Last Monday, after FHE I went to play Ultimate Frisbee. I haven't played in a long time so I didn't remember the rules. To my understanding it was basically football with a Frisbee. It went something like this.
The guy next to me caught the Frisbee. Then to his surprise I was right in using his face using my defensive basketball skills I had learned in previous years. The guy let out a "what the" as I knocked the Frisbee out of his hands. It fell behind him so I quickly grabbed him by the waste and through him behind me. Then the guy says something like "Hey, ahh, that's still mine." I asked why. I didn't think I had done anything wrong. He then informed me that your not allowed to hit the Frisbee out of a persons hand. I said OK and then let him throw it. I decided that I needed to know what all the rules are. He told me that I wasn't so post to touch the person with the Frisbee, knock it out of a person hand or run with it.
What I learned-I like Football better.

Calling
Hurray!!! I got my calling, and it wasn't to teach. Instead I get to help on the activities committee. I have always hated planning things so this is a great opportunity to change that. Hopefully our activities will still be as fun as the activities we have had before. If you have any ideas for fun activities please let me know.

Singles Activity
Last Friday my ward went on a temple/ diamonds back game trip. It was wonderful to go to the temple. I felt like I hadn't been in forever. The temple was busy so we had to wait an hour and a half. It gave me time to think about the people who had been waiting for their work to be done for hundreds of years. It defiantly helped me be patient. It was also nice to have the time to sit and think about heavenly things or read my scriptures. I need to go to the temple more often.
After we went to the temple we went to the D-backs game. There was a seat next to my friend Stace. A Jr. high boy came and sat by us for a bit and then left. A Friend, Sterling, asked us why we didn't get his number. I told Stace I didn't date high school boys while I was in high school and I wasn't going to start now. I am sad to say we lost by one point to the L.A. Doggers. I still had fun though. After the game they had fireworks. It was cool to see them so close. I had to plug my ears though. On the way home Stace asked if I was ever worried that I would get a divorce. I told her that there were times when I use to be but that I had learned a lot from my parent's divorce so I think I will be ok. She then asked me what I had learned. Some of the things she had thought of before. Other things she had never considered but was amazed at how much they made sense. At the end she thanked me then said she felt like she had just been to a fire side. My reply was something like "Oh yah, Lesson on marriage with Rissa who's never dated."
She thought it was funny but still thought my view points were good. It made me feel good about myself.
Next Sunday I get a calling. I don't know what it is yet but I know I'm getting one. If you can jinks yourself I'm probably am about to. I hope my calling isn't as a teacher, especially a Sunday School teacher. I am one of the youngest people in my ward. Every guy I have meet has been on a mission and more then half the girls have too. I just think we should learn from our elders. Then again the lord does like to make weak things strong and there is only so many callings in singles ward. I mean there is no primary, nursery, ym or yw. Well see how it goes. All I know is whatever it is I get to say yes and then learn.

Home can be a Heaven on Earth
About two weeks ago my family had a reunion. For anyone who didn't get to go you totally missed out. There was always someone to talk too, play games with and help with anything that needed to be done. My Friend that I brought up seemed to be impressed by how close our family was. I was so proud. I can honestly say that our Family reunions are my favorite thing. I love them even more then Christmas. I love being surrounded by all of you amazing people. You are all so talented and smart. I am so proud to call you each family. What I love best is that I feel completely loved by all of you and that you all love each other too. No matter where we have our reunions we make it a home for the time that were there and I truly feel that it's the closest thing to living in heaven on earth. I am so excited for our next reunion.

Cold Sores
This is a little negative but very true.
In case any of you didn't see the sore on the side of my mouth last week, yes, i get cold sores. I admit that it was a bummer to get one then. I didn't get to blow bubbles on a single babies stomach or kiss Spencer and Emily. A few days later though and that sounds heavenly. I now have three gross ones that hurt. I know its bad of me but I ditched Break the Fast and I plan to ditch F.H.E. and Ultimate Frisbee tonight too. The only thing that has managed to get me out of my house is the need for milk and some comfort food (things with sugar). Now that I have those things nothing will get me out. I would like to say that it is not the fact that they are unattractive that keeps me inside. It's that fact that there are uneducated people that think that the stran of herpes that gives you cold sores is the same as genital herpes. These people treat me like a slut after they see that I get them. The nice thing to do is to explain that its not the same thing, but what I want to do is walk right up, kiss them on the cheek, then say "perform your own study". (sigh) Lucky for them I don't.
