We are alive just busy

Life has been crazy as always lately but we are alive. Joe is in Macbeth right now (which is going to run a third week- tickets for that go on sale tomorrow morning) which keeps him very busy. We had our Chinese new year party a couple of weeks ago which was a fun excuse for a party with yummy food- kitchen ala Lesley. For Valentines day we went up to West Yellowstone after church and Joe cooked our stakes and we just relaxed and by monday afternoon we were back to Rexburg and Joe was at work and then rehearsal- yet again. Tuesday was invited dress for the show and it was very impressive and Joe says it is getting better. I am going again this thursday. Wednesday of this coming week is our Blue and Gold Banquet which I am very nervous about, especially because Joe won't be there but the food is ordered so we should be ok- if all else fails there will be food, probably too much food but i'm always worried about not having enough. We're doing a pirate theme which should be fun. Did you know this year makes 100 years of BSA? Anyways that's our life right now busy as always but somehow we will survive!

2 years ago

2 years ago from today was a sunday and during church i sat next to one of my roommates and her boyfriend. that day the ward choir performed "Oh My Father" which is my favorite hymn. I love music (especially singing) and that day a guy had a solo in the choir. I mentioned to my roommate that he had a good voice and with that she ran! Her boyfriend happened to be that guys best friend and through much discussion (and forcing i think) he talked that singer into coming to my apartment after church with them and asking me out.

The conversation went something like this:

J: hi Lesley

L: hi

J: so um. are you doing anything tomorrow night?

L: FHE

J: oh ah yeah... ummm well what about after FHE?

L: nothing

J: Well would you like to join jake and becca and me for some wii playing and watching a movie?

L: sure that sounds fun

J: ok. bye

L thinking.... he's kinda cute and the fact that he was nervous and holding his hands behind his back didn't hurt either... plus there's the good voice....

and then giddyness set in... other than the fact he never told me when he was picking me up...

=) i love you Joe
