Things of note that happened this week:
- We were both carded when we were purchasing a case of root beer. I know Utah has strict liquor laws, but this was taking it to a whole new level. The checker rescinded her request and looked kind of embarrassed when I informed her that it was only soda.
- We signed up for a membership to the bouldering gym (one of FOUR climbing gyms in town!!!). Not only does it have the various climbing walls, but it has a cardio and weight room and pilates/yoga classes. We are (or at least I am) by far the n00biest ones there. There are so many talented, ripped guys and girls there that it’s hard not to stare. It is also the most non-mormon place I’ve been to in town. Especially on Monday nights. I’m surprised they didn’t make me get a tattoo and a piercing when I signed up, since 98% of the climbers have them. Maybe that’s normal. I’m not in CA any more so things like that stand out a little bit.
- Our friendly neighborhood welcome committee representative called again and informed us that we were to bring a salad to our new neighbor at 5 pm on Wednesday. Our neighbor, a hair salon manager from Arizona, shared similar feelings as us about the food-bearing custom– It’s a little odd but nice overall.
- We had our first dinner with company. It was almost a BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair) situation, but we secured the use of the desk chair and the one I was using as a night stand. All five of us barely fit around our petite table, and the salad was relegated to the floor after dispersal. We had steak, roasted garlic/onion potatoes, salad and apple crisp for dessert. Just call me the all American house wife.
- After our dinner party, we were leading the caravan to bible study and the car that was following us got pulled over for speeding. They were late to meeting but had a good excuse.
- I discovered that we have a spectacular mountain view from while I was washing our guest bedroom windows. I guess I never go in that room. Maybe I should!
-I counted. We have 11 full sized doors in our apartment. ELEVEN!!! Me thinks someone must have gotten a bulk discount at the door store.
- Shane has fallen asleep on the couch almost every night this week. He claims he just needs a little nap after dinner, but I think he just misses the blue couch at Mom and Dad’s.
- Unlike the beautifully sunny last two weekends, the weather’s returning to its original pattern and the weekend’s forecast is for rain and snow. Boo says Jayna. Yay says Shane.
I wonder what next week has in store for us!
