My Fair Lady

If only I could go to school and learn how to be a lady... that would be great. This week Karen's brother in-law, Nolan, moved in with us. He recently moved from Ohio to start a job in Salt Lake City, so we offered him a room while he's in transition.

This evening I experienced embarrassing moment #1763. We were all standing around the kitchen talking while I was making dinner and out of nowhere the most disgusting sound came from my body. Yes, as Niklas would say, "I cracked one off". Why does this always happen to me? First Alex's family, now Karen's in-laws. I was speechless, turning so red that I was almost purple. I desperately tried to think of something to say - anything - but nothing came to mind. There was no justification for the heinous act that had just occurred. Thankfully (as always), Alex saved the day and chimed in with, "I think it's a boy!"

If that wasn't enough, we all sat down to the table for dinner and Alex ripped one - equally disgusting or worse than mine. I was really hoping we could keep the facade going of being nice, proper folk, but alas, it just wasn't meant to be. Our inner filth-pig has emerged.

Other news.. Alex I are getting new callings at church. Here's a clue:

Yup. Webelos leaders!! Hopefully I'll look a little less nerdy in uniform. They are in the process of doing our background checks now and will officially extend the call to us in a couple of weeks - assuming they don't find any dirt. We'll continue to work in the nursery through the end of the year and will be released going into the new year. Kind of a bummer since we've really enjoyed working with the little kids.

That's the news for now.

For those curious - No, I'm not pregnant. I've had a couple people ask lately and I really have nothing new to report. I promise I'll let everyone know once it happens.

P.S. A little follow-up to Alex's post about being competitive. We played Ticket to Ride again this evening and Alex won. His ego has been restored.
