And the #1 reason that we feel this way: our wonderful neighborhood hommies! It was 11pm last Thursday night and several of us 'USU trailer court peeps' were relaxing together outside after a successful night of stake softball when when someone (sean...surprise, surprise) had the great idea to steal the barrel-turned-fire pit from the yard of another 'sleeping peep' neighbors so we could make smores. When the idea was put to a vote I voted against it. I pretty much turn into a grumpy pumpkin each night at 10:30 and I didn't want to subject any of our unsuspecting neighbors to my transformation. In the end, however, it turned out I was the only party pooper (every party needs one) in the group and we ended up carrying out the plan. By the time the night was over I was thankful that I had been out-voted. Who knew a night of illegal fire burning, stealing fire pits and making the 'perfect smore' with a terrific bunch of trailer court hommies could be so much fun?
Not a day in my life have a ever liked smores, but that all changed this night. I always hated how the chocolate of your smore never melted, even when you put it up against the hot marshmallow. I guess good ideas come to me in the late night hours because I decided to experiment w/ my smore. I first roasted the mallow. Second, I removed the golden brown mallow from the stick and then put a piece of chocolate INSIDE the mallow and then stuck it back near the coals to roast it a little longer. The third step is getting your kind husband (or whomever you so choose) to slightly roast the graham crackers while you are roasting the chocolate mallow. You then put it all together! This truly creates 'the perfect smore'. I will now and forever be a lover of smores. Check it out! The picture doesn't do it justice, but it really was delicious.

Life is always exciting at your place. And Sean with those wonderful ideas will always make your life so much more exciting. We love you guys!
You WERE always the party pooper! I'm glad Sean can convince you to do crazy things! Who else could have convinced you to sleep on the kitchen table like bunk beds! Oh wait . . .
You are a genius. I'm with you about not always liking somore's for the same reason. It seemed like I too once came up with a way but I don't remember and I never thought to put the chocolate inside the marshmallow. You are truly a genius.
Ya, I have pretty much been blessed w/ 'crazy' friends my entire life. There were these two girls this one time that went with me to this geothermal cave at midnight and we didn't come out of the cave until about 4am because one of them decided to mess around in a really tight space for hours on end. Did I mention our parents didn't know we were there? Ya, they were two crazy fun girls. You guys should meet them someday. I have pretty much been blessed w/ crazy-fun people for friends my entire life.
Well that picture with me in it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. So now I will be kind in my blog when I post pictures of you. My blog address is: beezspot.blogspot.com
Dude. I did NOT just decide to "mess around". I got stuck. I was practically bald by the time I got out of there because the rock ripped me to pieces! :)
I still thought we should have slept in there like we'd planned. It's still something I want to do!
Oh, and NO ONE knew we were there. It was spring break and we were on our way to ERDA!
GOOD TIMES!
What fun!!!!! When I read this it took me back to high school!! Wish I could have been there. (I'm pretty sure I was way more of a party pooper than Jess)
