Surprise! A new post

A week and a half ago, the lovely girls I work with managed to completely, utterly surprise me with a shower.

I had just come back to the office, flustered and tense because a frustrating visit to the bank had made me late for my 3 p.m. "meeting."

I walked into to the Conference room...


...and my entire office is staring back at me.

Me: Bright red face, cold sweat, no brain function.

Our CEO, Bill, said some nice things and then everyone wanted a speech. The only type of extemporaneous speaking I know how to do is bearing my testimony, but luckily, even in my mental fog, I didn't start with "I know the Church is true. I love my mom and dad..."

Staff gave me several lovely gifts, best of which was a collection of wedding advice, which includes:

1) The most important words in any marriage, "I'll do the dishes"
2) It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
3) "I got gaps; you got gaps; we fill each other's gaps" (with a picture of Rocky)
4) Be best friends
5) Eat lots of chocolate together
6) Love is why we get married...Our believe in God is why we stay married.
7) Even when you're married, always keep dating (each other, of course)

Finally: Quit PRSA and have lots of babies. That's from Heather, who's giving me the scheming look below. Maybe she wants my job. Hmm...
