Jumping Back In Time

So one of my friends decided to throw an AWESOME Halloween party this year.  It was a Roaring 20's Speakeasy Murder Mystery and let me tell you, they went ALL OUT.  I was so impressed and hope to someday throw a party that is even half as cool as this one was.  I seriously felt so cool from the moment I walked in the door, it was like we literally went back in time.  Despite my best efforts to dress like a flapper, I really ended up looking like an innocent little 1920's girl that certainly did not belong at a speakeasy, but luckily they didn't kick me out.  Everyone else's costumes were AMAZING!  I felt so out of place standing next to them they looked that good.  


Me and the Hubs started out by playing a game of pool, which I won... by default... after I had already lost by default but the hubs let the game continue. Doesn't he look like such a stud in this shot!  :)


The party took place in a room that had an actual bar.  They made up some awesome virgin drinks that were made to order and boy were they tasty!  Well, all except the Tabasco sauce and Ginger Ale shots we decided to take... not the greatest idea we ever had.


We also played a murder mystery game.  I was the second to last one alive and I totally knew who the killer was but didn't get a chance to call him out before he killed me.  Bummer. We all had slips of paper that said how we were to die, I spun to death.  Jeff Hiccuped to death.  Another person sung to death.  It was a riot!  

I am so glad we had the chance to go.  It was so fun to do something Halloween related that did not involve kids and candy (not that I am opposed to that, but this was just the date night we needed!) and we were able to make some new friends too.  :)  

You really need to check out Elyse and Ashley's blogs.  Their post do the party much more justice.  They have way more pics, and are much better with words then me.  Not to mention Elyse put videos of both the girls and the boys taking the shots... awesome!  Thanks for an awesome evening and the pics to remember it by.  You guys are the best!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
