The Brooksby Family: September 2011

Ok, it has been a while since I started this blog and I'm a little disappointed in myself because I told myself that I would try to write a ton for this blog but life happens. On top of work, school, and adjusting to married life its been a tad bit busy. But let me update you on whats been happening!

1. Brett and I went shopping on Saturday and got a wonderful, marvelous, and did I mention BEAUTIFUL KitchenAid Mixer! Life has been good! Brett cant stop laughing because of how much I hovered over this baby.

2. Brett and I have been trying very hard to be cooperative to our neighbors upstairs. I'm sure almost everyone and their dog knows about this story but pretty much our neighbors upstairs thinks Brett and I are too loud. With the constant knocking and ringing our doorbell relentlessly we talked with our Manager about the whole thing. She said she'll take care of it and apologized. (Did I mention that these people knock on our door during the day, not even in the evening at quiet hours) Anyways, a couple of days past and they still knock on our door every single hour of the day! So, we finally told our wonderful neighbors if they knock on our door again, we are calling the police on them. They finally stopped knocking! Hallelujah! But now they moved on banging on the floor above. Brett and I just chose to ignore it. Taking on the attitude that this is our life now and we'll have to live with obnoxious people above us.
Now Sunday, Brett and I were watching "Finding Nemo" at about 8 pm at night. When once again our neighbors started banging on the ceiling above us. OVER FINDING NEMO!!!! Anyways, Brett and I didnt' even acknowledge all their hard-work they were doing above us when we get a knock on the door. I answered the door and its the police! Yes people. Our great Elder's Quorum President had called the police on us about Finding Nemo....
We let them in and the police started to explain that they got a call about some loud sound coming from our apartment. (The movie is still going by the way). I told the officer well this is the level we have been watching our movie at. Then the police started to laugh and said that was ridiculous because that is a STANDARD VOLUME! Thank you Mister Policeman! One of the officers took another call chuckling about the whole situation. Long story short, the police officer ended up talking to our neighbors upstairs to tell them that this wasn't a problem. We watched the police leave and seriously 2 seconds after they left they started to hit our ceiling all over again. ( I guess they didn't get the message).
Anyways...

3. I'm in a Baking class this semester and I love it so far! Today I get to make French Bread and I pray that it works out! Last week I made Unleavened Bread... yea, I'm excited to eat something actually good. haha.

4. Brett and I went bowling for family night last week and it was so fun! I won the first game! It was
AWESOME! Especially because Brett was getting all cocky on me. I got three strikes in a row! (That does not happen) haha. I got a 104 and the next game Brett won by a long shot with 130 or something. :) Good job, Hunny!

5. Brett and I went to our friend Kelsey's mission call announcement party. Kelsey lived with me when I was doing my internship for Walt Disney World in Florida. So, she watched and listened to all what was happening between Brett and I. She was very supportive and gave great advice when dating long distance got too hard. Anyways, Kelsey is going to serve in the Ogden, UT mission. Spanish Speaking. She leaves February 8th! Congratulations Kelsey!!!
