What The...?

Frequently Jarom and I are woken up either late at night or early in the morning due to our neighbor's loud talking and other various activities. Unfortunately, we try to leave the window open to cool down our house, which amplifies the noise that comes into our bedroom. Well, this morning, we were woken up with a very, ummm...special, treat.

At about 7:30, we started hearing weird noises over and over again. It sounded like low airy-grumblingness. Yeah, that's right. It would go for a few seconds, then stop for a few seconds, repeated over and over again. I thought it was some kind of cleaning truck on the street or something. Jarom says, "man, it sounds like they're blowing up a hot-air balloon!" Finally, we decided we wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, so we got up. Upon looking out of our window, the reaction went something like this: "WHAT THE?!?!?" Yeah. Turns out Jarom was right on. They were blowing up a hot air balloon in their FRONT YARD. Has anyone ever seen a balloon on the ground? It is bigger than everything. Bigger than they're entire house and yard. I have no idea how they decided to get it there and then successfully get it there and blown up. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of it, so you just have to imagine what this balloon would like like in the front yard of an old house in the middle of college-town Provo.
Ok, so it didn't really look like this one, but I thought this was pretty awesome anyways. Ours was just a normal looking balloon, and everyone already knows what those look like.

I love how Jarom guessed it correctly... because that was so random! Hope you guys are doing well.

I really don't believe it happened. You're just trying to lure me by making Provo sound so much more exciting than Rexburg.

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...

Cake 2.0

Here is our second attempt at fondant covered, decorated cake. We're still working on getting things smoother looking and stuff. It's a chocolate cake with caramel filling. Unfortunately the caramel didn't turn out quite like it was supposed to. It turned into basically sugar. It's probably because I was lazy and used margarine instead of butter. But it's still sweet and that's what's important right?

Going Away Present

Tomorrow is going to be my last day of work at good old Independent Study. It's kind of sad, but also kind of exciting and scary all at the same time. It's sad because I've been here for so long. This is the longest I've ever had one job, and I have made a lot of really good friends here. It's exciting because I will get to have a lot of time off to do whatever I want during the day! And it's scary because I don't have another job lined up yet. After 6 months of applying and interviewing, I'm still none the better for it. I was lucky enough to have one co-worker who cared enough about me and my departure to give me a going-away present. I don't really know why I'm sharing it with you, but here it is: This is the picture he used as a reference to update mine with: Any resemblance? It took him two days to create this picture. He said I was wise enough to become a General Authority. I told him I would have to be a man for that. So he decided to mak...
