So much to catch up on!

I've been meaning to write this blog for the past two weeks! I'll start at the beginning, Richard's singing quartet(Richard, Cory, Mark, Dave) got together for a ward party of Mark's and sang "Lean on Me", it was so good! They sound so wonderful and if I can figure out how to put their music on this site I'll do it! Here is a picture of them singing, aren't they cute?
Here's a picture of Cory's wife Patty-Anne and I in the audience listening to our men, the next picture is of all us wives:

From that performance we got into our car and went straight to a get
together of my old and current co-workers. We met at my former boss's Craig's house and played the funniest game in the world, it's called Quelf. The point of the game is to be the first to the end, but you have to do a ton of embarrassing or awkward things along the way. BUY IT, you'll love it! Here's a pic of all of us:

Funny story! We were in the middle of playing when Craig's son came into the room, Craig said he was just sleep walking and not to mind him. Well his son went straight into the kitchen, opened a drawer and started to go to the bathroom in it! Craig ran into the room and woke up the poor kid to take him downstairs, the drawer was filled with papers and a phone book, all wet. That's a story to tell his future girlfriends...

This past weekend we went to see the comedic opera Pirates of Penzance, our friend Dave was the main character in it. Holy crap! It was so good! I wish that they were doing more performances, I'd go a few more times if I could. Right afterwards we went to see the new "Eagle Eye" movie which is awesome, I recommend it to any and everyone, then poor Richard got about 4 hours of sleep before he had to be at work the next day :(

Random photo opportunity! Who wouldn't want to pose lext to an enourmous pumpkin made entirely of soda boxes?

I'm leaving for Frederick, Maryland tomorrow to babysit my little sister while my parents go on a cruise (poor Richard! all of you who read this blog should call him, make sure he's eating more than just cottage cheese and crackers!). I can't wait, it'll be nice to catch up with some old friends. I'll tell you more about that when I return, Love you all!

It's been awhile since we've blogged! We have a few funny and not so funny stories to share. Let's start with the funny. This past Labor Day Weekend we didn't do much of anything (which was wonderful), but when we were throwing around ideas of what we could do I suggested that we just jump in the car and go to Vegas, maybe visit my brothers. Richard looked very concerned and said, "Well that might be fun but I don't think it would be good to just pop in on them, isn't Labor Day just a Utah holiday? They'll be at work"... :) He's too cute. On a personal note I was laying in bed the other day, about to take a nap and Richard came to kiss me goodbye before he left for work. We started kissing and I fell asleep and woke up to him still kissing me. Awkward! I'm still in the doghouse a little with that one.

Okay a more serious note! Richard shot his gun at work the other day. I'll let him tell that story:

I shot a deer.

I guess I'll tell the story then since Richard's laughing. He went on a call and a deer got caught trying to jump over a spiked fence. Animal control couldn't get there anytime soon so Richard had to shoot it. I feel bad for the deer but at the same time I'm kind of glad that the first time Richard had to use his gun was on an animal rather than a person. Richard also got a little action at work today, he had to jump four eight foot tall fences and run to catch this bad guy who was wanted for aggravated assault with a knife. He had to put "the hurt" on him a few times to make him comply. Go Richard!

In our non-work lives, Richard is back with his singing group "4our"(?) and he's sounding great! If I figure out how to put some of their songs on the blog I will (anyone who knows how to do that please tell me how). I have joined a book club and this month we're reading "Book of a Thousand Days". Hope it's good!

We've included some pictures below of our apartment, it's all decorated for fall! Please ignore our bedroom, we've never decorated it and the second room is just storage, enjoy!
