Night time Adventure

Every night someone in our house gets to sleep with our dog Maggie. Last night was my turn and in the middle of the night I woke up and found her whining at the door. I figured she might have to go to the bathroom, so I took her through the back door of the laundry room (which is connected to my room) and walked out with her, closing the door behind me. When Maggie finished "doing her thing", I went to go back inside. I put my hand on the doorknob *(pause for suspense) and discovered the door was locked.

I have always been sure to make sure the dead-bolt but not the doorknob lock was fastened, but then I remembered that it had been Ben who locked that door before bed. I was locked out. I walked around the boat parked in the driveway to the front door, praying that someone had forgotten to lock it before bed. No luck. I went around to the back to try and get in the back door. Still no luck. I finally resolved to knock on Ben's window to wake him up, but when I got there I noticed that the screen was missing from the window. Knowing that it was probably locked I mustered up all the luck left inside of me and slid the window open. SUCCESS!! I climbed through the window making a lot of noise but Ben just went on sleeping. I went back around to let Maggie in the front door and we both went back to bed grateful that we weren't going to spend the night on the front porch. 

Regressive Dinner

Tonight for mutual we had a "regressive dinner". Basically it's a progressive dinner (a dinner in which you travel from house to house eating a different course at each one) but backwards; making root beer floats first and h'orderves last. It was all put together by my wonderful aunt (young woman's president) Vansesa Read. We started out all going for root beer floats and then we went to the Teemsmas for lasagna. We then headed over to Vanesa's house for salad and finally back to the church for the h'ordervers. Throughout the whole experience we chatted with one another and got to know people better. To help "break the ice" Vanesa had a bunch of slips with questions on them. My slip said (you will only think this is funny if you really know me), "If you had to clean a house which job would you like to do most." I pretty much love to clean ANYTHING (except the bathroom and kitchen floor) so this was a toughy for me. So we had a really good time with lots of good food and good company. Thanks to everyone who put it on! 

Blogging

So, yes. I'm blogging. I'm not sure how well this will work because I'm not a very good writer, and I will probably forget about it and never come back. I can't promises you will enjoy reading what I write, but if you love me at all you'll keep up with it anyways.
