Flashback Friday - Easter 2005

So I decided that every Friday I'll do a little "flashback" and write about past experiences, funny stories, etc. It would be a fun way for people to get to know me better, plus it's always fun to remember funny stories and experiences. This first flashback is from Easter 2005. A little background information: Juniors at BYU, Garrett and I were living in the Provo house, Mike was living in the studio in the back, and Emma and John were newly engaged. We decided that we would all have Easter dinner together, and Emma and I would do all the side dishes (rolls, salad, deviled eggs, dessert, etc) and we asked Mike to get the ham. I told him that I would cook it and everything, but we just wanted him to get it. So, Sunday rolls around and I ask Mike for the ham because I need to put it in the oven. At this point I had been looking forward to yummy brown-sugary, syrupy ham all week, so I was very impatient for Mike to bring it upstairs. So, I remember I was laying on the couch waiting for Mike, and finally he comes upstairs, opens the back door, and tosses the ham to me. And it's LUNCH MEAT. Okay, it's not thinly sliced lunch meat, but it was a little 2-3 lb. chunk of Hormel ham, the boneless kind you slice for sandwiches. I was SO sad... luckily, I was able to slice it up, concoct a brown sugar syrup to pour on top, and heated it up in the oven. It wasn't exactly the kind of ham I was envisioning, but it actually ended up being just perfect. The End.

I hope you like Flashback Friday. Next week's story is about Mike too... it's also pretty funny.
