"You Mormons have a very respectable reputation"

I had a carpet sales man come to my property today(I will call him "Bob"). I have worked with him at some of my previous properties so I let him come take measurments to give me a quote. He noticed the picture of Christ on my wall and...

Bob: "I'm a born again Christian, what church do you go to?"

Me: "Latter day Saint"

Bob: " My son has a Mormon friend. Is it ok to call you Mormon?"

Me: "Sure, that is fine"

Bob: " You know your church has the best reputation out of all the churches"

Me: "Really?"

Bob: " Yes. You know when some one says '"He's a Mormon" that he will be 1. Honest 2. Trust worthy 3. Their children will be polite and well behaved 4. He will never be divorsed."

Me: "Thank you. That is nice to hear."

My thoughts were 1. Wow, that was really nice 2. I'm glad I had that picture up. 3. He is a better sales man that I thought ;-)

Let's Go Dodgers!

Starting our 2009 Dodger season!

Last night Aaron and I went to our first Dodger game of the year. We went with Darrel and Braden (Aaron's brothers) and had a great time! The drive up there was HORRIBLE (traffic) and the parking situation was EVEN WORSE but it was worth it. We all got our Dodger fleece blankets, Dodger dogs, nachos, and a WIN against the San Diego Padres.

(the Christensen boys at their best)

I must say they all looked very handsome in their Dodger gear :-)

It was a great Saturday!

The Dovers move and Jakeapalooza 2009

I had fun and busy Saturday. Unfortunately Aaron had to work all day and wasn't able to join in the fun (he was really missed). I started the day off by going over to the Dovers' to help them move. They are moving to a beautiful place in the Belmont shore area. We were able to get all of the big things and a lot of the small things moved. Amanda and Alana were a big help.
Next I picked up a few things and went over to help out with Jakeapalooza 2009. It was my friends son, Jake, 2nd birthday. They are the coolest family and so it wasn't surprising that he had the coolest 2nd birthday party I've been to. I was able to do the face painting and tattooing (temporary of course). Then played Rock Band with them until 1:30am. Great after party! I hope you enjoy the pictures :-)

Easter Sunday and April birthdays dinner

Better late than never?

I wasn't really on the ball with getting these pictures up. Sorry! We had a great time on Sunday at the Christensens' for Easter and to celebrate the April birthdays, mine was on the 1st, Aaron's and Linda's are on the 22nd. I decided to make salmon for Linda (since she doesn't like ham). It was my first time working with fish and according to those who tried it, it came out great. It was fairly simple to make; if anyone wants to know the recipe let me know. I hope you enjoy the pictures and the video of the famous birthday song sung by the Christensen family.
