Life Insurance

I should be writing thank you notes right now....but I'm not. I am going to tell you a story instead.

There is this couple [this couple shall remain anonymous for their safety, and this is not about Husband and I, promise!] who decided to get a life insurance policy.

In order to get a life insurance policy a physical is required of both individuals. The results of this physical determines the amount required to pay each month.

In preparation for this physical the couple was told to fast and also to drink a lot of water. The husband learned that the wife needed only gain three more pounds in order to greatly decrease the amount of money they would have to pay.

The nurse was sweet and wanted to help the wife to hit the weight limit and so she told the wife to "Go get some clothes on and don't wear those light flip flops wear some clogs or something."

The husband still concerned that the wife wasn't going to make the weight limit and noticing that she hadn't drunk the water she was supposed to he gave the wife a loving tap as she stepped on the scale, sneakily dropping the water bottle into the hood of the her jacket.

Surprisingly the wife made the weight limit and resulted in her being "super preferred."

The wife is happy because she is super preferred [which means she is REALLY healthy] and the husband is happy because his monthly payment is significantly less.

See a little cheating can make things so much better!

I mean cheating is bad and you shouldn't do it. Remember it is always better to let a stupid big insurance company take all your money just because you are 3lbs away from "their" standard.

Procrastination

This is what I feel like I do some days. Sad but SO true.

Convenience

I am a woman of convenience. I am always looking for a way to make things easier or more convenient. Now I don’t want you to think I am lazy because if I had to do the hard way I would but if you don’t then why not use the genius inventions of others?

Husband and I received two gifts for our wedding that I absolutely LOVE!

First, the One Touch can opener. This little baby is the coolest thing I have ever seen! You place on the can. Press the button once and the thing moves around the can, opening it and then turning off on its own. GENIUS! I get excited every time I have a can I need opened. I can have a can being opened while I do other things. Love it!

Second, the Eureka Quick Up. This is my very best friend. Me and dust pans don’t get along and I am really not that fond of brooms either. This little baby is an answer to my prayers. It has the ability to vacuum on hard floors and carpet! So I can just vacuum up my kitchen floor switch it over to carpet, vacuum my kitchen rug and wallah I have a clean kitchen floor. No broom, no dust pan and no little line of dirt still remaining. It is a very beautiful thing!

Weekend Review

This review could be really long if I wanted it to be just because of the long weekend but I will just mention some of the highlights.

Friday:

· My birthday. Turned 22 on the 22. How cool is that? Husband was so sweet and presented me with a number of sweet thoughtful gifts throughout the day.

· Got to go home and see my wonderful family. Got sweet presents such as candy jar for my office desk and shampoo (I have two brothers who like to use mine so it was more like a replacement than a gift)

· Ate razzleberry pie with vanilla ice cream!

· Husband got me a PINK tennis racket! It is so cute! I am going to be an awesome tennis player...you just watch.

Saturday:

· Went b-day shopping with my mom! So fun plus I got some snazzy new work clothes.

· Recorded our "love story" with our videographer Nate Pickett. It was so much fun to do and we kind of felt like we were engaged again. So excited to see everything once it is done.

· Hung out with Husbands bros and their wives/dates. I enjoy being with Husbands family so much. They are so great and so much fun! We had a great time playing catch phrase.

Sunday:

· Church. Always a highlight.

· Played with Husbands nieces whom I adore and who taught me a cool new hand game in which my favorite part is "Kick your boyfriend out of town!"

· Made cookies

Monday:

· Visited the graves of loved ones.

· Shopping with Husband. Going to have him all decked out for the summer! P.S. Looked so good in his new T-shirt.

· BBQ with the family. My mom & dad throw a killer BBQ. I was stuffed to the brim! So yummy.

Those were the highlights of the weekend. I enjoyed the weekend so much and was so glad to have an extra day off. It was much needed and now I only have three more days to go before I get a weekend again! Yay! Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend as well.
