Popcorn in Church

We have Young Women first hour and Sacrament is third hour. Not all of the YW come with their families - I have two that consistently need rides and come without any parents. During Sacrament Meeting they usually all sit together with one of the girl's family. Today was the Primary Program - the best Sunday of the year! And I couldn't see any of the YW during the meeting, so when the kids got up to sing, I went on my teenager hunt. First place I checked - ladies room. Likely spot, but no luck. Second place to check - YW room? no luck either. So then as I was walking by the kitchen, I smelt popcorn - bingo! The door was locked - very sneaky. I politely knocked and there they were - 4 of the YW making popcorn during the middle of the meeting. Busted! Pretty clever, really...and I have no idea where they got the popcorn either? All I have to say is that they keep me on my toes.

Brandon accepted his summer associate position with Osborn Maledon in Phoenix, Arizona. This will most likely be the place we end up after law school and we are really excited. It will be semi-close to family and we already have some friends there. Hopefully we (I mean, I) can withstand the heat next summer!

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving Break! We are hosting Brandon's family - mom, dad, Chris, Kacie, Cannon, Kennedy, Rachel, Scott, Mason. They are renting an apartment here at Regents, so they will be in the same building as us. Wish me luck on Thanksgiving dinner!

Ha ha, Josh told me about the "popcorn episode." You do a great job at watching over those girls. Not an easy job! I'm excited for you guys going to Phoenix! We'll most likely visit in the summer, we'll have to get together! And if you have any questions about Phoenix...where to live, things to do, etc...just let me know!

That's great that you know where you will be this summer. We are heading to Phoenix for Thanksgiving. Bob's parents, his 5 siblings, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins all live down in that area. I'm sure that your young women just love you!

Popcorn at church is a great plan, why didn't I think of it ;) Maybe not in lieu of Sacrament meeting though. I can just hear you getting after them - you're fabulous!

Just remember that three of my very favorite young women were caught climbing out of the church windows on multiple occasions. (I also wouldn't have put it past them to make popcorn during sacrament meeting.) And even though they drove me crazy at times, I love them more than I ever knew I could. So even when your girls drive you crazy, just know that they love you and that you will love them forever--despite your troubles and trials.
