We had some special visitors straight off the boat to teach us about Black History Month.
The jungle fever could no longer be surpressed....

Whether is was "Linger Longer", "Break the Fast", or "Salsa Social"...if any of you have been in a single's ward in your life you are familiar with a gathering after church where everyone brings food, potluck style. Well, last month in ward council the guy I was sitting next too suggested that we have a "Martin Luther Kinger Longer" in celebration of Black History Month. And that we did....SOUL food style!!

Menu:

Ribs

Fried Chicken

Jumbalaya

Watermelon

Mac and Cheese

Cheesy Grits

HushPuppies

Creamed Corn

Cobbler

And other "black" desserts (brownies, chocolate cookies)

and of course, Kool-Aid

We did pretty good for a few white folks! The food was SO good! And the entertainment was even better!!

assassins...

So my ward started the game of assassins last night...and my paranoia has set in!! For those of you who have never played it goes something like this:

1. You are assigned a victim.

2. Your object is to track and squirt (kill) your victim, eliminating them from the assassins circle.

3. Once you have killed your victim you obtain your victim's previous kills and pursue their victim, until only one remains.

I love this game, but imagine how weird I look walking around with a squire gun in hand...always prepared for my attacker.

There are a few rules:

1. The church is sacred ground (except the parking lot)

2. Thou shall keep the sabbath day holy

3. No killing one hour before your victim goes to work or 1/2 hour after they get off work.

4. No killing while your victim is at work.

5. No killing at official ward activities.

6. No killing 1/2 hour before or after official ward activities.

It's a great way to get to know people in your ward....you know, by stalking them! :)

I'm getting ready for my kill tonight...because of the sacred nature of this kill I will not reveal any information previous to the kill...wish me luck!

i love....

Bride magazines. There is something so fun about looking through that magazine! It makes me happy!
