1. The Garden: I neglected to talk about this situation to many people because I was embarrassed but now I think I am ready to talk about it. So in late July early August a friends from the ward asked me to look after her garden (location-public garden ie many gardens around) Her husband was suppose to be watering the garden while she and her kids were away we just had to help harvest. She said she had lots of veggies, peppers, squash and tomatoes..it sounded like a great deal to us. So Wade and I diligently go every other day to this garden and pick squash and corn however we did not see half the stuff she said was there. Every day we notice how dry everything was. We water the plants and think to ourselves "her husband must be neglecting the garden" So a week or so goes by and we see the Cabbage is just bursting so we decided to pick one of the biggest ones. We hear in the background this guy say "hey, so and so someone is in your garden" so we have our prize cabbage and other various squash and cucumbers and we are stopped by this large old woman. She asks" where did you get that cabbage?"we explained that we had been watching our friends garden and we got it from there. She asked us to show her so we did. She points out that the garden we had been tending to was shared. We had been watering and picking fro her garden as well. He got flustered and so we said "would you like your cabbage back?" She said "yes I was going to make sourcrout" So we left the garden and only picked from the one side. Once my friend came back I told her about the cabbage incident and she seemed fine with it. Later I am on blog stalking and I come across her blog. One of her blog entries was about her garden where she had a picture of her garden before her trip and after. This was not the same garden… I called her and she told me where her garden was… I felt soooo stupid! I had been in the wrong garden all the time.
Story number 2….. so Wade and I bought my Toyota Camry right after he graduated may 2007… it was MY prize and I loved my new car! So we are at my sisters house in October 2007 and this lady backs into our parked car….. my the golden ticket has to get a new bumper. March 2008 I am driving in the Costco parking lot and I have an encounter with a another car….. New drivers side and bumper. Then we are driving home a few weeks ago from Logan at 1:00am and there is a huge cooler in the middle of the lane on I-15…. New bumper. I swear this car is a lemon!!!! Grrrrr.. 3 bumpers in less then a year…

Hi Bri, how are you? That is too funny about the cabbage...stillin' from an old lady!
If it makes you feel any better Aaron and I were in 4 accidents last year that brings me to a total of 8 in my lifetime. I am just happy to be alive. just wait til you have kids that add to the mix. Lydia and Luke have done some great things to the paint job with sticks, bikes, paintbrushes, or whatever else is available.
