**If you ware wondering why there is a scary picture of Brooke’s lips upclose and one of Davy’s nose, it is because I have started a new tradition: whenever someone takes a hideous picture of themselves with our camera, I am going to post it for the world to see until they personally request it is taken down. BWA HA HAHAHAHAHA Brooke and Davy!

What Up.It has been quite a while. You all know each time life gets a little hectic because we neglect the blog and use that blogging time to remedy the (noun for hectic…chaos?) in our life. What has been so hectic? Summer prep. We always have a pre-season dropout from the guys that sign on and bail. It has been larger this year as we’ve hired 36 reps. Three weeks until we leave.

• Trevor was in FL for a few days this past week making final preparations for the guys to come down.
• Caci’s finals are coming up.
• Had family up here or we were with family further south during the past two weeks.
• Caci broke her nose by walking into a gas station window (I’m sure you’ll hear about it from her soon).

Hey! Well, Trevor gave a brief update, so I will just tell the highlights in detail. Trevor flew to Florida on Tuesday so I picked Davy up on Monday and brought him up to Provo so he could watch Jace for me while Trevor was away. I must say I was VERY impressed with how responsible Davy is. He was so wonderful with Jace, dropped me off and picked me up on time every day from class, gave Jace baths, did the dishes, vaccumed the floors, he even changed Jace’s diapers! So, Davy was a LIFESAVER this week– thanks SO much Davy! Trevor and the Chapmans drove up from Vegas on Friday to spend conference weekend with us. It was so fun to have everyone there and to enjoy conferece together. We went to the Saturday afternoon session at Temple Square and it was SO much fun! It was pretty cold so we huddled under blankets and kept remotely warm. I guess we were pretty adorable huddled under our blankets because an Ensign photographer came and took our pictures to put in the Conference Edition of the Ensign, and then a news reporter for Deseret News came and filmed us. We are celebrities! Watch for us! The weekend was so much fun except for one thing: I broke my nose.It was horrible. OK, so Trevor had a mission reunion up at U of U so Trevor, Kostya, and I all piled in the car to go there. Kostya sat in the front and I get car sick on the SLC twisty roads when I am in the back and we couldn’t find the place so we kept having to weave in and out of those really twisty narrow roads in North SL so I was getting sicker and sicker. I also had anticipated eating at the reunion so I hadn’t eaten anything or really drank anything all day. We finally got to the reunion after being lost for half an hour. We walked in and there was NO one we knew– it was all people from like 5 years before Trevor’s time. So we sat there for about five minutes, proclaimed it a bore, and then left. Further, there were no refreshments there so it was a double disappointment. Anyway, so we get back in the car and I am so sick and dehydrated so I asked Trevor to pull over at the first gas station he saw so I could get a drink. He pulled into Maverick, and I hopped out and started super-fast-walking to get inside. I have no idea how it happened– I attribute it to the fact that I was dehydrated and sick and thus totally out of it– but I ran RIGHT into the glass doors! I TOTALLY forgot to open the door!!!! IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING!!!!! And it was not just a “Walk into the glass, shake it off, and continue inside” sort of thing. This is the sort of thing that knocks people unconscious– I hit it SOOOO hard! There were a TON of people inside, and once they heard the “BANG!” they all saw me and started launging their guts out. I was SO embarrassed that I ran to the car and dove into Trevor’s lap, hid my face, and started pleading, “DRIVE!! DRIVE!!” But he was laughing WAY too hard to drive and Kostya was like, “No one even saw! You are making a way big deal out of it! I will go get you a drink. Just a minute.” So he hopped out of the car and I was about to SCREAM because I wanted to get out of there SOOOOO bad! But Kostya went inside– this big 6′4″ Russian– and demanded from the audiance, “You think that was funny?!” And people were like, “No… no… not at all.” Anyway, he FINALLY came back to the car with the drink after like 10 minutes, so I had to lay there in Trevor’s lap while each person, one by one, came out, pointed and me, and laughed their guts out. Oh my heck; SO humiliating. I was so embarrassed and traumatized from the whole event that I didn’t even begin to feel the horrific pain in my face until after we were safely far from the mocking crowd. My nose was hurting like the dickens but it looked OK so I wasn’t worried. However, the next day I woke up and my nose looked like a bird beak!!! It had this GIGANTIC rhinoceros bump on it. Seriously, it was HUGE. I was mortified. I fractured it right along my bridge and it had swollen huge. The swelling has since gone down but I still have a big bump on it and I am just praying it will go back down to normal. It was SOOOOO embarssing, but looking back on it quite hilarious (as long as my nose goes back to normal, that is.) This happened the day before conference, so after conference we went back to the Maverick to see if they got the whole event on the surveillance tapes. They did, indeed, but we can’t get them until the manager is there. We looked where I hit and there is still a very pronounced face mark there. You can see how my face contorted on impact and holy toledo I knocked my face sideways from the impact. It was CRAZY! So we are trying to get the surveillance tapes so all can find joy in my humiliation. That’s it for now! I’ll keep you updated on the status of my nose!
