How to be Creepy . . .

DIRTY. That is the only word I have to describe my husband's mustache. Very DIRTY. It was sort of funny, but I am so thankful it is gone now. He did it for a contest among the sales Rep's and the Techs. It was a mustache contest, but slowly, one by one ... every sales Rep, and then Tech, got rid of their mustaches. James was the last one to stand. I think the Sales Rep's went first because it was affecting their sales. For some reason people find guys with mustaches creepy. Perhaps they didn't in the 70's, but that was 40 years ago. James even brushed his stache with my hairbrush when he came to visit for the weekend. He posed for me after he was done. It was just too funny not to document somehow. In the one photo, James is Waxing a section of one of the Elders Legs from Fort St. John. It was so funny. He is one hairy dude. Like, by the afternoon he already has a 5 O'clock shadow. His hair just GROWS. Poor dude. I also just got my first Lululemon Sweater! YAY! It's the best! I LOVE Lululemon! It's totally ME. And the best workout clothes EVER! The only downside is the prices they have. Sale Items are the way to go (Whenever Possible). The Beaver photos are from Beaver Lodge. They have a Giant Rodent as their town mascot. It's pretty sweet!We even saw a real live beaver couple at a river in the area. They were spiffing up their home, dragging sticks and stuff. Cool, cool! We also hit up Wazza Lake in Cranbrook, BC. We have matching, "That's what she said" T-shirts! YAY! They are going to be our shirts for the Family Reunion this year. We thought it totally fit our personalities. Plus we alwayssay that line all the time. Well... actually,our friend Beverly got them for us. She knows us too well. We will be in Oregon is less than two weeks! I am super excited to play at the coast! I LOVE Boogie boarding! It may be cold, but super fun. James has been so excited to go crabbing again. We haven't gone since the honeymoon/2008 fam. Reunion. We also LOVE Tillamook Ice cream. Plus we love seeing everyone. So we can't wait!
Love Always,

Corruption in the System

OUTRAGEOUS!!!! If so many states public school systems are becoming corrupted like this, I will for sure do private or do a group homeschooling. I don't need the governments "agenda" to overrule what most parents want their children to be taught. They're even starting to change history books! I will teach MY children about MORALS, not have the school system do it for me.

I am so glad that we have, "The Family, A Proclamation to the World." My kids won't be taught to be politically correct, and that's for dang sure! Talk about God kids, and offend EVERYONE! Talk about Monogamy and piss 'em all OFF!!!

Who am I, and Who do I want to Become?

Who am I now? Who do I want to become? What do I need to do now to get where I want to go?

I like to evaluate where I am at times in my life to see if I am on the track to get where I want to be in the future. These are just some quotes that I really like that remind me that I am the one who decides who I am and who I will be.

I am a product of the choices I make.

"I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul."

"Independence is the recognition of the fact that yours is the responsibility of judgement and nothing can help you escape it--that no substitute can do your thinking, as no pinch-hitter can live your life--that the vilest form of self-abasement and self-destruction is the subordination of your mind to the mind of another, the acceptance of an authority over your brain, the acceptance of his assertions as facts, his say-so as truth, his edicts as middle-man between your consciousness and your existence .... every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly." -Ayn Rand (Atlas Shrugged).

-Remember: You are what you eat. Both mentally and physically.

New Hair & Computer!

Well, if you haven't noticed from my other posts yet, I have NEW HAIR! Not like a transplant, ha ha, just a new color. It's like Jean from X-Men. Or, the color I had while I was dating my husband. He wanted the girl he married back. He just didn't realize the girl he married has always been a blonde. We got a new Mac today! So exciting! Especially since my computer of 5 years is putt, putt, puttering out. I have been so afraid for weeks that I would lose all my photos to a crash! But this newcomputer has brought new comfort to my soul. And the old one will die in the not too distant future I am sure.Also, we had been having prank war with the missionaries. They started it, and then after something we did they ended it with a note of truce. In the photos we're just putting a shopping cart into their truck. (That wasn't the reason they stopped the war). I would tell you, or show you the photos ofwhat we did, but James said not too. Sad.

Love Always,

Shootin Potatoe's

Today James, the Elders, and I all went

shootin Potatoes out on a cliff here in Fort St. John B.C. There were many old junk cars that had been pushed off the side of the cliff, one looked like it had been set fire and then pushed off. It was quite enjoyable. One Elder went down the cliff to take a picture of a fallen potato inside of a car and while he was down there we tried to shoot at him.

He tried to be clever and hide behind cars and bushes, and then decided to take a leak in full view of

us, but was too far for us to see anything. The other Elder cried, "Remember who you are Elder!" trying to get him to discontinue what he was doing.

Then as he attempted to get back on top of the cliff we continued to shoot at him. It was quite humerus. (No, we did not hit him).

P.S. I don't know what the rest of you think, but I think that the one Elder looks like Robert. It's so weird because he'll even laugh like Robert and some of the things he does sometimes, I'm just like, "Rob?" So weird... Sireena: just imagine Rob with glasses. Is this what he would look like? I know their not twins, but he could definitely pass as a brother.

Up in the Air

James and I were given an air ride over the Fort St. John area as a tip for one of his jobs!

He installed a system into the gentleman's house and his air hanger. So, we went up into the air for about an hour and a half. It was quite enjoyable. I did become a tad bit overheated at one point, and I did start to feel ... sick. James finally looked back and I motioned that we should head back in. Then the Pilot asked if I was feeling sick.

I said yes, and he directed me to a bag just for

that particular sort of issue. About two second

s later ... I

threw up in the bag. It was sort of funny. And at least I felt a little better after that. Later we went to the Bishop's house for a Young Adult / Young Marrieds fireside, dinner. It was yummy.

Afterwards, we went to the River with our group and played Ultimate Frisbee in the mud, and dipped into the river a little bit. It was a nice day. Leisurely, and wonderful.

Scholarship!

$9,456 DOLLARS!!! YAY!!! I just want to scream it at the top of my lungs! I am SOOOO EXCITED!!!! Yes! Yes! YES!!! WHOOO!!!!

What? What is this crazy excitement Mrs. Fray Fray seems to be experiencing you say? Well, James just got a New International Student Scholarship for tuition at BSU in the amount of $9,456 Dollars! WHOOO!!! This is So amazing! It makes me super excited! Our first Scholarship and it totally rocks!

It will be split into two semesters, so for the fall they will pay $4,728 on tuition, and for spring they will pay that much again on tuition! So, it’s not quite all of his tuition, but it’s a pretty darn good amount I’d say. I just wanted to let everyone know of our excitement! And I wanted to thank Irene and my parents for helping us to get to this point to be able to go back to school! James will do Amazing things because of it. So, thank you so much! You guys are awesome! And Thank you Heavenly Father! You have blessed us in uncountable ways. This tuition one though is super obvious so I wanted to thank you personally for giving it to us! Best Blessing EVER!!!

To get the Scholarship James had to answer 4 Essay questions about why he wanted to come to BSU and why HE deserved the scholarship and so forth. If you want me to post the essay I can, It’s just super long, so, people will have to request it. So EXCITING!

P.S. where we are living now for the summer, there was a murder outside our building three weeks ago and the missionaries heard it from their window! We're in ghetto hood here. Lots of abductions and stabbings and such. And the building next to us is where we were supposed to be staying, but it burned down a few days before we were supposed to move in because of a Crystal Meth Lab. Quite the adventure.

Love Always,
