Andrea's Baby Shower

My friend Andrea is having her second baby, a GIRL finally, and we are all so excited about it. She works at Red Robin with me, and although she had a "ward" baby shower, we decided that wasn't good enough, and that she needed a "work" baby shower. So me and Emily threw together around 80 sugar cookies, 75 cupcakes, grasshopper cookies, rice krispie treats, punch, and garden pizzas (all home made mind you) and had all the Red Robin girls, past and present come.

It was so much fun and we loved hanging out and talking, (without getting into trouble for ignoring our tables)

Most of all we are so excited for Andrea's new little one, and can't wait for her to come! Just one more week!!

Saying Hi to old friends and enjoying the food.


We are sad that Andrea will be gone for a little while, but we're happy for her at the same time! Who wouldn't want a 3 month break from Red Robin?

Missonary

Ben and I were fortunate enough to be the ones with his brother Eric his last few days before he went on his mission to Argentina.

Eric came down and we all went out to dinner, Ben and I said "ANYWHERE" thinking more Tocanos, but Eric wanted to go to Los Hermanos (a local Mexican restaurant) so since he was the boss... we went.

The next day we ran errands in Salt Lake, getting shoes and stuff for the mission, but we first went to the Salt Lake Temple for a session, which I had never done. It was such a beautiful temple, and even more so knowing all the effort it took the Pioneers to make it extra special.

Although they were dragging their feet, I did get a few pictures at the temple. I had my camera out when I dropped Eric off at the MTC, especially for Mom Louise, but he grabbed his bags and said, "See ya!" before he took off up the hill. I guess he was a little anxious. :)

It's weird to think about two years going by and how life could be different. Ben will be almost 30! ha ha! What an old man. :)

Honestly

I know my family reads my blog, but people, you honestly SUCK at leaving comments!

That's all I'm gonna say.

(Actually its not. Someone from Brenzikofen, Bern searched google for "Meghan Smith provo facebook" and looked at my page. Who is this person?)

Payback

Ben wasn't too please that I posted the pictures of him and the dogs. So I told him that I would post a picture of me doing the exact same thing. EXCEPT I send them to him at work to make him smile. But apparently that doesn't matter. So here it is...

Study Time?

So I was browsing our pictures and I found these...

This is the office (for now) where Ben shuts himself in to do homework. I think I know what he is really doing now...

Just for Fun

Ben and I were walking around Provo the other night, just enjoying being together on a beautiful autumn evening when we stumbled upon this little star.




Ben, knowing that I have always lamented how incredibly boring our last name is, thought: Maybe it's time for a name change....

The funny thing is it made me think of a merge between my sister Melissa SAXman and my name Megan SMITH.

Thus Sexsmith was born. Do you ever wonder how people got their last names? You know, it used to be said it was like an occupation, or owner or something of that nature. Like you would be Ben Blacksmith if you were a blacksmith, which got shortened to Black or Smith after centuries.

So where do you think Sexsmith came from...

Just food for thought.

Boo for being sick.

This is what has been happening lately...

Thursday...
Went to my rehearsal in Bountiful for the Conference Center's Savior of the World production. For those of you that I have not talk to about this (i.e. Mom or Ben) I am in the ensamble for most of the play, an angle and such, but for two scenes I am Hannah. I am among the small group (I think there is six of us) who see the resurrected Savior. Besides Mary Magdaline, we are the first. We rush in to tell Mary the mother of Christ the news. The other scene is we are picking oranges to prepare for our trip back to Galilee, as we were told to do by the Savior. The children are confused about the resurrection, and ask questions. Mary tells them the story of Jesus being lost in Jerusalem for 3 days to explain it.


Friday...
Met up with some Friends, Derek and Tania, to have dinner (peach chicken, thank you LeAnne) and go to the BYU football game. We initially intended to go see a movie, but an old professor of mine posted on facebook that he had four extra tickets. We were a little late to the game, but had so much fun. I also saw my brother John who was not seated too far from us. GO COUGS!


Sat...
General Conference. Rehearsal was canceled and Ben and I went out to lunch... sushi


and a movie... the invention of lying.



I do want to know why every comedy lately that looks like it has potential has to talk about religion and god and how it's all a bunch of crap. I hate that. Just let me believe what I believe and let it be. You don't see me mocking athiests and people who "find Jesus" Was he ever missing? No. You found your testimony of Jesus, not him.

Sat night... started to feel a little sick. Thinking maybe it was the sushi...

Sunday...
REALLY SICK. Sore throught and sneezing. LOTS and LOTS of sneezing. Not fun. Still going to try and go to work.



Monday....
Go to work.
Garrett asks me if I'm okay. I reply yes, but I don't want to get other employees sick, since that is how I got sick. Apparently it's going around. Garrett sends me home. Ben tells me to go work out, maybe I'll feel better. I laugh at him. Good luck with that hun.


Hopefully I get better soon. I could use some ice cream if any one is out there...



LOVE,

Meg
