Somehow I got looped into throwing a very large baby shower. I was called into the Relief Society presidency last month and since then, the requests have been intresting. Since our ward split last month, there are two wards basically coming which made for 100+ invites! I can't remember who thought that was a good idea, at least it's not at my house. If anything, this new mom will get a 100 presents, which will be nice for the couple.
Recently, we've have had a lot of issues in the neighborhood with vandalism and theft so we started a neighborhood watch program. One guy at our last meeting talked about shooting perpetrators on his property, despite the officer advising him not to. I'm not going to lie, after that meeting, some of the old people here scare me. This week especially, everyone has been on high alert.
Karen and I ran and delivered the invites at 6:30AM. We looked like the perfect criminals running up to houses in the dark with our headlamps, fiddling with thier door knobs, then running off. Lots of barking dogs and motion dectectors going off. My efforts to go undected were in vain. I was careful to turn off my lamp, quietly walk up to thier door, gengerly strech the rubberband over thier knob (without jiggling it!) then a dog would bark and I would scream. It was ridiculous, but a good time.
