career announcement

Many of you have been wondering what happens next after mark graduates in June. well, we've finally decided and are now announcing it to the world. so hold on to your hats. but first a little background. so, mark and i were at some friends house yesterday for a little round of "Settlers of Catan." :) (needless to say mark won....again.) (don't get excited, this does not mean we are going to homestead in some forsaken island somewhere.) but that is not the point. the point of all of this is to make more records... (Ok, i digress, sheesh. it's awful hard to play the quote game in type.) anyway, so i was telling the McBrides about Mark's ESP capabilities! :) and how i think he is an indigo child. (if you're not sure what that is, look it up on line and you will find a description of mark.) anyway, so we were joking about the whole thing and i was saying that i didn't think there was anything really supernatural about it all, it's just that mark picks up on the subtler things of people and situations better than most and does have some sort of weird sense as to what is about to happen. so Matt tells us to demonstrate, how mark can always finish my thoughts, even when they are totally random. so i say to mark: "i want to buy a... ( i think horse)" Mark suddenly blurts out "Pony" it was insane! i literally lept out of my chair! he did it...on demand... and in front of two witnesses...and we all know what happens by the mouth of two or three witnesses...
so I'm thinking of a career change for mark...we'll just have to buy him a gold tooth and a turban...

Ha ha ha! That's hilarious! And by the way, you are a great story teller. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to read what you write.

By the way - playing settlers together is another thing we missed out on while we both lived in Rexburg. Scott and I used to play all the time! Why did we never do this together??? Baffling.
