BIG DAY FOR MEGAN AND SPENCER!

Published May 21st, 2006 by bryan

Sources announce today that the previously scheduled event that would bring Megan Hughes into the waters of baptism in Utah has been postponed. Officials are saying that there was some geographical boundary dispute which led to changing the whole previously planned event.

Hughes, a Mesa girl, who reached her eighth year while the rest of the nation was eating Easter dinner, is said to be taking the news in stride. Inside sources say that her parents distracted her from her heartache by planning a pool birthday party, her first ever, and by piercing holes and precious metal straight into her ears. For the party, friends will gather from all over the city in well-wishing and gift-giving for the watery bash, or should we say splash? Hoping to inspire total jealousy and admiration, Hughes will be sporting her new 14Karat studs, after having her ears pierced Tuesday. This ear piercing tradition, or primitive intiation ceremony, has been allegedly observed for generations when a young female reaches the age of accountability as Hughes was reported to have reached last Sunday. The hazing lasts six weeks with constant washing, and watching for infection, under the supervision of medical (parental) personnel. At the conclusion of the hazing, if Hughes has endured, the studs can be replaced with any number of ear ornamentations.

If that weren’t enough of a distraction, Hughes will be bought off with more bribery as her mother takes her to shop for a new white dress, one worthy of making her the center of attention on the “big day” and buys her a personal set of sacred canonical documents with her name engraved in gold on the front. (This reporter wishes some of that precious metal would come her way).

Hoping to clench the deal with distracting Hughes away from her sorrow, dignitaries from all over the Western United States will be invited to attend the event- now planned for Saturday June 10th in Arizona near the Hughes’ home. The Family spokesperson gave no comment, but told reporters that they intend to collide another event with this previously planned baptism.

Sources say that Megan’s brother Spencer, 4 years her senior, will be turning twelve on May 31st, and therefore ready to undertake ordaination to a deacon. Hoping to make the most of the visiting VIP’s time, officials plan to do the ordination the same day as the baptism. The events will be followed by a large and fabulous meal for all in attendance. The family will provide a car to meet dignitaries at the airport, directions if they prefer their own wheels, food and lodging for all able to attend. The Family spokesperson requests that visiting dignitaries RSVP by pressing the “comments” button below to indicate their plans. If you would like further information or have any questions about the two above listed events, please call 1-800-2-BIG-DAY.

Steve, Annie, the kids, and our family met at Disneyland just before Easter. I wish we would have got a group photo together.

The next time we are planning to go is the second or third week of October. It would be fun if more people came too.

Ben also mentioned wanting to come to Arizona for Thanksgiving, then going to Disneyland right before or right after Thanksgiving so that is a possibility too.

It could be fun.

THANK YOU BRY!!!!

So, I finally did it. I am officially a graduate from BYU. See http://www.jenny-ology.blogspot.com for all the gory details. (Comments are my favorite!)

Mom and Dad, Val, Rich and Malaya all made it from our family. Darin’s Dad and my friend Tamara were also there.

Two bachelors

This is us, just a couple of bachelors. Well, okay, Val and I are the first college degrees in the family- of our generation. Can’t wait to support the rest of you with yours, or with your millions without an official degree.
It was totally worth it, and I would never change it.

Maybe I should start on my masters…

Darin prays it isn’t true…..
