless you dress cool like us" kind of thing. HMMMMM...I'll keep my eye on them!
