The Wall=  the place every student is about to discover when fall semester rolls around. BYU finally created a cool place on campus. Lame to awesome in .1 seconds on the bottom floor of the  Wilk.

We had a super fun Friday night double-date with Cody and Markie and saw the stand up comedy group Left Field, which is the professional version of Humor U. We saw Steven Jones who did the hilarious HBLL- Axe video parody.

Here's a great video of Steven Jones pretending to be on the treadmill at the gym with his iPod on shuffle.

Family Home Evening. For the first times since our singles-student ward days this actually describes our Monday nights. And Mondays are better and worse than singles ward days. Before somebody was assigned to plan a lesson, bring treats and basically do something. But now FHE are way more important and fun because it is an investment in our family.

We done some fun ones like writing a gratitude list, and coming up with ways to serve each other. But we really got creative when David came up with the awesome idea to throw in a little family history flair a couple weeks ago.

Here's what we did:

Step 1: Go to campus and walk to the library and grab a computer. Look up the book.

Step 2: Find the book and take it to a quiet place to read. 

Step 3: Be wowed by interesting stories (Great-grandma didn't have an ear canal??) (Great-grandpa first asked out Grandma on a dare- so cute)

Step 4: Put the book back and head out. But not before shenanigans in the elevator and standing on a scary and ginormous grate by the unground parking. Yeah, we live life on the edge.

It was fun; we really enjoyed looking through and reading the beginning of the Tingey book. David's grandma compiled the book and published a book of her parent's lives with pictures, interviews, and lots of fun stories. We were glad it made it into the BYU library so we could go check it out!

Laura is finishing her killer semester and for one of her final projects in accounting we had to go to a restaurant and estimate all the costs associated with a meal. So, Saturday morning we decided to go to Kneaders for french toast. It was great, we had a fun time getting out of the house for breakfast and being counted among the crowd that goes to Kneaders for French Toast.

I wasn't really feeling something sweet for breakfast, I wanted something a bit more savory, but they don't have much on their breakfast menu. After looking at what everyone was eating that morning in the restaurant, I saw that 95% of the people had French Toast sitting on their plate, so I decided I had to sample it and I could just get a side of bacon to fulfill my manly food cravings.

Then Laura and I went to Tooelle and visited Annette, Charles and kids. We also got to see their giant dog Duke, he is a beast. Unfortunately we forgot to take pics, just like we always forget to take pictures when we do cool things. The Martin's backyard, although it be just dirt, looks like it is really starting to take shape with the fence and their master plan of creating an awesome hang-out place with different levels and trees and what not, you will have to visit for them to explain the plan.

Shout out to Sandra Wright, my awesome mom! Today is her birthday! She is still in St George, and not only is she teaching the gospel with Larry, but she is also in charge of a bunch of young women. And of course she is doing an awesome job employing the new young men/women curriculum and using such hip technology like her ipad to show church videos, and her iphone to mass text and stay in touch with all her girls.
