Alert the Bishop....

Luke wants a calling! ----Of course the calling he wants doesn't actually exist.
On the way home from the store tonight I was checking the weather forecast for the next few days.
Me: "Its going to be 59 degrees tomorrow?!... Its going to be chilly!"
Luke: "Greeeeeat!---that means the thermostat at church will be set to like...90 degrees! Now--- that's a calling I would like to have---thermostat monitor! You don't have to be a member to do that do you?!"
Me: (Laughing) "I don't think think that exists but maybe you could talk to the Bishop tomorrow about it."

He's right though...the chapel used to be the worst. Now its the Young Woman's room~! I swear, the girls were bringing blankets with them to class! Blankets! (I only wished I had thought of it first) Then for a while it was so sweltering hot and stuffy I could have sworn I lost a few pounds by the time class was over.
Nevertheless, I am hoping Luke isn't right tomorrow. He is all ready disgruntled about not finding the Texas Tech football game on satellite this evening. I told him I was sorry, but that offered him very little comfort. He snapped, "Thats like pre-empting a new episode of Grey's Anatomy for a rerun of Seinfeld." I just looked at him like he was crazy and said "I'm sorry dear."

If he ever wants to catch a Texas Tech game he can always call the Kinghorns! We have the ESPN college game plan so we never miss a play....and it was a good one. Not a down-to-the-wire nail biter like last week, but the good guys won big time!

I'll be happy to have Luke serve as thermostat monitor!

If there is one thing I learned in my first married ward at BYU, it is anything can become an offical calling. I have to say I would really like someone to have that calling. I can never dress for church according to the weather outside. I must dress thinking about what the inside of the building will feel like.

Oh yes Carrie...we tried calling you last night. Luke said to call and find out where the game was---so you might see our number on caller ID. When there was no answer he said "Where are they??" I said, "Watching the game and they obviously don't want to be disturbed!"

I have to tell you the temperature in that church building is one thing I DON'T miss about Bakersfield...The bishop needs to get on that one...Luke would do a great job at that and I am sure there is an entire ward that would be appreciative!!!

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
