March 22nd

At 1 AM Jessi’s laptop battery exploded and almost burned down their house.  Luckily, she and Gary listened to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and were able to make it out and still have their house, family and belongings. Their neighbors say they were sure their house was going down, judging by the flames they could see!  The inspector said he has never seen such damage caused by a laptop explosion. They will have to live in a hotel for a month while their house is cleaned!!! A WHOLE MONTH!!

After church, Ali and Ammon McBride (our very favorite neighbors who are attached to our house who are moving), Eddie, his boys, Justin, Kassy, Rich, Dallas, Peyton, Cari and Doug came over for Corned Beef.  It was a great night of friends and family. We only have corned beef once a year and I always forget how delicious it is!

When Rich and Dallas came in, everybody was greeting with hugs.  Annie was the last one to get to Rich. She gave him a huge hug then said “You are fat” as she walked up the stairs.  Then she grabbed Rich’s hand and made him walk with her to my room, saying “Why are you fat?” When they got into my room, she said “You are like BayMax” OH MY GOSH!!!!  Rich was dying!!!  He came out and told us all of her compliments.  As he was telling us, Annie came out with Josh’s blood pressure cuff and gave it to Rich.  We were doubled-over with laughter!!!  Could. Not. Stand. Up.  It was just too funny!  Rich kept saying “I cannot deactivate until you say you are satisfied with your care.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Annie started crying and we figured out later that she wanted Rich to cuddle with her and watch Big Hero 6 in my room.  Aaaawwwwww, too cute.
