TAG! You're IT!!!

All about SarJen Thanks to President braking rules, and going over her limit, we have been "tagged". So here it goes...

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

President's birthday day!

Thursday, December 6th. President's birthday day. It was awesome. We have been planning it for well over a month now, and it was way different than what we had originally been thinking. It was the two of us, Ciera, and President of course.


We started off by going to the Cape Sante lookout in Anacortes where we ate some sandwiches, which was absolutely freezing, so it was basically the torture test for Ciera and President. They did well. Stuck through it beautifully...



They thought our snacks (pb& nutella, milk, and chips) were funny...


I think that used to be a pb & nutella sandwich?...





Mmm... sandwich...President showing off her talent of putting 5 whole cookies in her mouth at once!!!




Then, they did the thing where they look at eachother and say with their eyes, "These girls are crazy!"



Then, we hit the Donut House (duh),

Mmmm.... Donuts....

but we weren't allowed to eat the donuts. Headed back to Oak Harbor. Three words: Walmart scavenger hunt. It was hilarious. The two of us verses President and Ciera. We had to find 40 things... and it took us less than an hour!






President and Ciera's pictures for the scavenger...
There are about 40 items, so we'll try to narrow them down to the funny/semi-funny ones.



Someone wearing hooker boots.


A fast-food worker.



Something you just made (a lovely bouqet).


Something you can't see (air).
A stranger who looks trustworthy.
Something you've seen in a dream.

A toilet seat.
Something that always makes you smile (Christmas music).
A toilet seat cover.
Someone wearing a scarf.
A bald man.

A good idea.


Something(one) older than you (according to Ciera).
A dog.
Two friends.

Something delicious.

A source of energy.
Something frightening.
The worst idea for a tv show.
Something you wouldn't eat.






After Walmart we headed back to Ciera's where we made dinner for the lovely ladies all by ourselves (we're going to be awesome home-makers). Then we played Loaded Questions and ate our donuts!




P.S. Dustin almost made Jenna cry (she was trying insanely hard not to, barely succeeded)!





Check for updates later if you want to see the true brilliance of the night (Jenna's and Sarah's hunt)!!!

DinDin for Leaders!

As young women, we are a lot to handle. Therefore, we need some pretty courageous ladies to keep us in line! Oh, and we do! They are always so wonderful to all of us and always great examples, strengths, and brilliant lights to us. So, most definitely, they deserve a little of the spotlight every once in a while.
So, on this Tuesday night, we took our Tuesday activity into our own hands. The leaders got a dinner (spaghetti, of course), tributes by their husbands (funny and heartfelt), dessert (chocolate pecan strata and strawberry dessert), and presents (bracelets and personalized mugs). Lots and lots of laughing... let me tell ay.
The girls pulled through beautifully and were all incredible helpers and made the festivities go off without a hitch. It was a ridiculous amount of fun, at least we know it was for the two of us.



Everyone eating, hopefully having a good time.
Ciera dying of laughter, because of President's snowsuit story.
The guests of honor.
Our FANTABULOUS YW leaders... see what we have to put up with? Goofballs.
And that's.......... our President.....

Jenna... spilling Martinelli's all over the floor and then catching it with her apron.

Shannon pouring President's birthday goblet.
The behind-the-scenes babysitting crew!
