Warming Up

So when I use to life guard and teach lessons during the summer, we would always keep the freezer in the guard office stocked with otter pops. We even had a rotating schedule and it really did keep most of us alive some days. I could go through like 10 in one day and as a staff we would go through boxes and boxes. Well since it is usually 112 degrees on an average summer day in Mesa, I associate otter pops with HOT, DEATHLY, WANTING TO DIE weather.

So for lunch I decided to go to the Cougar Eat in the Wilk and as I was walking there I noticed that BYUSA (bless their little hearts) were handing out otter pops and I couldn't help but kind of laugh. It is 61 degrees outside right now and that is an all time high right now for us. So I guess to celebrate the warm weather, they are handing out otter pops. There you have it folks. Warm weather for us is 61 degrees and therefore otter pops are a much needed "cool off" snack. I didn't eat one. I refuse to eat an otter pop in 60 degree weather.

I was actually thinking I should have brought my jacket on my walk to the Wilk. Guess I still have Arizona blood running through me.

Have a happy Saturday! My Mom is in town for a whole week!!

Is it April 24th yet??

LOST

I think it
is fair to say
that I have a small crush
on this man:

Yep I am pretty sure
I underestimated
the power of season DVD addiction.

Too bad it's cutting into my sleep time.

Oh Reality Television!

Ok first of all, who watched The Bachelor Monday night? By the time it was done, I was emotionally exhausted. Me, Amy, Mckell and Lena were glued to the TV and I was shocked, to put it lightly, when he dumped Melissa and then asked Molly to take him back. I was at first pretty ticked but you just have to believe that he really was trying to do the right thing and not lead her on. But he kept saying how things were so different after the show ended with Melissa and duh! You were living in a dream world. Anyone can fall in love in New Zealand. I guess we will wait and see how long they last. But the good news is, Jillian is the next Bachelorette!! Yay!! I loved Jillian.

And Dallin got his Eagle last week. Here are a few pictures of the family. But my mom told me she was kind of sad at his Court of Honor because she has done scouting with my 3 brothers for so long and now she is done and is kind of sad. I can still remember when Danny was the first and he was like 10 and he use to drive my Mom crazy becuase he was so hyper and loud and would interupt all the pack meetings. Which would surprise you now with how mellow he is.

Kaden and Dallin

Danny and Dallin.

Jackson turned 1 last week!

I can't wait to see them for my graduation!

Could it be any worse??

A Mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to "Mom". With the worst premonition she opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.

Dear Mom,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it's not only the passion...Mom she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy. In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it. Don't worry Mom. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.

Love, Your Son

Paul

P.S. Mom, none of the above is true. I'm over at Dustin's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that's in my center desk drawer. I love you. Call me when it's safe to come home.

Haha!! This is so something my brother Spencer would do.

Have a good weekend!!

So who's it gonna be?

I am a total Bachelor fan! My roommates and I have been very loyal this season and I am always in a hurry to get home from my anatomy lab to sit my rear end in front of the television from 7-9pm on Mondays. And I loved Jason when he was on the Bachelorette and then dumb Diana sent him home. She was absolutely crazy. But anyways, I am very excited for next week and to see who he finally chooses. I loved Jillian and I was shocked when she went home last week but I can't decide who I like better. I kind of like Melissa and Molly the same but I guess I see him more with Melissa. Oh the anticipation is killing me.
