Let everything that hath breath -

Praise the LORD!!!
After church last night around 9:15 we walked outside and lo and behold there was a COW running down the street! One of the guys tried to stop it but it just ran faster - yikes! I called 911 and reported it - gave her the church address, what direction on which street the cow was trotting, yes it had a rope around it's neck, what color, my name and phone number, blah blah blah. I told her I wasn't staying, but that there were others still there. The lady was laughing by the time I was done, but said she would send someone out. Britt and Taisah were riding with me to Shake & Bake(Steak & Shake), so we went on to the restaurant. End of story, right? Not! Apparently 5 other cars (my mother included) with people from our church in them followed the poor, tired, distressed cow down the street and trapped the poor thing. Alan succesfully ran over the end of the rope that was around it's neck. They somehow tied the rope to someone's car or something and took it about a mile back down the street, past the church and down another street to a pasture they thought it came out of. Somewhere in the midst of all this, the cops showed up and just watched - they offered NO assistance whatsoever!!! They were probably laughing at a bunch of Apostolics in suits chasing a little cow around! lolol!!! I hope someone got pics of this! We now have had chickens, roosters, dogs, pigs(one that actually got INTO the church foyer!), lizards, and who knows what else at the church! Let ALL creation praise Him!!! We won't be forgetting this one anytime soon!


And about my marriage situation - for those of you that were at Stephen's last weekend for all of our "Ted stories" - he's baaaack! GAAAAAAH!!! Here's what happened...I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything set up for Sunday morning fellowship - my mom had come with me(she normally doesn't), and two of the girls that help were also there, but they were in the kitchen. I knew Ted was there, but he's never bothered me so I just kind of tried to ignore him. My mom & I were dragging some extra chairs out of the way when Ted hollers out "And who are YOU married to?" I snapped my head around and with a flushed face I said "I'm not married"...he replied "Well you oughta be!" EWWWWWWW!!!! I snapped my head back around and dashed for the table closet. I snatched a table and, using it like a shield where he (hopefully!) couldn't see me anymore, darted toward the back. Ted was still walking the opposite way, just watching me and grinning. He then said "I was just messing with ya, sister!" I murmured something like "It's ok" or something to that effect - completely mortified!!! I quickly set up the tables and ran (not literally, but almost!) to the kitchen. I refused to go back out until there were more people there. I felt so dirty, like he was checking me out! BLECH BLECH BLECH!!! Somewhere in all of this my dad and Bro Najera charged out of the SS room where they were having their Elder's meeting, thinking I was out there by myself with him - you never know what Ted is going to do next! They talked to him for a little bit (Dad made sure Ted knew he was my dad), and he finally wandered off after Bro Pulley (Bro Najera told Ted that Bro Pulley wanted to talk to him - tee hee!!!). I was SO embarassed!!!

I haven't forgotten about Tim's socks, I still need to upload the pics from this weekend onto my computer at home. Veeeeeeery interesting!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

peace, love, cows, and crazy people
