The Stay-At-Home Daughter

I told my Dad I thought it was time I quit my job to become an official stay-at-home daughter. He said ok! :) My sister said I should start my own blog called "The Stay-At-Home Daughter." Since I don't need my own blog, I thought I owed a post to it here.
Anyway - doesn't that sound great? I could stay at home and take care of the house - the cooking, the cleaning, managing the finances, having the visiting teachers over during the day, plant some flowers - you know, all the typical stay-at-home daughter stuff. I get a night or 2 off each week to go hang out with the girls. And I wouldn't be too expensive-Sounds fun to me! :)

The Family's Newest Addition

Today we welcome a new addition to the Sisterhood Family: Kevin Monson (no, he's not President Monson's grandson). He had much opposition to this weekend - the random, HUGE, snowstorm in Dallas almost defeated him. But he made it, he proposed, and for that, Kevin, we are grateful. Here are some reasons, in no particular order, why we like Kevin:


1. He knows the meaning of "Cowboy Up"


2. He's from Canada. Cardston, Alberta to be exact. (Randomly it is the only town in Canada I've ever been to - if my sources are correct Kevin is the blond kid on the back row - 3rd from the right)


3. He owns this AMAZING bug company in Dallas. Pretty sure he'll be the next boss on that show Donald Trump does (I've never been good with pop culture - at least I know who donald trump is!)


4. He's a tree hugger. (And his favorite winter sport his hockey. He's good. Real good.)


5. He plays with children who have no legs :) (yeah yeah, I know this kid really DOES have legs, but it's funny, so go with it)

6. There's a chance he MIGHT be good at "Trump THIS Succor!"


7. He wears stretchy pants while standing next to freaky army dudes


8. He has a long tongue (not quite sure why that's good . . . maybe Jaime can tell us)


9. This is what he looked like when he kissed Jaime for the first time. Who wouldn't want to kiss that?

10. He likes macs.


11 A. He likes to dress up. (A definite requirement for a member of the "Brethren of the Sisterhood") B - he likes Harry Potter (a bonus!)


12. He's so spiritual! Check out how he's praying so he won't die!


13. He's good with surprises. He crammed himself up in this box and surprised Jaime for her birthday. (And Jaime had NO idea the proposal was coming . . . partly because I'm such a good secret keeper)


14. (Fourteen because Valentine's day is on the 14th - it totally makes sense.) He LOVES Jaime. A lot. And guess what? He makes her happy! Real happy.

Hooray for LOVE! Kevin, welcome to the Brethren of the Sisterhood.
