It has been as relatively uneventful week.

Karl and I have both been so crazy busy at work, that most of our free time has been spent watching TV and sleeping. We baby sat a friend’s little boy this week, as well as kept busy with our callings. The Primary program is coming up next Sunday, and we have done everything that Saturday morning came with a welcome sleep in.

But, I couldn’t sleep.

So I got up and started to clear out the second bedroom. Karl got up a couple hours later, we worked on it together, went to Guru’s for breakfast and took a huge load of stuff to the DI. We had set with our friend Alicia, to meet up with us, but it took us a while to be able to meet up.

To take our Christmas Card.

We had kind of a negative response from our card last year:

I love this picture.

Apparently, people didn’t get it. They didn’t understand why we were in the middle of the street. We thought that it was so funny. So we thought, this year we could try to pose on a spot that was just as different. On the roof of our apartment building.

We also wanted to incorporate the same green chair.

The unfortunate thing was that by 4:00 PM, the light was a little harsh.

We struggled to get our eyes open.

Another problem was getting the chair up there. Getting up there our selves was tricky enough we had to hand the chair up to the roof from a balcony. This was all complicated by the fact that the roof was partially covered by alge water run off from the swamp coolers.

This one even spawned a plant.

Here are some of our rejects of the day:

I am actually really excited about the one the we picked. It is cool.

We sent it to Costco, for printing, so look in your mail boxes, after thanks giving, for what we came up with in the end.

Also, thanks so much to Alicia! For:
A. Taking our picture, on the hot sweaty roof.

B. Coming up with fun poses.

C. Risking life, limb, towel and chair so that this photo shoot could happen.

D. For not charing us a dime.

Love you!
