Award winning

Friday night was the annual ward chili cook off. As many of you know Joel makes a mean chili so he decided to enter the competition and WON!!! We are so proud. He beat out this girl in our ward that always brags about how good her cooking is. Here is a picture of the awesome award. We have it displayed in our front room if you want to come check it out in person.


Unfortunately, I was not at the chili cook off. I was at Twilight!!! It was sooo good. I was totally prepared to hate the movie because i thought Edward was ugly and i did not think a movie could live up to what i pictured in my head. I want to go see it again. So, my friend Brittan's friend reserved a theater at the Gateway for a Friday night show. We were told we could not line up till 7:15. I got to the Gateway at 5:20ish and spent 20 min trying to find somewhere to park. We had a little dinner at CPK and headed to the theater at 7:05. The line for our theater was huge. We were so annoyed. People had been standing in line since 6:30. I was not willing to have a bad seat for the movie when we were told we could not line up till 7:15 so I went and talked to the manager. He said he was very sorry that they had to let them line up early to clear out the lobby. I said that was fair but since i was pregnant could he move me to the front of the line. That's right i played the pregnant card. Needless to say i was the first one in the theater and saved some killer seats for the girls i was with. The good seats made up for all the death glares i got walking into the theater ahead of the people that had been standing in line for an hour. Ha Ha HA!!! I was also the first to win the raffle that night, I should have driven to Vegas. Man i was feeling lucky. I recommend everyone go see Twilight!!!
