Linger longer

(Taras’ point of view) We got hooked up today in church with candy, cookies, and a linger longer. (munch and mingle) We just got our heating bill and now anything free I am going to take advantage of. I was first in line, got my food, and when my plate was empty they were saying we could have seconds. I ate another plate of delicious ham, potatoes, and salad. Said to my table, “Well have a good Sunday.” I threw away my plate and walked to the car. I sat there for a few minutes telling my bones that they wont be that cold forever. I waited a few more minutes thinking, well maybe kenni didn’t know I was ready to go. I didn’t care much, she would eventually figure it out, so I just listened to music and waited.

(kennis’ point of view) A munch and mingle!!! Alright! I was so excited to go to a linger longer I’d never been before. We walked into the gym and I found a boy who I wanted to sit by. I asked if I could sit down by him. He, with no emotion might I add, said, “ok sure.” Tara said “well don’t sound too excited.” He perked up a little and said “yeah I’d love for you ladies to sit here.” As soon as the prayer was over tara was up and to the food. Adam and I were talking, slowly got up and stood in line to get our plates. When we we’re finally all sitting down tara was half way done with her first plate and taking food from mine. Soon tara was finishing up her second plate. Apparently I missed it when she said “well have a good Sunday” Cause the next thing I knew she was no where to be found. I figured she had gone to the bathroom or was talking to some other friends, but after a few minutes, and a conversation with a bunch of dudes about drill team names and why they walk the way they do, tara was still gone. I started asking people if they’d seen her. one girl told me she saw her go outside, so I decided to check the car. Sure enough there she was… Just chillin’,

  

D. O. G.

I am pretty blonde sometimes. I have been working for PROBABLY A MONTH-ISH NOW. ONE EVENING I SAT ON THE FLOOR BRUSHING MY HAIR. I WAS JUST THINKING. AT THE HOUSE WHERE I WORK THEY HAVE A FEW PETS. A CAT AND TWO DOGS: DORA, TUCKER, DEOGIE. Deogie Is a girl dog and that seems like a boy name to me. Weird. So I kept thinking in my head deogie, deogie, then out loud, “oh my gosh d. o. g. that’s so funny!!! I had to tell someone at once just how silly I had been. So I called my dad. He recognized it right away, and so did kenni. Don’t worry; it will just take me a month to catch onto stuff.

Frankie!

Kenni and I went to kneaders one night to try some food. The line was huge and I noticed that they would ask, “what’s the name?” for every order. I looked at kenni and said, “I want to tell her my name is Frankie.” (I really want to name a girl that, so I’d like to see how people take it.) Finally it was our turn to order… I was getting real nervous cuz I was just about to tell a lie, so I had been pretty quiet. The girl looks at kenni and says, “and what was the name.” kenni looked at me like, go ahead. Ha ha so I blurt out, “Oh! It’s Frankie.” The girl stared at me for an awkward moment. “Is that really your name?” I couldn’t even get words out, I just nodded. She starts to say, “That’s different, I like it.” I could feel my face turning bright red tho, so I turned to go find a table, and let kenni finish that conversation. Kenni joined me a few seconds later, “Who says that, “Is that really your name?”. I just answered, “Yeah, I suck at lying,”

Orange we silly???

Soo… the other day we were at walmart and I asked tara if I could get some oranges, she said yes but I could tell she didn’t really want them. I grabbed the bag anyways and I told her “it’s Christmas time we have to have oranges.” We finished our shopping and tara was kinda pouting so I asked what was the matter. She said “I just don’t want to buy those, I don’t even like oranges.” So I took the bag back and grabbed just a couple for myself. The next day I was peeling one of the oranges and tara was staring at me like she wanted some. I didn’t even ask if she wanted any cause she didn’t let me get the bag cause she doesn’t even like them. But half way through my orange she says, “I thought I didn’t like those, but earlier today a boy at the Laundromat gave me a piece and it was really good.” I still didn’t share. The next day I noticed a couple more oranges on the counter. I laughed to myself but just left it alone. Today tara was peeling one and I could see her getting frustrated. She says “now I remember why I don’t like oranges they’re so hard to peel” like ten minutes later she holds up like 50 little orange peels and say, “look kenni, I did it in one try.”

Decorations!!

We love Christmas! We are kind of cheesy. But here are some pics of our house:)

We wanted to paint our windows.  It was literally freezing outside so we painted from the inside. Ha kenni wrote joy backwards!

                                                         Snowflakes!!

I kept calling him santa, but obviously this is a snowman.

                                                         The north pole!

                                                         Our fake Tree!

That’s called a boot…..

So WE were told that the po-lice in logan are very strict with parking. One night we went to a friends house and he told us it was okay to park in the guest parking, he just had to call it in. So we watched a movie and hung out a bit.  As we were heading out the door he said, “Well I hope you don’t have a boot on your car cause I couldn’t get a hold of the people.” We both looked at him like we better not have a boot cause we don’t have any extra money for that kind of thing! Sure enough we had a boot! And a big bright paper saying, “Caution! Do not move this vehicle! $75.00 parking fee, please call a phone # to take boot off.” I think we both were on the verge of tears, and didn’t really know what to do. We walked back to our friends house and let them know what was going on. The boot dude showed up at like two in the morning and luckily we were able to talk our way out of paying for it. Our friend had tried to leave a message but for some reason it didn’t go through. I was so happy we didn’t have to pay!!!

I just had a memory...

With it being the holidays and all i was thinking of Christmas two years ago. We were pulling a tube with the four-wheeler out in the field. Trace, kenni, and i were all riding. We started out taking it pretty easy and slow. Trace was loving it though, so we talked my dad into going faster. The next thing i know Trace slipped through the middle of the tube and was dragging under us. Kenni and I jumped off and the tube flew up in the air. Trace pulled his face out of the snow and was laughing so hard!!!! I love how tough that boy is:)

Latara ate it in the parking lot

We were running late for tithing settlement so I dropped kenni off by the front doors of the church. I couldn’t find a close place to park so I had a lot of parking lot to cover. I was doing pretty good walking in the snow so I picked up the pace a bit. Next thing I know my feet were level with my eye balls and I hit the ground so fast I couldn’t even put my hands down! I looked at myself and pulled my skirt back over my panties, I couldn’t help but bust up laughing. I looked around to see how many people saw and didn’t see one person, what a shame, because I’m sure it was super funny. When I got to the front doors of the church I ran into some hottie boys and let them brush the snow off my back. Oh yeah! When I got inside I found out that Our bishop couldn’t make it to the meeting, so we had to reschedule.

Shoot! I just locked the keys in my car!!!!!”

         

We finally found people who love to hot tub! Wahoo! In St G. we went tubing all the time, but when we got to Logan not so much. Well we went with a bunch of dudes, and this was pretty much the first time we hung out with these guys. So we got out of the hot tub and now I know why it’s not the best thing to do in Logan, BRR!!! I was like an insta ice cube :) The plan was to meet at Mc Donald’s for some ice cream. I was thinking more like hot chocolate. Anyways long story shorter, I locked the keys in my car while putting my sweats on. Shoot!! “Um dudes, I just locked my keys in my car. Can you help me?” Well I have a spare at my house, so they gave me a ride home. That’s when I realized I was also locked out of my house. It’s nice to know that my house is very hard to break into. However not impossible, and if anyone ever tried I would hear them. Just saying. So now we have been chilling in our swimming suits for over an hour and so ready for a warm shower. I was so happy that our new friends helped us out! I have loved living in Logan!
