A Night in the Life of the Decker's

I wish to write about our night last night. It came with a few interesting..quirks. First, we found out just how un-sound proof our ceiling is. Apparently one of the girls upstairs has turned nocturnal, because all night long she was texting on her phone. She even had the phone on vibrate, but we could hear every time the phone vibrated through the ceiling. This happened every 2-3 minutes for about... 6 hours. Jarom never could fall asleep, so at 1 am he gave up and left. I would feel bad complaining to them though, because she really wasn't being inconsiderate. I 'm sure she had no idea that the people under her could hear her vibrating phone. But we could.

The second weird thing was a dream that I had. I often have weird dreams. Sometimes they are pretty scary, sometimes they make no sense. I'm sure everyone can relate. Last night I had a dream about a monstrous, ginormous, furry bee. It flew into our bedroom. It was probably a quarter of a foot big. And fat. And fuzzy. And did I mentiong HUGE!?!?!?! So I screamed at Jarom to kill it while I tried to hide under the blankets. Jarom successully swatted it with our plastic fly swatter. Unfortunately a flimsy plastic fly swatter is no match for a beastly bee. So all it did was launch this steriod bee straight at me. It landed right on my neck, in my hair. It was still alive and moving and furry and GROSS! I was so terrifed that I couldn't even scream.

I was more like convulsing trying to get it out of me but I couldn't and I didn't know if it would sting me or what. Finally I decided to sit straight up in bed so the bee would stay on the pillow no longer touching me. This is when I woke up. Sitting up in bed. Still cringing and nervous to lay back down.

I've always had this theory that people never actually sit straight up as they wake up from a bad dream--that it only happens in movies and on tv. You just disproved that.

Also, my word verification today is: sisters

Usually it's just random letters and possibly numbers. Interesting.

I like how you said "quarter of a foot" as opposed to 3 inches. It makes it sound scarier.

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...
