Crazy Coloradans

Ok, I really don't think Coloradans is a word but that is ok. As some of you may or may not know I have started delivering newspapers. Nice huh! haha, there was a girl from my ward who had done it and we were at a play group and she was telling us all about it. You make about $800 - $1000 a month...the only downfall is that it is at 2:30 in the morning! haha But it only takes me about 2 1/2 hours to do it, so not to shabby. There is another gal from the ward who decided to do it too so it has been a fun/interesting adventure! (I am sure it will lead to many more interesting posts) Anyway, on to my story.

I was driving to work the other morning and I was stopped at a stop light and I look over at the car next to me and there was this LARGE black man sitting in a big nice orange colored hummer and he is waving and smiling at me, so I wave back and turn back to watch the light. Then I hear a honk and the man is rolling his window down. At this point I am thinking maybe something is wrong with my car, so I roll my window down. He yells over to me, "Hey! I am so and so (I don't remember his name, it was to early in the morning to remember much of anything. We will name him Joe) and I played for the Denver Bronco's for two years, now I play for Kansas City." Oh ok, and he feels the need to tell me this why? So I reply, "cool, go Bronco's." Joe then goes on, "what's your phone number?" haha, this guy is crazy!!! I just rolled out of bed and threw some clothes on, no make-up, hair is a rats nest and he is asking me for my number?! Either he is drunk and desperate or I must be a lot better looking than I think I am! haha so I just replied that, "Sorry, I am HAPPILY married." Joe says again, "come on what is your number?" To which I replied, "I am VERY happily married with a kid." Joe then says, "ya ya so I am." At this point I am just disgusted and I just said, "I am NOT giving you my number!" He then gives me a glare and ran through the red light.

What a bunch of crazy Coloradans! This and the crazy foot man?! I am not going to lie though it did make me feel pretty good. :) I then went to work and told a few fellow co-workers. One I work with asked me if I was going to tell Jeff (her husband is VERY jealous and she definitely wouldn't have told him) of course I was going to tell Jeff! I just told her, "heck yes I am, he is just going to say I still have game!" When I got home and Jeff woke up I told him my story and that is exactly what he said! haha I love Jeff!

SO, with this crazy job it has made me so grateful for all the blessings in my life. Do I NEED this job, not necessarily. It is nice to stock up our savings just in case we don't get our house rented out again. But, I am so grateful for a wonderful husband who provides for me and our family, who is driven to succeed, and who isn't a scumbag who asks for s numbers! Honestly I think this job may be not only to pad our savings account a little more, but for me to remember how blessed we really are and how grateful I am for the gospel in my life and for the good people it lets me associate with where ever we are!!!
