5 reasons why I hate my cat

5 reasons why I hate my cat:


1. We now use half-shredded toilet paper every time we go to the bathroom.

2. He is EVERYWHERE. There is no surface in our home too high enough for him to get on top of.

3. He wakes up every morning between 6-6:30 am. He thinks that we should be up that early too.

4. He has peed on both our bed and our couch.

5. He can be a huge brat (I will still get scratch marks).


5 reasons why I love my cat:


1. He is super sweet and LOVES Kevin. He will cry by the door whenever he leaves.

2. He loves to play with people, and has never been scared of strangers.

3. He can use the toilet.

4. He will follow me around the apartment when I'm the only one there, he's always good company : )

5. Will snuggle and give kisses (when he's in the mood)



We love our crazy cat!

Todd's mission farewell!

We got to go to California for my little brother's mission farwell on Sunday March 13th. My parents flew us all down on Friday, and then Kevin and I flew home late Sunday night. Everything was awesome except for the lovely 5-hour delay at the airport Friday night. We were supposed to land in California around 7pm. Then we were all going to go out to dinner with the family. However, we didn't get there until after midnight! Totally sucked especially since our trip was so short anyways. The weekend was really fun though, spending time with family, going out to eat, shopping, and seeing a movie. Todd's farwell on Sunday was great, and we had fun visiting with all of our family. Todd got ordained on Sunday night after we left for the airport. My parents and brothers came up to Provo to take Todd to the MTC. On Tuesday night, we went out to dinner and to the temple as a family. It was awesome! It was sad to say goodbye to Todd after. Everyone is seriously going to miss that kid! He reported to the MTC on Wednesday March 16. He will be serving in the Des Moine, Iowa mission. Good luck Elder Fenn, we love you!
