Troy's Luck!

The many of you who know my husbands past with buying me gifts will find this funny! Troy called me the other day, he was so excited because he had just come up with the most perfect gift for me, and he still had 3 weeks until my birthday, he thought he was the coolest husband and this would prove it(Troy's "M O" is to pick me up a gift either the day of or the night before, but NEVER has he gotten something this early) I was impressed too! Well today I got an E-mail thanking me for my subscription to Psychology Today magazine. Now this is a thoughful gift and something I would really like, HAD I NOT ORDERED IT ALREADY! What makes this so funny is that I had a conversation with him(which he now remembers) and I told him how I had just gotten sucked into subscribing to this magazine! I found it funny! He says that it's not fair because the thing that was supposed to show how great and thoughtful he is actually backfired and shows how much he doesn't listen. I'm betting his days of ever getting me something ahead of time are over! Thanks anyway Troy, at least you know it's something I liked!!!

My Daughter "The TREE!"

Makenzie had the opportunity to try out for her school play, she was so excited she couldn't sleep for days! When audition day came she and her friend Kesli (who was almost as excited for Makenzie and Makenzie was) stayed after school to audition. The next day, Kenzie was called back in for a second audition! She had to sing, and recite lines in both auditions. Two more days passed, and they finally posted the casting, and yep, my daughter was on the list! She was cast as a tree!!!! She is sooo excited because she gets to be on stage at all times, sing all the songs- except for the solos, wear a costume that includes some serious make-up (she's trying to come up with a signature move so that we can tell her apart from the other trees) and several of her good friends are trees with her. The musical is called "Into the Woods" they get to go on a fieldtrip to Salt Lake to see a real production of "Into the Woods". So I guess the only thing left to say is "Makenzie Break-a-leg!
