I'm so jealous

Friday for work I had to deliver some plans to a family. No joke the name of the road I had to take the plans was Hogs Are Beautiful Trail. I had to take a picture so my friends would believe me when I told them. (they think i have a lying problem, which i don't)

That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I wish i lived on a cool road like that. Maybe someday...

Farewells

Today my buddy Charlton entered into the MTC. He is going to the Tallahassee Florida Mission. I'm going to miss him but I know he will do a great job serving the Lord for 2 years. 

I SAVED A LIFE!!!

Today when I woke up I expected it to be a normal day just like any other day, but instead I ended up saving someone's life. That's right I am a HERO! hah

Not exactly what you had in mind but today I donated blood! :) Who knows what my rare blood could do for someone's life somewhere out there.

I was a little bored as you could tell. Sometimes being hero isn't as exciting as you think it would be.

CORN!!!

Tonight I decided to help my dear friend Lacie. Her family bought over 1500 ears of corn!

All in one night we shucked it, washed it, cooked it, cut it off the cob, then put it in ziploc bags.

My job was bagging. Wow it was a lot of corn. We decided that by me helping them I was doing community service since the manning/sherwood family is half the community haha.

No it wasn't a usual friday evening, but I enjoyed doing a goodly deed. In return I even got some corn for myself :)

I have a crazy family

This afternoon my nieces were running back and forth giving each other wedgies. We're not quite sure where they learned that from but I thought it was quite hilarious.

There's never a dull moment at the Whipple house when the nieces and nephews come over to play.

How Rumors Start

When I decided to go to San Juan for another semester I had to tell my friends why I wasn't going to UNM. I was telling Brooke why I wasn't going and I told her that I found the love of my life and was getting married in December. Brooke knowing that I'm a jokester and knew that it was only a lie replied "oh kait are you pregnant?" 

Then I went on to tell her the real reason why.

So Brooke works at the pool and she was telling some other girls about the whole thing because she thought it was pretty funny. While she was telling our friends someone, lets call her Helga, was eavesdropping on the conversation that they were having. Since Helga didn't receive the whole story the only part she heard was me being pregnant.

Helga went home and told her mom and who knows who else that I was pregnant.

So one lovely morning while my mom was walking at the track Helga's mom comes up to my mom and says 

Helga's mom: "Um I have a weird question to ask you.... Is kaitlin pregnant?"

My mom: "Uh what? Kaitlin? No she's not pregnant!"

Helga's mom: "Helga just heard some girls talking and they said that she is pregnant."

My mom: "NO Kaitlin isn't pregnant she doesn't even have a boyfriend!"

Helga's mom: " Well you know that happens to young girls all the time."

My mom: "NO uhh Kaitlin is not pregnant."

So my mom comes home and tells me what happens and I just laugh. My mom didn't think it was very funny because she didn't want some rumor going around about the stake presidents daughter. My Sisters & friends thought it was funny too because they know that is not me. 

I learned my lesson(s) from this though. 

1) don't believe rumors

2) don't make up lies about falling in love (even though your friends know its a joke)

3) If you do make up a lie make sure there are no eavesdroppers hah

Being a Good Samaritan :)

About a couple months ago two of my friends and I, Charlton and Jacob were on our way home from Farmington and I was driving. I was turning off the main highway to the old highway that goes to my house. It was a really windy day and as we were turning there was a sign on the corner that had been blown over so I pulled over my car put it in park and said to them 

"Hey lets go pick up that sign."

They were like "ok we'll do our good deed for the day". 

I started to get out of my car very slowly and I was only halfway out by the time they had already closed their doors. So I pull a fast one on them and hurry up, get back in and throw the care back into drive. I peeled out leaving them in the dust and in the rearview mirror I can see their faces drop and imagine them saying OH CRAP!! ( ha if not worse especially since it was freezing outside)

I'm not that mean of a friend so I don't go far and get out of my car and start laughing as hard as I could, because after all it was hilarious. They run to the car and get in because by that point they don't trust me anymore.. Then I said 

"No I'm serious lets really pick up that sign."

We went back and picked it up and I seriously laughed the whole way home. They ended up laughing a little bit too and admitted that it was a good joke. Ha hA I still laugh when I think about it. 

Unexpected Treasure

One of my favorite things is putting on a pair of pants you haven't wore in a long time, then you stick your hands in your pocket and find some money you forgot about.

Of course the money I found this morning didn't look like this <-- but that sure would've been nice.

The money i found looked more like this -->

Even though it wasn't much it still makes my day finding a little cash unexpected.

Jury Duty

I think it was February that I was called to serve on jury duty. Lucky little me was going to school full time so I figured I'd be able to get out of it, so I sent in my schedule. Then I get another letter basically saying "oh no problem you can serve in the summer." Dangit!

I was rescheduled to serve in July and started out with 6 days throughout the month. I was not very happy about it. I am 19 years old and have to serve on jury duty. That made me feel like an old woman. Then they gave me 4 more days which made me even more grouchy about it.

I called every night and morning before my scheduled date and over and over I didn't have to appear. Well today was my last day and guess what? I didn't have to appear!

I went the whole month and didn't have to appear once! Hooray for me. I think it is because I was on Panel 7. 7 is a lucky number after all.

Bowling & Missing Babies

Last night me and a couple of my friends decided to go bowling since we haven't been in a while. We were on our 3rd and last game and we all sucked so bad we were just messing around. Lacie was going to bowl when this little boy got in her way. He was probably 1 1/2. We finally got him out of the way and continued bowling.
We didn't think anything of the boy cause we figured his parents were around there somewhere and just didn't see him come by us. Well the boy keeps walking around and his parents are no where to be found. His whole family was bowling near us and had probably 4 or so kids and they forgot one! So the bowling alley calls the police because they don't know what else to do with the kid.

Finally they find out who the parents are but come to find out the kids just got out of child haven because the parents weren't taking care of them so they don't even give the little boy back to the parents. They give him to some family friends. I thought it was kind of funny at first that they forgot him but it didn't sound like the first time they've done it. Poor kids...
