The other week it finally got warm enough to have a pool party. And let me tell you it was one heck of a party!! I told each of the roommates they were allowed to invite 1 dude and the rest had to be ladies and they should plan on inviting 5-10 ladies. We had about 50 that were in and out with a strong 3:1 gals to guys ratio...just how we like it. I lost the bellyflop contest in the finals to another guy named Jared. I really thought the 1 1/4 flip would win it for sure but they said my face hit before my belly and my headache confirmed that.I love where I am living right now. There is quite the dynamic with roommates. 30 yr old that works at Roberts Craft, 28 yr old that manages a mechanic shop, me, 23 yr old agnostic, and 21 year old punk. But it works... for now.
My new ward is awesome! There is a 2nd Elder's quorum that is 24+. And likewise for Relief Society but 21+. The teachers in priesthood keep trying to one up the other on treats and I enjoy the benefits of their girlfriend's cooking.
The Bishop asked me how long I planned on being in the ward and I told him I keep trying to graduate from the singles ward scene. He then told me to up my service in my life... and called me to the Activities Committee Chair. We have the best activities!
We did a hike and BBQ up Stewart Falls. This weekend we are going to the Manti Pageant and then skeet shooting afterwards. The bishopric hesitated with the idea of guns. I told them in Spanish Fork we go shooting every 2 or 3 months in the ward. I don't know why that worked but it did.
The suit biz is booming. I haven't really touched the missionary market but have somehow claimed a partial market share of the wedding market. I had a guy come in that used to play some AAA Baseball and bought 10 suits, shirts, etc... That helped make the month. We may actually hit our quota this month.
Lastly, we are doing a motorcycle brigade in the coming local parades with a bunch of guys in suits. I hope to get some pics of that up!!!
That's all for now

You do keep life an adventure! I'll think I'll have to bring the baby over for some swimming this summer :)
Reed, you are so funny! Just so you know, I look at your blog every few days to see if you update! Maybe, if you left comments, I would see that family was looking and it would encourage me to write more posts! Just a thought..... As far as suits go, I will be needing to order a couple from you for Rich in the next few months. Do you think it is a problem where he can't try them on?? If so, we will just wait until we are there again. He needs very conservative, I was thinking dk blue and grey. I would order them now, but are catching up from the Haiti trip :) Keep in touch!
