Kissing Cousins

First of all, alot of people are wondering who JP is who commented on my blogs. It was Joshua Michael Parry. I am glad I cleared that up for you.

Also, Grandma told me to watch my language and the only thing I can think of is when I wrote He** which obviously mean Heck. Silly Grandma. Swearing is for kids.

So yesterday afternoon I went to the Mundy family's house for dinner. It was delicious! Then Tyler, Ingrid and I left to go visit the McCrackens. It wasn't as akward as I thought it would be the whole time! I liked hearing about when mom and dad were first married. For example, Ed McCracken gets tickets to the BYU games every year and they invited mom and dad to go. Well to make his extremely long story short, BYU lost and he was NOT happy. So dad and Kenna fought over who was going to sit next to Ed in the front seat because they both knew better that to sit next to angry Ed. I thought it was pretty amusing. It was cool when they brought all of Robert's (they call him Rob but the US calls him Bert so I was confused as to what I should write) gold records up to show us. I have never seen real gold record before.

We left and headed to Aunt Deann's and Uncle Kent's house. I had previously told Tyler that I was going to hook him up with Melissa. Now for those of you who do not know the relation between all of us, Tyler and Ingrid are my mom's sister's kids. Melissa is my dad's brother's kid. So no relation. We got there and Melissa looked so attractive which was good for Tyler. We started the night with banana splits and a milkshake for me. They were DELICIOUS! I love ice cream. All of Kent and Deann's kids were ther except Melanie who is on a mission. We got into the discussion on how we make milkshakes. We all make them the Parry way which is puttingg ice cream and milk in a cup... take a knife and chop away at it making the perfect amount of chunky and the perfect amount of creamy. Then we made fun of people who make milkshakes in blenders. Shmucks! Then we got the game of pit out and started playing. It wasn't very long until we put that away and started playing apples to apples. This is where the flirting began! Tyler scooted up close to Melissa, like some kind of trained professional! He is a sly dog! then they started whispering and laughing. That's when the cheating started... Melissa reached her arm around him and dropped a card in his lap, although this was a cute picture... The were not subtle about it and they were trading cards. We played for awhile and they really hit it off. we had family prayer and then left. Tyler mentioned to me on the way home that if their kids turn out retarded then he is coming after me. I had to remind him they are not blood cousins. I think this will be a fun and interesting set up.

I am getting two new roommates today. They came over on Saturday with a few of their things and just to get a few decorating ideas. They were planning on getting couch covers and rugs and whatever else an apartment needs. Amelia and I don't care what they do as long as they know we are not contributing a dime. They started looking around and they saw Amelia's Van Gogh painting that we love right where it is. One of the girls came up to me and said, "ummm, does this usually stay here? because we have pictures of Jesus to hang" What is she trying to say... we like van gogh better than Jesus? Even though we have pictures of Jesus everywhere. Of course my first thought was, No we actually take it down periodically or we just move it across the wall every week and then back. But I didn't want to have one of these roommate wars so I just nicely said, "Yes that usually stays there. We are pretty particular about our pictures. We don't care what you guys do or hang as long as our stuff isnt moved." She seemed pretty annoyed but listen here honey, we were here first and you are ugly! Then she wanted to put strips of carpet, that have been torn out of her aunt's house, on our living room floor. I dont know about these to characters. So I have to go home and make sure all our crap is in the same place. I don't think they are allowed to move in until the 1st but I guess when they go to get their keys then the manager can tell them!

I know this is titled Kissing Cousins but no cousin have kissed at all. Or non-cousins for that matter. I just thought it would grab the attention of the readers. Did it work?

Get the hint!

Hello! It has been a little over a week since I last posted because I have been really busy!

First, I went to vegas to visit my family(as most of you already know). Michael did the sacrament blessing for the first time ever! You might think that he would be the one that messed up since it was his first time but you are dead wrong! The man who is supposed to have set an example for him(his own father) is the one who stumbled on his words a bit. But they all did a wonderful job and all 4 of them looked so handsome in their matching ties!

It was really fun to see all my nephews and my niece again. Brody loves me the best! It is so fun to see how each of them are growing up and the new words Brody and Cadence knew!

We all had a good time in California at the beach and at disneyland and since the majority of you read Zach's blog then I wont go into detail. Being repetative is just annoying. Being repetative is just annoying.

I went to Idaho this last weekend for Grandma's 80th birthday party. It was really fun to see all of the extended family again. Well not all of them. Maybe 8% of them. We all sat in Uncle Bert and Aunt Lova's living room sharing memories we had of Grandma. Uncle Jay went on to tell a memory, that I wont repeat because I might lose some readers, and in it there was a man that said, "how ya doin' boys?" in a very annoying voice. Alan and Taylor thought it was HILARIOUS! They started practicing that same phrase in that same voice over and over again. Soon they started talking like that all the time. By the 3rd day at Grandma's house I wanted to stick my fork right in my neck! Uncle Jay went over to Grandpa and jokingly said, "Now that the boys know how to say that you will be enjoying it even when I am gone!" While gripping my fork tight I said with a sarcastic voice and a smile, "I never enjoyed it." Then I fake laughed. It was said jokingly but I meant it 100%. Grandpa turned to me and said,"it is pretty irritating isn't it?" It was just really annoying ok?

On the drive home from Idaho, Amelia and I were going INSANE from being in a car for the amount of time that we were, that we started singing everything we were thinking. Which made an awesome song for when I had to pee. Then we were making every Newsies song we heard into a rap, adding Zs to words. We spit all over ourselves when we were beatboxing! It was ridiculous! We need to practice, Fo shizzle my nizzle!

We made it home just in time to go pee and get to ward prayer. Our ward had split so we didn't know anyone! There weren't really any hot guys and on top of everything else they started 15 minutes late so we were forced to mingle. The old wards were dividing on different sides like we were gangs wanting to kill eachother. This one guy in our ward offered to help us unpack our car. He was weird and we didn't want him near us. He kept talking to us. We took this guy named Justin home since he lives in the building right next to ours and he helped us unpack. What a nice boy! The weird guy came over and just stood at the front door since we didn't invite him in. He finally said,"Should I come in or stay out or what?" Amelia replyed,"Whatever you want." He stayed for an hour even after we had said we were going to bed within the next 15 minutes. Then Jacob waslked in and cramped this guy's style. Amelia and I had washed our face, put our pajamas on and brushed our teeth and he still didn't get the hint! We were tired and I wanted to talk to Jacob about what he did this weekend(you're welcome Jacob). Jacob went to go make a root beer float and gave me a look like "get him the HE** out of here. I read the look like "come here so I can tell you something" so I went in the kitchen and right when I did, this guy asked Amelia out! That is the second time in a month she has been asked out by freaks in front of me in her pajamas! He finally left! She was pretty upset but I looked at it as if she had just taken one for the team. Thank you Amaulia!

That is it for me!

Sweet dreams indeed!

Hello all. Welcome to my new blog. I thought that if everyone found Zach's life interesting enough than you will be very easy to please. (just kidding Zach you are definitely WAY more interesting than me.) I thought it would be fun for everyone I dont get to talk to that much to know what goes on in my life day after day.

For those of you that dont know I work as the store manager of a loan company. I just got a raise and my boss just told me she is working on getting me another one! I will be rich! I enjoy my job most of the time. I have wanted to be a detective since I was very young and I get to do alot of detective work trying to hunt people down that owe us money. I do alot of collections at my job.

Just this last monday, I had to give a lesson in Family Home Evening for my ward! I am a FHE group leader. As many of you know(because I called and asked you to give the lesson) I was pretty nervous. It doesn't make me nervous to speak in front of people but it does make me nervous to teach people! Especially things that they probably know more about than me! And to make things worse... I had a dream about this boy in my ward the night before that is quite attractive and he showed up in the middle of my lesson. So I got really distracted and my mind was not thinking about forgiveness anymore, it all the sudden switched to my dream. It was kind of embarassing to stumble on a couple words trying not to think about the dream I had the night before. To spice it up a bit, I was wearing a black shirt that has an x-ray on the front and a heart on it. It kind of looks like one of those halloween costumes but cuter, and I made a joke about forgiveness making you happier inside while I was pointing to my t-shirt and they seemed to enjoy it. So even though I was nervous, it went pretty well.

At church on Sunday we found out our ward is splitting. I hope that there are nice people in the ward or at least attractive mean people. Either one would be fine. I hope we have a nice bishop too. I was gone grocery shopping at Macey's last night because they had a sale 11 items for $10, and any of you who has been a poor single person knew I had to jump at the oppurtunity, and the bishop, relief society president and elders quorum president all stopped by my apartment to meet us and Amelia said they were really nice. I just hope that they continue to act that way.

Me and my cousin Ingrid have been hanging out alot. We have alot of fun together. It is nice to have a cousin my age around to do silly things with. We are going to get dressed in 80's clothes and go skating and go to the nickel arcade to play dance dance revolution. We went to DI with my home teachers and tried on a hideous wedding dress, that was actually quite slimming on her, and another little girls dress with gold cowgirl boots. We looked hot!

Until next time. I hope my post was everything you expected it to be and more. I love you all!
