Hi family,
This is Traci. Just letting you know what a fabulous weekend Jake and I had together. On Friday, I mowed the lawn and then mowed the nice section of weeds. Then I used round-up all over the weeds. To my amazement, my next door neighbor had mowed our joint driveway path of grass, which has never been done before. Amazing. It was a great night. I think Jake was inside either watching TV or working on the computer.
On Saturday, we went to Home Depot, bought some flowers and grass seed for the yard (we are trying to get it back in shape since we've been gone -- it still needs some love). Then hit the West Valley Wal-Mart for groceries, because that is how we roll. Later we went and roller bladed at Liberty Park for an hour. An HOUR!! Pretty good exercise for us. I did more yard work, and Jake worked on Volusion for Jen for at least 6 hours or so. We needed some time apart after all that time together at the stores and exercising. Plus, I get really irritated when Jake doesn't listen to me tell him how to drive.
Today we went to our ward here in Sugarhouse. It was the first time I've been back in four years. And let me say this. This congregation is the WORST hymn-singing congregation of ALL TIME. I defy you to find a ward that doesn't suck as bad as ours does at singing hymns. You can hear the chorister from all the way in the back! Cause she's the only one even trying! Today we sang "Beautiful Words of Love" and it was anything but.
However, the people are very friendly. We saw some familiar faces. It was nice to get such a warm reception. But the singing here is the pits. There is obviously no top-ranked music school anywhere in the vicinity, bringing talent from all over the country, who make up at least 1/2 the people in the sacrament meeting.
When we got home, and ate lunch, and were about to settle in on watching "Last Comic Standing" I realized that I had missed my step-sister's baby blessing and the BBQ was just about to start. So we headed over there for a bit, and it was alright. Kind of hot. Lots of people Jake and I didn't know. The usual.
Pretty low-key weekend.
Anyways, I realize this is not an exciting post whatsoever, but I am trying to get this party started here. What did you guys do this weekend? Anything interesting?

Compared to our weekend, yours was spectacular! I am working on a nice vibrating "sitting on a washing machine" vibrato for sacrament meetings. Takes practice but I think I'll get it. Singing Mariah Carey songs works great. Can I join your ward choir?
I watched an episode of "U-Mount-It Taxidermy" on the Sportsman Channel. All I can say is, never again! I was pulled in by their clever marketing and catch phrases... Have you ever thought of doing your own taxidermy? U-Mount-It Taxidermy takes you on a step by step adventure teaching you the secrets of taxidermy as taught at the Rinehart Taxidermy Institute. With John Rinehart's Instruction you will soon discover "I can do my own taxidermy." As John says "The show is called U-Mount It, I Just Taught you."
