Way over Due
Hey Everyone!
Lots of things have been going on lately in the Russell household. Sean had manager meetings Monday thru Thursday and it is so nice to finally have him home. I have started a new job at an accounting firm, so that is different because now I have a 8-5 job opposed to working till 9 at night. Here are some other things that we have been doing.
In church, I was called at the beginning of the year to be the Activity Day Leader. It has been a blast working with these young girls and seeing all of there different personalities. It reminds me a lot of Sierra (Girl I nannied)because she was that age and being so dramatic. We have been able to do some fun activites so far like heart attacking the Bishop's Office and doing Pedigree Charts for Pedicures. Here are some cute pictures from their pedicures.
Also, one of Sean's favorite missionary just got transfered to Lubbock and so we had them over one last time. Two of them took pictures of themselves and with us and framed them, so on our living room table we have pictures of missionaries. It's kind of weird, but its not like we have kids with their pictures so this will do. Elder Makin is one funny guy and I am sure Sean and him will be buddies for a long long time. Let's just say this, in January we fed them 5 times. Anyway here are some pictures of us with Elder Makin!
Lastly, this morning our Relief Society had a sewing group that was making aprons. We did not get to finish, but it is always fun to go because we love to talk. That is what it is for anyway right? I will have to post a picture of the complete apron when it is finished, but in the meantime here are some pictures of us ladies. I have noticed that the only people that come to these activites are the same group of women. These are the women who play volleyball twice a month, and who go to the movies together. They are lots of fun and I am really going to miss this ward when we leave. (Not saying that we are) HA!!

Stupid People
**By the way this is Sean writing this. "A" I don't want Sarah to claim this masterpiece of a blog, and "B" I NEVER write on this thing and therefore want to clear up any confusion.**
First off, I have a problem with stupid people. My brothers and I strongly believe that there should be a population control on people with a high level of stupidity in their genes. And second, I have a problem with shoplifters. Unfortunately they usually go hand-in-hand and this is what I had to deal with this last week.
Case #1: The rich and the infamous
We had a young lady come into the store the other day and she decided that it was one of those lets try to see if I can get away with stealing today type of days. So she went straight for the Ed Hardy table, which for those who don't know have quite an expensive taste to them. So she grabbed two of them and decided that she wanted to see if our "sensor" system was working. So she took a little trot to the front of the store and began to "look" at the shoes in the gateway. Well as soon as she realized that our security system did indeed work she all of the sudden had the sudden urge to try on every shirt in the store. At this moment Sarah was clearly on the same page as she was to her loss. When she exited the dressing room none of them miraculously did not fit, BUT guess what was missing??? You got it, the two Ed Hardy shirts totalling a whopping $194 were all of the sudden missing with two sensors sitting on the ground of the dressing room. After Sarah called her out on the missing product the cops were called and she was arrested. She also was found with a prescription drug that was clearly not her name. You know it always interests me on how stupid people are. First off she came in at the SLOWEST part of the day when all we had to do for the rest of the evening was watch her!!! Smart.
Case #2 I swear I don't live here!!!
This one takes the cake. So this customer comes in and decides to exchange something that did not work for her. Well she wants to try one some jeans so I get her about 8 pairs of jeans to get started as she did not really know what she wanted. Suspiciously she was in the fitting for around 30 minutes and I started to question her motives. I went to ask her if I could take any of the jeans out of there that did not work. When she handed me about 5 pairs I realized that in two of the pairs had a total of 3 sensors left in them. So I am sure that they magically appeared in there. So after she got out of the dressing room I called her over to the counter and asked her where my product was. Go figure she played dumb. I asked her to empty her purse onto the counter so she decided to show me the littlest section of her entire purse and swear that it was nowhere to be found. Then she claimed that she did not even live in Clovis. She was now from Houston. She then ran to dressing room to ditch the "missing" jeans. After I followed her and confronted her again this time spotting the jeans in her purse, she threw the jeans onto the floor and ran for the front door of the mall. I ran after her and grabbed her purse to stop her from leaving as I knew that she still had my product on her. After struggling with her for about 10 minutes I dragged her to my backroom where we waited until the cops showed up. When they finally showed up they emptied the purse to find another shirt, meth, and marijuana on her!!!! Plus, like I thought, she was wearing a pair of our jeans underneath her own!!!! And guess where she was from. Clovis!! Stupid!!! It later came to 2 felonies and a misdemeanor. WOW!
Moral of the story: Don't be stupid....please...
