Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers. - Homer Simpson

Today is my birfday! We had a great weekend...I wish I took pictures. This is definitely something we need to work on. I took for granted the fact that my dad is the photo-man. I leave the picture taking up to Richard since he's the one with the camera---but lately I've learned that I need to become the family historian. So I've been trying to write in our little journal on Sundays to update our lives. Time just goes by SO quickly! I just can't believe it!

One of the ladies, Jan, at the Beehive Home made me this cake during her shift! She is so sweet.

So Saturday (yesterday) Richard sneaked around all morning buying me a birthday present/ flowers with his sister Natalie. I thought he was at work. I was in Midvale getting my weddnig ring re-sized for the up-teenth time (sigh). Anyway, he ended up getting me some really soft pajamas, super cute. And his sister gave me a coupon for "sewing help on one project from start to finish". I am very stoked about that! And to top it off his family got me a gift-card for JoAnnes! So I will get to learn some sewing after-all!

Then at night we (Richard, me, Natalie) went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner with Dani & Todd & Nicholette (and Vivian) Millecam and Chris & Kristin Manning & Taylor. That was super fun, I'm so grateful everyone was able to come and celebrate. It was nice to enjoy some STEAK!

My parents had a birthday party at my grandma's today because it's my mom's birthday tommorow. I wish I could have been there, one of my favorite things to do is to go to my Grandma's house to have dinner with the whole family. My cousin Hannah has been in the hospital and I think that she is home now, getting much better. They don't even know what happened yet. Oh! And my parents got a puppy! It's a Cavalier or something strange like that mixed with a Bichon.

This is cute little Ginger. She's ADORABLE.

This week I had a couple interviews, one to be an equipment manager at BYUbroadcasting and another to work at the MTC. The BYUbroadcasting one fell through, but I got hired on-the-spot at the MTC! So I am very excited to be bossing the sister missionaries around and telling them what to clean on Saturday mornings. In the summer I will be doing it every day, but until then just 6am to 10am on Saturdays.
We also got the managing position at our new apartment complex, so this is fantastic! We will get $80 off our rent a month, which will definitely add up. It's only a 4plex, so it's not too much work to begin with enough to justify no rent at all.

The title of this post has to do with one of Richard's video game songs. I thought it was hilarious.

We each have a bajillion tests this week. I'm kind of scared.
