I was a little apprehensive about the weekend stay at her house. She and I have always been polar opposites and we have our stories of fights and bruises. Evelyn's husband is in the Army and is deployed to Iraq right now so it was like a huge slumber party. Poor Ethan was the only boy!
The weekend was so much fun and it was great getting to interact with my sister mom to mom. I really like her house and her...CABLE TV!! Cody and I are not TV watchers and only have one half functioning TV in our house. We don't have cable, and I don't see us ever getting it in the future. But Evelyn has several TVs in her house, including a nice big flat screen in the living room and a good one in her bedroom. They also have a million cable channels and I was an instant addict. She gave me her bed and she slept in the living room to supervise the slumber party each night. I stayed up very late each night because I was mesmerized by all the programs on TV. I am so glad we don't have that luxury because I would never get any house work done and my family would starve!
On Friday we went to the mall and had lunch. Then we window shopped and bought a few things. My favorite store was the Texas store. There is one of those in most malls and it never gets old.
Funny story while we were at the mall. Ev was standing in line (forever) to get the kids some cookies. A super rude guy blatantly cuts in front of her and she stood there like "did he really just do that??" Other people in line were bugged too. The guy was terrible and gets up to the front and starts a massive order while his wife is standing there nagging him to death. The two are arguing in front of everyone.
Ev says something to the guy and he just glances over his shoulder and doesn't say anything. She stands there for another minute in disgust, then she couldn't hold it in anymore and she called him a foul name and storms off. Fast forward to church two days later. Ev and I are sitting in Sacrament Meeting and you would never guess who is sitting right in front of us. Rude guy, Rude guy's wife, and Rude Guy's four kids!! What a small world we live in, considering this is not Utah so randomly bumping into other church members is odd. Needless to say things will likely be awkward when they see each other at church from here on out.

I was wondering when your next update would be. And it looks like you've been busy. And YES, I would love to see that sign on your door! That would be awesome :)
Looks like you are having such a blast! I am so glad. I laughed out loud about the rude guy story. Yeah, church is going to be just a little awkward now!
Ok, I love that sign. I think you should totally hang it on your door!
I love Lauren's new shoes!! They are adorable!
