If any of you didn't already know, I'm trying to win a scholarship to become Yoga certified! Its always been something on my lifelong "to-do" list! Well, along with friend likes on my facebook page, I also have a youtube video up! I have a favor.... will you please click on the link below? You dont even have to watch the video. Everytime you open the screen counts as a hit! So really if you wanted to just sit and refresh the page for 5 minutes instead of watching the actual 5 minute long video.... that'd be great! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR AWESOME SUPPORT!!!

Door to Door Salesmen
So... I have a problem. Door-to-Door salesmen! I've gotten a lot better but I'd like to tell you about an experience I had about 6 months ago. But first a little disclaimer. I was a missionary, who went door-to-door and I also spent the summer in Virginia with my husband door-to-door selling. Okay good, maybe that will help me not look like such a fool!
So, back in March, or was it April? (doesn't really matter) Cory was at school and I was hanging out at home, when all of the sudden a knock came at the door. And I opened it to a large black man who told me this long story about how he grew up in poverty, and he didn't graduate high school, and he had a bunch of kids who grew up in poverty who didn't know any better, and how he'd had a ton of problems with being in jail and drugs and the whole works! He explained he was part of a program that helped people like him to turn their life around a get a job. He said basically what he was doing was selling magazines to get points, and he had to get 10,000 points. When he did this, the magazine company would write him a reference letter and then he could try and get an actual job that would actually pay him. So he was going door to door and not even getting paid for it. NOW! another disclaimer! I would just like to say, after working for a disability law firm, I completely support people like this man who want to change their life around. A LIFE that was probably the way it was because of parents, or even grandparents choices! (I'm really getting going aren't I?) SO I BOUGHT A MAGAZINE FROM THE MAN!!!
Well.... then I called Cory and he says, "RAE! What the heck? You forgot your salesman training! And if you forgot that! Why didn't you fall back on what you learned in DARE in the 6th grade!?! JUST SAY NO!!!" When Cory got home he went off on how I would never see the magazine and that we should probably change our bank account number because I wrote a check (I'm an idiot!) and blah blah blah, basically he mocked me constantly.
Every so often I would get a smart remark from Cory about my missing magazines, or that he gets all of his magazines monthly, where is mine? So I came to the resolution that when I die I can feel good about trying to help this man. AND I STAND BY THAT!
6 months later..... I got my Rachael Rae cooking magazine in the mail today! ha ha ha!!!

Nothing says its ABOUT TIME like some BBQ'n!!!
These first two pictures pretty much sum up how all of us felt this weekend.
Can anyone say R&R???
So, a few months back we were hanging out with some of our friends discussing how we never hang out. So leave it to us wives, we calendered a date (a month out) and set in stone that we were going to BBQ and hot tub! And that we did.
We did a BYOM and everyone chipped in a lil something to share. I decided to try my hand at some kabobs!!! Mostly because they're so PRETTY!!!
We also had Cory's family with us. Mom, Dad, two brothers, Dog, and Grandma and Grandpa! The more the merrier at this house.Here are the husbands talking over the grill. Actually not all of them are cooking, but I think you have to congregate around the grill if you are male. Its just what they do.
YUM!
YUM!Oh, just a little food for thought, kabobs shrink, so cut them just a bit bigger than you want them to actually look once they're done grilling. Why does it even matter what they look like when they're done cooking? It just does!
This is the gang. The Dent family (well, practically... kinda), the Stouts, and the Waters!
Except for a little micro burst wind storm that tried to dampen the goodness of the whole dang evening, it was a success!
Oh, and just a random story. We got a gift card from T-Mobile the day that I was going CRAZY CLEANING LADY TORNADO STYLE and of course I misplaced it. AFTER ALREADY turning the house upside down, I did it again looking for the dang card. Cory was so sure that I threw it away that he went and fished our garbage out of the big bin and searched ( I knew it wasn't in there). After a few days of searching I called T-Mobile, they canceled the card, and sent a new one out. TWO DAYS later, I thought... "hmmm, maybe I should read the Ensign" And low and behold, the dang card was in between the Ensign and the New Era! Life lesson learned, THE CHURCH IS TRUE! Read your ENSIGN's!!!

Cant wait to BBQ again, and we must before the summer is over. So if any of you want to party, just say so!!!

The Boys are Back in Town!!!
Cory's brother Tyler just recently came home from Ghana, Africa after serving a two year mission! Cory and I have only been together for a little less than two years, so I had never even met the other member of the Waters family! (I'm still deciding if its real, or if Brad and Sheila just adopted a white boy from Africa).
But I do have to admit that Cory and Jared now seem complete with their 3rd Mousekateer!
