Homecoming....He's going!

Jared hasn't been a kid that has wanted to go to dances or on dates.  He has said that he just doesn't want a girlfriend until after his mission.  He's a smart kid.  My kids have all listened pretty good to that advice.  When Jared was a sophomore he went to Homecoming because he was one of the older kids and I think he thought it would be cool to date when so many couldn't. ☺  I don't think he has gone to a dance since, but he is going to Homecoming this year.  The other day he came home and asked me for any ideas.  For some reason this popcorn idea "popped" in my head.  He filled the bowl with some cans of pop with his initials on the bottom of the cans.  He found some "pops" suckers and topped it off with popcorn.  Super easy, fast and inexpensive.

Tonight there was a knock at the door and he got his reply.  When the girl was dropping off her reply Larry just happened to pull in and the girls were trapped.  Larry talked to them and they laughed and then they knocked.  I heard the knock but thought Jared had just hit the wall a few times so no one hurried to the door.  Larry came in and asked if we heard a knock.  So funny!

Jared's invite just said "I'm just going to POP the question....Will you go to Homecoming with Me?"  The Reply was: "I got so excited that you asked me to H.C. that I peed on your porch."

Catching Up With Beth

I haven't just sat and visited with Beth for years.  Today we decided would be a good time to do so.  I picked her up and we went to Costa Vida for lunch.  It was fun hearing about her kids and the things they are doing.  It was just nice catching up.  Beth only had three places that we could go to lunch because a few months ago after a real scar she found out she is allergic to eggs.  She had a seizure and the paramedics were called and had to work on her.  She had a list of all the medicine's that she is allergic to and one of the paramedics noticed that they all had egg in them.  Who Knew?  I seriously didn't know egg was in so many things....medicine?  Anyway it was a good thing the 'wise guy' noticed and that she can avoid eggs.

I like Beth.  Beth was my secretary when I was the Relief Society President.  She had a few major surgeries during her call and didn't show up very much but I didn't have her released...we just made things work without her.  I didn't ever want her to feel like we were giving up on her.  I'm glad that is how we handled it.  Beth is very nice and smart and I like her.

I saw a few of my friends at lunch today as well.  Kellie Cooke's grand daughter turned 3 today and it is her favorite place to eat and so her mommy, aunt, cousins and grandma all went to lunch.  (we saw Kara and her kids so many times yesterday it was crazy...so when I saw her again today I had to Laugh Out Loud)
