Funny Stories

K, I have had some really funny things happen the last couple weeks and I wanted to share two of them.

One story happened on a Saturday afternoon when I decided to run to good old WalMart. I was with my little brother and we were speed walking to the back because we were in a hurry. But, if any of you really know me, I will stop anything for free food. On the way to the back of the store, I see this lovely sample booth for pizza. So, of course, we stopped to get a sample. The lady who was keeping the stock of pizza samples up to consumption, all of a sudden says loudly in my face, "How old are you?" Being 23, I ignore her because she couldn't possibly be speaking to me, and I go to grab my sample and she says it again in my face, "How old are you?" I look at her puzzled and I say, "Are you talking to me?" She says, "I am just making sure that you are at least 18, because if not, then you need an adult to accompany you because you may be allergic to something in this sample." I look at her in awe and respond with my age and she was totally embarrassed. So, we got our samples and left the store laughing all of the way home.

The next story happened while I was working. I had to run to the bank. I pulled up in one of the pull throughs and I see this older guy parked in his car next to me. We had eye contact and smiled politely. I sent the deposit in and I was sitting in my car waiting. Next thing that I know, there is this terribly annoying fly in my car. I am watching it fly around hoping that it will go out of my driver's window. It ends up landing, so conveniently, on the passenger window. I am staring at it, wondering what I could hit it with. I then realized that the guy thought that I was staring at him, and not the fly on the window. I quickly look away and am avoiding and ignoring him as best as I can. This lasted only a few seconds and then the fly started on his adventure again and I started to follow his path again. The fly starts flying toward the passenger window again and I have a brilliant plan that if I have two window's open, then I have a better chance of that darn fly getting out. I start to roll the passenger window down, and again realize that the older man thinks that I am rolling the window down to talk or something. He is just staring at me and has this look on his face. I quickly roll the window back up and luckily I was saved! My deposit receipt had just come back and I sped away.

Holy Cow!! Sorry man, I wasn't staring at you...I just wanted the fly out of my car!! hahaha

UPDATE!!!

I know that's an original title, but hey, it's been a while since I have blogged and after all, it is an update.
First off: We bought a house!!! We are sooo excited.

This is our cute little house! We haven't moved in yet because we are fixing some things first. We will post some before and after pictures after we are done. The house is in Provo, in a neighborhood off of Center Street on your way to the lake. So far, the neighbors are absolutely amazing! Oh, and I can't wait to invite you guys over to see it. I'll even make you dinner :)

Second: I started a new job and I love it! I work at L&T Construction in the office. I do accounting, I answer the phones, and I assist the project manager/president/v.p in whatever they need. I really like it! I still work at my old job (Prototyping Management Corp) a couple hours a week, keeping up with all of their accounting. It works out so nicely cause then I earn a little extra moola, which is always nice.

Third: McKenna, my cute sister, is ENGAGED!!! She is getting married in December and moving into the apartment that we were living in.

Anyway, that's a short update, but an update nonetheless.
