Statistics say that if you can keep a pet alive for year that you will be successful in marriage, but then again it is a statistic so it's not saying much! ;) Either way we decided to put this to the test, placing bets (not real ones) on how long we could keep a fish alive. Welcome to Nauvoo apartments Tomi Greane!
Day 1: The day we brought Tomi home!
The night we brought home Tomi Greane is truly a miraculous miracle in it of itself, and I hope is not foreshadowing the first day of my marriage! Brittany rented a car per say, and crammed 6 people in a 5 passenger car, luckily we are all very fit and skinny, we snuggled up nice and close :) Heading to Walmart was going normal, just a bunch of college kids singing at the top of their lungs and dancing in the car. We arrived at our destination and the excitement began to build that we couldn't help ourselves that we ran inside, probably because it was freezing outside but we'll just say it was from the excitement and anticipation we all felt. We found the home of the fishies, and there swimming so cutely in a small little fish tank was our boy, Tomi Greane! Oh he was so cute! (I wonder if this is how people talk when they bring children into the world?) But we couldn't get him out! We looked everywhere for someone to help us, then finally someone did and I think he thought we were nuts, but we didn't care! We bought all the necessities that we needed and headed for the register, careful not to shake the bag like Darla from Finding Nemo because obviously that kills them. The guy at the register said that this was the 40th fish he had sold that day! Isn't that crazy! So we carried our special cargo to the car, got in and the car wouldn't start! Luckily we had a priesthood holder with us who knew how to jumpstart a car, and so we found another very nice young man, because there seems to be a lot of them around, who came and helped us. (I hope this also is not foreshadowing of my first day as a married woman, but if it was at least I would know how to jumpstart the car) We eventually got it to work, and went to Kiwi Loco to celebrate the new member of our family (girls will make any excuse to get ice cream so we did!). Don't worry we didn't leave Tomi Greane out in the car, that would just be irresponsible! After a refreshing bowl of ice cream we headed back so we could introduce Tomi to his new home, and all I have to say is that at first he was trying to kill himself! He would get stuck in between the marbles and couldn't get out......luckily tho he finally figured out it wasn't so bad and has been quite content since!
Day2: Tomi Greane is still alive
Day3: Tomi Greane is still very alive!
Bets on How Long Tomi will Live:
Mandy: 6 months
Brittany: whole semester
Adell: To Midterms
Quinci: 6 weeks
Cameron: 4 weeks
Jen: 2 weeks
Cassie: 3 days
