Conference Weekend

So, Friday we were bored and decided to go up to the Hill Air Force Base Museum.  Neither of us have been there since we were young grasshoppers.  We drive past it all the time.  Every time we drive past we say that we need to go there.  So on Friday, we did.  They have some pretty cool stuff there.

What is this thing behind Spencer?  Is that a phone booth?  Wow!

A really, really, really, big helicopter.

Saturday we took a drive.  It was fun.  Every Conference Saturday we take a long drive and listen to Conference.  I have family from down in Southeastern Utah.  We usually head North, but decided to change it up a little.  This is the Vernal Temple.  The Steak Center next door is twice the size.  I think it is really pretty though.

Here is the snow storm that we got caught in on our way home.  I thought we were going to die.  The roads were so slick.

Spencer's parents were able to get some tickets to the Sunday morning session of General Conference.  Spencer and I lucked out, we are the only ones in the family without kids so it was an easy pick I guess since they had four tickets and there was only two of us.  JK  Every one else probably turned them down.  Spencer and I have never been.  It is really hard to get tickets when you live in Utah. We had to be in our seats way early.  Conference doesn't start until 10 am but the Mo Tab has there Music and the Spoken Word right before.  We were in our seats by 8:30.  It was a great experience.  We had really close seats too.

April Fools

So, let's face it I like jokes and I like to have a little fun.  April Fools has been on my mind for a while.  I wanted to do something that would be a nice surprise.  Something that everyone could enjoy.  Everyone knows all the little tricks like taping down the phone receiver, and putting a rubber band around the sink sprayer.  I went the night before and bought 200 feet of aluminum foil.  We got to work early and some of my co-workers helped my foil our managers entire desk.   

If that wasn't enough we had some foil left over. What to do, what to do?  So we decided to do the big boss' office. 

So we decided to wait until the next day to play a little trick on one of our loan counselors.   This idea I got from Spencer.  We handed him a little sticky note that said

Please call Myra Maines

801-***-****

Myra Maines

 has been calling for you and

wants you to call back

So of course he calls and we are all watching.  The number we gave him was to a mortuary.   Get it now?!  He calls, asks for Myra Maines and sits there for a minute.  We hear him say to the person on the other line.  OK will you just have her call Trevor.... What?  So we are sitting there thinking, did he actually call?  later I decided that I just needed to know what was going on, so I asked.  Turns out he was fooled, but in return fooled us.  He had called and asked for Myra Maines.  The good sport man at the Laverkin Mortuary, told him to turn around, that someone was probably laughing behind him and he needed to get us back for the prank we had pulled on him.  I can only imagine how many mortuaries get that call.  Our Counselor smoothly hung up the phone and said OK will you just have her call Trevor back.  Then proceeded to tell us she was on break and would call back.  It was hilarious!  I guess you had to be there.

Bathroom

Yeah my bathroom is all painted!  I could not choose a color for so long.  Finally I decided to go find a shower curtain I really liked choose a color from there.  I got the shower curtain and hundreds of swatches of paint colors.  I had picked out the perfect match to the blue flowers on the curtain.  I was going to send Spencer out the door to get the paint with my perfect swatch.... and then I changed my mind.  I was looking at the package from the shower curtain and decided that I liked a color on there better.  So, as Spencer is walking out the door I hand him the new swatch and ask him to have Lowe's match the color.  I love the color!  I love the bathroom.  Now all I need is the tile, baseboards, vanity installed, and a mirror.

Tuesday

Tuesday we decided to go to dinner with my brother and sister in-law that live in Logan.  We wanted to go to the Timbermine.  You may ask... why not wait until the weekend?  Well they only have their BBQ nights Monday through Wednesday.  Spencer and Bryan love their BBQ nights.  Jen and I on the other hand love their steak smothered with mushrooms.  After a great dinner we headed over to Jake's Over the Top for their shakes.  I of course could only eat 1 tenth of the shake.  It was really good though.
