SundaY Fun

Sunday morning we got another famous "Reno" snowstrom...that is...it starts to dump early in the morning and people get scared (thus cancel church) then the Sun comes out and it melts pretty fast. Well, when I got home from work it was still a blizzard outside, so I called my neighboor Laurie to see if our ward was canceled....and yup it was (who ever said God doesn't answer prayer.) hehehehehe Seeing how I was all geared up to play in the snow (gortex boots and multiple layers from work) Laurie and I decided to shovel everyones drivway (in the Universtiy Villlage). After we finished shoveling we decided that we should build the worlds largest snowman...and we tried really hard to make it huge but our large snowman ball broke twice...so we settled (or Laurie strognely suggest) for a lame mediocre snowlady with buns. ohh well, at least if was fun!

This is the truck that killed one of our large snow balls!

three years down and eternity to go

For our anniversary we ate at this amazing Italian restaurant...which in our opinion beats out the food we had last year in Venice.




Instead of telling me (merridy) that I looked good Lucas couldn't get over how good he looked in his brown western suit and floral western shirt and took several pictures of himself....what a nerd...but at least we get a laugh out of his actions.

brown boy....hmmmm

I (merridy) just got home yesterday from Hawaii and was excited to be darker than Lucas...only to my surprise he was darker than me....hmmmmm. "Real men wear PINK!"
I spent a week on Oahu with an old missionary companion (Chantel Vinyard/Holt), Colleen (a lady we taught in Ogden), and her daugher Nikki....and lets just say I've never been so relaxed.
