The BIG 3-0!

Two of my ridiculously good looking friends turned THIRTY this week...

Tuesday night we celebrated Brother Mark Schiefelbine over the hill! We started out with a little dinner at PF Changs and then cruised over to the Villa de Hazy for a "killer" game (no pun intended) of Mafia. Some of my favorite memories ever include Mark and Mafia. He is hands down the best Moderator ever! If you've never played Mafia with this kid before you are seriously missing out. Happy Birthday Marky Mark!

Friday night we celebrated Roselyn into the 30 and up club with some grub at Sonny's in San Clemente. I love me some Margherita Pizza. After dinner we wrapped things up with a little Rock Band at Monti, Craig, and "Sweet Peas" place. I usually just take the lead on vocals but tonight I finally learned to play the guitar and rocked the Bass (on easy...I'm learning). Happy Birthday to you Miss Ashton. I'm so "hot for teacher." Thanks for letting us get our Rock on with you!

Catch of the Day

Monday night while the rest of the ward was enjoying Family Home Evening at the Bishop's house, Brother Eric Persson, whom we'll refer to as Brother P., was out at sea reeling in his catch of the day, a 300 lb. thresher shark! That's huge!

All alone on his fishing boat, he said it took him over 2 hours of fighting to reel it in...and Brother P. is a big 6'7" man. He said that once he reeled it in, the shark was too heavy for him to lift so he had to drag it along side the boat back to shore.

Once back in the harbor, Brother P. required the help of 3 other guys just to transfer the massive shark into the bed of his truck. For more awesome pictures, click HERE.

In celebration of the catch, a few of us daring ward members gathered for a little BBQ Tuesday night to enjoy a feast of thresher shark tacos. Mmm, tasty! Thanks for sharing your catch of the day Brother P.

Bottoms up baby!

Of course the night wouldn't have been complete if we didn't end the night with a little Rock Band. Thank you Bunker for your mad skills on the guitar and mic!
