(yes i will admit if i'm wrong)

would you like beef? or steak?

well, jess, dont worry, i haven't forgotten to post my story about the beach. its coming. but first, i have a really funny story about what happened today during lunch. let me just set the scene for ya. me, levi, and a brother we picked up form the airport to bring to daytona had just sat down in the daytona ale house for some foodstuff. we are all looking at the menu and levi is babbling to him self like he usually does. it sounds something like this:

levi:hmm...i havent been here in awhile...i wonder whats good....oh haha...look at that...burger?...nah....oh, you know i could really go for some fajitas....too bad there beef instead of steak. i dont do beef...hmm...maybe i
jenna: wait, wha...levi what did you just say?
levi: maybe ill go for some pasta.
jenna: no, did you?
john: yeah, i think he just did
jenna: levi, did you just say you dont want fajitas because they are beef not steak?
john: oh yeah, he just said that!

(at this point i start hysterically laughing and after several minuets of trying to regain my composer i finally get a hold of my giggles and am able to explain to levi his quotidian mistake.)

levi: what? i dont get it
jenna: levi, beef...and steak....ITS THE SAME THING!
levi: but...uh...

then the waitress comes over and we (john and i) have been laughing about this for some time. levi at this point is trying to argue that he though it was "ground beef" fajitas. and we are like....riiiiight, cuz they make "ground beef fajitas" alllll the time. so john asks the waitress

john: so, tell me, is there a difference between "beef" and "steak"

(im trying with all my might not to laugh out loud, but this is to no avail and what i end up doing is this spitting coughing laugh thing. quite gross)
the waitress looks confused and slightly concerned because of the sounds im making and looks questioningly at john.

waitress: um...no. i don't...why?

john: oh we were just wondering. (he grins profusely at levi and we begin to order.)

needless to say, it was quite the event. i laughed about it the whole day.

steak. beef. hahahah!
and people say IM the blond in the family. ha!

me+phones+water=bad bad bad

hey howdy hey everyone. i know its been like forever, and by request of some in far away states, ill do an update.

ill start with the funniest first. guess what! i think its a proven fact that my cell phone is physically attracted to water. its not my fault you see. its the phones fault. no, i didnt drop my phone in the toliet. but pretty close. this time, i doped it in the sink. yes. i know. laugh out loud. its ok. what happened was i had the phone in my hand and i went in to the bathroom to wash my hands after work (kids are dirty) and i set my phone on the side of the sink. then i accidentally knocked my phone in to the sink when i was trying to get some soap and this caused a strange chain reaction that include lots of yelping and jumping around. my phone was only in the water for like .5 seconds and at the time it seemed to be ok. i dried it off real quick and i was like, ok, all is well...lets see, yes it still dials. im good. but then...like 15 min later, its starts making these weird noises and now the screen says "UP_Loader Mode Start" i dont know what that means but i dont think its good. and every time i reset my phone it starts dialing random people like its got a mind of its own. so if you get a random call from me, sorry. so i guess ill be phoneless AGAIN! this is why i dont have nice things. i always drop them in or on something. (btw, i did mess up my camera from the bon-fire night) you think i would learn my lesson and STOP bringing my phone in to the bathroom...maybe three times is the charm??

the assembly this weekend was great. have a few pics up on the pictalog. not that many though. Rebeca and Karina both got baptized :) couldnt't be happier to welcome our sisters!

i have a beach story to tell as well but i have to go now, so ill update later.

hope all are well!
