Sometimes you just have to LAUGH
Do you guys ever just get that urge to laugh? Like all of the sudden you think of this random memory and start laughing and can't stop. And it wasn't even that funny at the time, but now looking back on it, it makes you crack up? This wave of laughter suddenly just came over me today. And now my mind is just flooded with all of these hilarious memories. Let's see, here are a few examples:

When I lived in Sacramento I was driving to play volleyball and I was at a stoplight. I noticed the guy driving in back of me looked pretty cute. I started examining his car and him and noticed that he had a roof rack. By the time the light turned green I had already planned our wedding and family vacations. When I drove up to the gym to play volleyball, so did the other car. Turns out it was my friend Steve. I ended up telling him the story and he thought it was pretty hilarious.

When I lived with Farah we were moving her mattress back into her room after we had brought in into the living room for a sleepover. I noticed something on the box spring that looked like a bug or something. Farah looked at it too and it looked like a scorpion. I HATE scorpions so I told myself it was a spider and looked to Farah for confirmation. She said, "I'm sure it's just a spider." Then, under her breath, she whispered, "Scorpion." It was scary but also pretty hilarious.

Last one. When I was at Hume last year for summer camp, Steven and I took the kids on a nature walk. He thought it would be a cool idea for me to record them walking in a zig-zag-like fashion so that James could speed it up an use it for the video of camp. I guess I didn't fully understand him because I just stood in one place and vidoe taped while they walked around and turned a corner. I didn't hear them anymore and decided they weren't coming back so I started walking around the corner. They were all standing there with their arms crossed looking very dissapointed. When I came up to them they just started saying, "Jen! What were you doing?! Did you even record us?! Why didn't you follow us?!" I thought they were going to beat me up. Apparently they wanted me to follow them. It was a really funny moment.

Well, I am going on the Navajo trip!!! I am so very excited. It's funny that God answered my prayers a year later. Good times. I have a job interview tomorrow in Pasadena. I'm excited about that too. Please pray. That's about all for today. Happy summer!

I totally know what you mean! The worst is when you remember it and it's at a serious time and people think you're a nut job because you just start laughing. I miss you!
