Well I'm back. Another UMARMY for the record books. What a wonderful week!! My group, Red B, along with many others, scarped and painted the Taj Mahal of UMARMY projects!! It was totally insane... BUT .. The house looks stinking amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a better looking white house with black trim and grey porch (ah that good ol umarmy standard..) !! And I have to add in here that our color group leader and assistant were totally amazing -- So much thanks goes out to Alan Rudd and Andrew Schulz for being amazing encouraging and awesome !!! You guys totally rocked the kasbah this week even if the sharif don't like it!! :o)

We had many good times (too late in the evening to really even think right now) and we laughed with each other and at each other quite a bit. Michael and Patrice taught even us white kids how to flow and make nonsense sound amazing. The Don set up and humiliated Lauren B-Dev and Brian's number was released to the common people. So funny.... !! :o)

I can't post pics right now because I'm not on my computer. Yeah, for whatever insane reason, I agreed to stay with the three Smith boys for 4 nights this week. Not so smart considering it started tonight, the night DIRECTLY after umarmy. Oh well.. I'm sure I'll live.

Well .. I think that's all I have for now. In approximately 6 days, Ryan and Kristin get married and in 7 days, Ginger and Wendy come back to CS. I can't believe it's the end of July almost!! AHHHH .... So much is going on soon - brothers' birthday, moving in, moving out . . . starting work.. Oh my!

Good night all -

Ya know, I don't fully understand what it is about this apartment, but for some reason, Mormon missionaries are attracted to it. Now, I have respect for these men and women for going out and getting their beliefs into homes, because that carries some serious faith right there. Anyways, if you'll recall, I had some male Mormon visitors in January and we had quite the conversation. And about 10 minutes ago, I had 2 female missionaries come knockin!! I didn't want to turn them away, because they were really nice and not all that creepy, but I was just not in the mood for another long talk. I felt kinda bad, but I just didn't want to fight that fight today. I wished them luck and closed the door.

Sorry I haven't been posting lately . . . I don't have a lot to say!! I haven't done a whole lot or thought much recently. It's been somewhat nice! Haha

UMARMY is next week, so I'll probably have some good stuff to say then! Maybe I'll post some Barnabas pics tonight . . .
