Crazy San Antonio and home shopping!!!

So it has been awhile since I (Michael) have posted anything. So I thought i would bring everyone up to date of what we have been doing lately.

The Young Men in the ward have been preparing to go to Scout Camp. Thanks to Scott Paul and Steve Seago they will have enough adult leadership there that being said, that doesn't mean I didn't help out. A couple of weeks before i showed the Young Men how to cook effectively over an open flame. I also had to teach them as well how to provide for themselves....they thought that I was cooking for them. Please I downed all these in two minutes!



So we have been playing a lot of games with some friends of ours and they have a "special daughter" only one that Satan can appreciate. She tears through everything, so they have found a great way to put her in "time out". The nice thing is that she has her favorite duck with her!



These friends we play cards with have a small apartment and so they have to double up on somethings, the restroom and gameroom (pretty sweet surround sound while playing Wii on the can. They complain I take too long, but what can you expect when you keep winning at Mario Cart. Also you have to be somewhat cordinated and able to multi-task otherwise you will fall off the toilet, a lot). They also combine the Master Bedroom and Living Room (it gets a little akward when you underwear all over the place, but i'm used to it now) and of course the washing machine and a cooler!


Our lease on our apartment expires end of August so we are in the process of looking for a home. Another couple in the ward wanted us to stay in the ward and said we could have their cellar. I was up for it but apparently Trish had some reservations about us moving in. I can only imagine she had a horrific experience involving a bus as a child.


The nice thing about this place is that they already have a garden going which is so nice. We were going to plant a vegtable garden, so all we would have to do is find some more unused toilets. If anyone has any would you please let me know? Thanks.



Also another selling point is that at this location they recycle. So we would be doing our part to save the world. We would probably put our "tidy cat mail box right below theirs".



We also looked at a few other options. This one was at the top of my list as well. Unfortunately, Trish and I could not agree on this house or any of the ones I liked. How awesome would that be to have swing in your front yard!


Eventually i found my favorite house or I should say "mobile" house. You know the decorations are already there for each Christmas. The house comes with the car. Also when we have different holidays all you would need to do is dress up the car and/or the reindeer accordingly. So if any of you can encourage Trish, tell her we should get this place!!!! Thanks for you help.

Well we are doing great here in San Antonio! We will talk to you all later.

I'm confident you'll make the right choice in a home. And who says you can't have all those other things?

Trish, I posted pix of the wedding for you asap on my blog.
