Yogurl looks great for just having had a baby!

Hey everybody! Sorry we didn't blog last week, but it was a really long day. I had a lot of meetings in the day and then at night I went to camp out by the motorcycle safety course building so that I could be first in line for the stand-by spots. Well, after sleeping 7 hours in our little Accent, I definitely deserved to get a spot in the class. Unfortunately, my cell phone was on silent when they called. I saw that I missed their call and called them about 20 minutes after the time they had called me. They said that since I didn't answer my phone, they had already given my spot to the next person in line and that I could try again next week. Well, I'm terribly sorry that I have a job. So, it looks like I'm just never going to ride a motorcycle.

On the plus side, I did get to see the Governator this week. A bunch of us went down to the base of the tower hoping to meet him, but he got off his jet, waved at us, and then got straight into his SUV and drove off. It was still cool.

We already emailed everybody about the fires, but I thought we would mention them again. We didn't have anything bad happen here except that our air quality was poor and there was ash all over the place. On the plus side, I only worked about 20 hours that week, since they only wanted essential personnel going to work.


For halloween I had work and then class so I didn't dress up. I know, I'm an old fuddy-duddy. Yogurl and her whole office did a 50's dress up thing. She had lots of fun. She even bought curlers so her hair could be extra curly. Hopefully she'll let me put up a picture with her in her curlers.


As you all know, Yogurl is the enrichment leader in Relief Society. They had a big activity this past Thursday and Yogurl is glad to have survived it. She was really stressed for a couple days before it, but she actually really enjoyed it. Since class was cancelled that day, I got to go help out. Helping out means helping them eat their yummy foods and putting away tables so the high priests don't throw their backs out. While we were there a sister in the ward told Yogurl that she looked so great considering she had just had a baby. Ha! There is actually another 6 foot female with curly blonde hair in the ward. People in the ward often confuse them for each other, but this was probably the funniest messup I've heard.


The big event this week was the Marine Corps Ball. It was at the Sheraton in San Diego. Yogurl knew more what to expect this year, so she had a lot more fun. They also played the electric slide, so that made the whole thing worthwhile for her. She was still disappointed that we didn't get to eat any of the birthday cake, though. What made it great for me is that Yogurl's dress came from a consignment store and was super affordable. Hooray for a thrifty wife!
