Murder Party

Last night, I hosted my first "Murder Party". It was a blast. I didnt get a picture of the invitations but my friend, Chris helped me plan. She is the party queen. The invitations were pill bottles and the invite was on the prescription inscription. With the invites were a background on the invitees characters they were going to play. Everyone came in character and that made it extra fun.

The setting was Chicago. We had Chicago playing in the background and everyone brought "pizzas".
We just sat and ate while we tried to figure out "who dunnit".

Bryson aka Professor Harold Chung

Tyler aka mafia man Louis Cagliostro

Katie aka Art Director Margaret Chun

Ken aka party boy Bobby Herrera

Emily aka mysterious woman Pauline Thompson

Chris aka "I get around girl", Fiona McAllister

Robb aka PhD Candidate Timothy Kane

Of course I had Robb be the killer. He fooled everyone for about two hours. I knew he could be sneaky and that he was a good liar. That made him the best actor for the job.

We had a very entertaining night. We even made up our own game called "Hitchhiking to BYU."

Cant wait till our next party!!

Jasmines Birthday

My baby girl became a teenager today.

Things I love about Jasmine:
1) She is a natural leader
2) She has great maternal instincts. She will be an amazing mother one day.
3) She has good self-esteem. Thats an accomplishment when you are this age.
4) Her laugh (It sounds just like my sister, Angies)
5) Her best friend is her grandma
6) She loves the gospel
7) Her athletic ability
8) Her beautiful singing voice
Theres a song by Brittany Spears called "Not a girl, not yet a woman". I love the chorus. It says: "Im not a girl, not yet a woman. All I need is time, a moment that is mine, while Im in between."
I know that Jazz will make her moment great. I am so proud to call her my daughter.
Happy Birthday, baby girl!!

MY NEW LOVE

My new love is Zumba! Thanks Amy!!
Tuesday and Thursday nights, me and 50 other women, (and one man, and I use that word loosely), meet in a dark warehouse for some intense aerobics with a Latin flare. Our teacher is a peppy, energetic Latin Goddess who looks like she is 20 but is actually 45. Boy can she shake it! Thank heavens its very dark, because although I feel as coordinated and sexy as the teacher, Im actually a stumbling, gyrating klutz.
I took Jasmine and Bobby with me Thursday and Bobby came home and told Robb it was torture. "Old ladies shaking their boobs and butts!"
I've never looked forward to exercising before but I love my Tuesday and Thursday nights. Ive even sacrificed my Thursday night television, which isn't even that good anymore anyway.
If you haven't tried it, you should give it a try!!
