Bishop's Business Card - Funny

I was just going through some old emails and found a funny one that I didn't want to delete, so I'll put it on here for all to enjoy.

Bishop's Business Card
A Bishop was visiting in the home of two Ward members, a newlywed couple. At the garden apartment where they lived it was obvious from the giggling inside that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks, he even called out to let them know it was he at the door.
Everything had gone silent. Then he took out a business card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

The following Sunday his card was placed in one of the tithing envelopes and given to one of his councilors who in turn returned it to the Bishop. Added to the card was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."

Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

Remember when the funniest jokes were the clean ones? They still are! "A cheerful heart is good medicine" (Prov. 17:22)

"Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now"


"If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay there will be double"
Well, umm..... well, it's just that we.......ehhh......changed our minds :) We're going to stay here in the lovely state of Idaho.

So, even though the movers we're only a day away from packing us up and hauling us to the great state of Texas, we decided to call it off. What in the...what? Look, we're human, we're a little nutty sometimes... but you love us anyway, so you'll forgive us for unintentionally psyching you out. Right?

Ben came home last night feeling sick about the whole thing. We talked about it and he felt strongly that although it was an amazing job opportunity that it wasn't the right fit for him and that the lifestyle we'd have in Texas wasn't the right fit for us as a family. So this morning he called the whole thing off. His current employer has been so great throughout this whole thing, and Ben is going to continue working at Horrocks Engineers. I'm really proud of Ben for having the strength to do what he did, it wasn't an easy decision. We are both wiped out from this whole experience. However, I feel that it was a blessing. As we re-evaluated what we have here we gained a newfound appreciation for what we have. What we have right now is perfect for us. It is a good feeling to have more gratitude for what we have, because I don't think were as grateful as we are now.

Thanks to everyone for giving us so much support. We got so many emails, calls, texts & comments from everyone. We really have awesome friends.

We're MOVING!



We can hardly believe it either, but we are moving to Plano, TX. What the...what?!?! We'll be relocating on someone else's dime in mid-February. It is really sudden actually. Ben hasn't been really looking for a new job. This practically fell in his lap and it should be a really amazing opportunity for Ben and his career. He'll be working for HNTB in the corporate ventures division doing engineering design stuff, that is about all I know. You'll have to ask him on the details.

It still hasn't quite sunk in that we are moving. Idaho has been a really nice place to live and I am really going to miss the friends I've made up here and our great neighbors. I can't believe that we're doing this again, relocating to a new place. We don't feel quite ready to leave. I think it'll be hard, but hopefully a lot of fun. At least this time I'm not 8 months pregnant! It is going to be hard being so far away from Utah too. It is like a 20+ hour drive to Utah or California, so we won't get a chance to do those trips as often :(

So Texas... we drove through it when I was about 10 years old on a family road trip and that is the only experience I have of being in Texas. Have any of you guys ever been to the Dallas area?It actually seems like a really nice place to live. The thing that really makes me happy about going is the mild winters, oh yeah, they do have cold times, but just last week it was in the mid 60's. So I won't complain about that. We still hope to make it back to Utah someday, being without family and our awesome friends is really hard. But for now we're off on another adventure (that was a little cheesy). Well there you go, our schedule is going to be crazy leading up to this move, so I thought I'd let everyone know on here.

Wish us luck :)

Bridger around Christmas

Man, Bridger seems like he's already grown since this video. The cute thing about Bridger is that he talks a little like Daffy Duck.

Hope you enjoy these videos, I've had a couple requests since a few of you out there haven't seen Brandon and Bridger in a while.

Brandon Loves to Talk

Here is Brandon over the Christmas Vacation.
Warning: This video is like 3 minutes long, I just thought it was cute and thought some of you would like it.
