What do Cami and Joe Joe do all day?

Excellent question.

Joe is often out touring with the band "Les Sages." They're a huge success, and keep getting bigger. Particularly in Europe for some reason. It's hard to have him gone for so long, but it's even more rewarding to have him living his dream.



Les Sages. I miss that cardigan of Joe's.

Me and the kids usually stay at home. Trendalynne has taken a particular liking to her polo classes and Frugellen really likes his snowboarding.

Back to now.
Often if you ask Mr. and Mrs. Larson to participate in an activity on a weeknight, our response will be, "Oh no no no. We would rather be programming fancy computer things and learning how to move money around for hypothetical businesses."

It's true. We're in the very midst of our collegiate programs, and we are BIZ-AY!

Cami's list of things to do:
-Accounting class
-other classes if accounting leaves time
-working at the Soops Glam Library
-watching Ellen. I want her job one day. Which means I should start my stand-up comedian circuit now prolly.
-PRSSA (if not for me, where would the refreshments be on Wednesday??)
-Bradley lab for SRA (organization that teaches people in 3rd world countries how to farm and feed their families. Seriously check it out: http://feedtheworld.org You'll tear up.)
-cooking, napping, cleaning (in that order)

Joe's list:
-Da Band
-Stinking Information Systems core classes at the BYU.

Ok Marriott school of business. I understand that you guarantee things like 100% job placement, and free meals all day everyday, but who gave you permission to take up so much of my hunky hunky husbands time? How are we supposed to take pottery classes together?

Fact is, it's a super busy time of our lives. The laundry gets put off, the carpets go un-vacuumed, and the dishes form thoughtful sculptures as they dance across the kitchen counters. I can't wait until we have kids and life slows down so I can finally eat my bon bons and catch up on my soaps.

But. Elder Hales once spoke in general conference about not painting yourself into the figurative corners of life. Basically, he meant put the work in now, so that later opportunities won't be cut off from you. Like, go to college and do well so that the job of your dreams is available to you before it is too late. (Talk here)

So we'll go on. Pressforward. Carefully painting our gorgeous floor of life to leave us free to joyously walk onto whatever exciting opportunities come our way. Hopefully one of these opportunities will be owning a timeshare on a private island.
