Having Some Fun

We've been trying to live it up the last few months we are here...
On Friday we went to the Senior Celebration on Campus, it was so much fun!
Free food, games, back massages (ahhhh), free stuff (you know, water bottles, pens, candy and the like), give aways, entertainment and stuff like that. Like I said, it was fun.
Brian and I competed in a Newly Wed game. We got second, lost by one question. I think our being married for about 9 years longer than the competition actually put us at a disadvantage for some of the question. Questions like, "What's the strangest present your spouse ever got you?" Well, I have to go through 9 years of presents in my brain in like 10 seconds. That was hard. Oh well, it was a blast, and we really did know each other very well. We only missed ones that neither of us knew the answer to.
Ethan got to wear a snake around his neck. And to get candy he had to get it out of the tarantula cage. Nora wanted nothing to do with that!



Then while we were waiting for our ticket number to be called during the raffle, they had a dance contest... I looked at Brian and said, "Where is Ethan! We have to get him up there!" So we chased him down and convinced him to go on stage and dance in front of hundreds of people. The winner was decided by who got the most applause/cheering from the crowd. Ethan won! (and some other guy). It was awesome.
A little while later Ethan was with me out in the hall when BYU's President walked by.
I introduced President Samuelson to Ethan and explained that he was the President of BYU. Their interaction went as follows:

Ethan: "You're the president of the whole school?"

President Samuelson: "Yes, I'm the President of BYU. Do you want to be the President of BYU some day?"

Ethan: "Uh, yes. Uhm, no. I want to work at a pet store."

President Samuelson: "That sounds like it would be more fun."

Ethan: "Yeah."


I'm so proud.
