What a dirty, rotten trick to play on me! The calendar says you came home three weeks ago. But here it is, April 15, and you let your good pal Winter come back for a visit! Don’t get me wrong, I like Winter and he definitely has his place. Snow at Christmas, sleigh riding, skiing…all good for Winter. But seriously, he’s totally worn out his welcome.
Please come home soon, Spring. And stay awhile…I miss you!
Love,
Jen
P.S. Did you invite Winter to visit as a cruel Tax Day joke? Good one.

Mondays at YoZone
Mondays at YoZone (the frozen yogurt buffet of goodness) are $.30/ounce day. We like to take a little break from work on Monday afternoons for some YoZone refreshment.
First, we send a message around to gather up the troops. It usually looks something like this:
"YoZone?"
"Yes siree!"
We leave a note for our boss so he won't worry when we disappear for a little while.
Pack up the dog, better known as Billiam*, in the back of the Trailblazer.
And head to the YoZone.
We eat our froyo (mine is usually a mix of Cakebatter and Fruity Pebbles) and head back to the office.
This little break gives us the strength to make it through the rest of the week. I'm thinking we need a Friday YoZone day as well. Any takers?
*Billiam isn't really a dog. He just volunteered to get in the back. Don't worry, we call him the "dog" to his face, so it's OK.

I Totally Deserved It
Some of you may know that I have been taking a spinning class. Spinning is a wonderful cardiovascular activity where you burn several hundred calories in a single class. I love spinning and love the stress relief it offers me. Many benefit from weight loss in a spinning class. I, however, have not had the benefit of pounds and fat falling off my frame. But I have experienced some rock solid quad and calf muscles. Seriously, I'm pretty dang proud of these muscles.
I've developed the habit of walking around, flexing my muscles, and then asking those around me to "feel my leg." Well, it appears I may have crossed the line. You see, I was pestering SuperDaysh (a daily task) and kept saying, "Feel my leg." The first time, she nicely poked and said, "Wow, that's firm." The second time I said it, she ignored me. The third time I asked, while standing right in front of her, she punched me! And it hurt!
I suppose I deserved that one. But I still hope I hurt her hand a little bit.
*Hugs*

He Said, She Said
I love listening to my parents tell stories about how they met. I always have. But for some reason, the stories have become more entertaining lately. Last week I was asking my parents, for the millionth time, how they met. I was so entertained by the conversation.
I asked, “What do you remember about the first time you met?”
He (my dad) said: We were at the Cannon Center at BYU. It was a dance and I saw your mom standing alone on the side of the room. She was wearing an orange dress with navy blue and yellow stripes. She had on orange shoes. The shoes had a little bit of a heel…they weren’t flat, but they weren’t very tall. Her hair was up and she had an orange bow tied in her hair. I remember exactly how I felt when I first saw her. I was so scared to ask a girl to dance.
She (my mom) said: He was wearing a sweater.
