Dreams do come true! I got to see Bill Cosby! I love that man. He came to BYU-Idaho and my sister-in-law let me in on it way back in... I don't remember but it was a while ago. I was online 2 hours before tickets went on sale and I got amazing seats.
Chad and I dropped kids off at different houses and made a very quick trip up to Rexburg. We had dinner with Harris, Shayna and Laura and then went to the show. We sat down (in the 3rd row) and I started acting a little too excited. Security had a good eye on me for a few minutes. Grown women jumping up and down like that are not to be trusted. I honestly had butterflies when he finally walked on stage.
He's a little older but still funny. I wouldn't say he was as good as some of his younger years but he is by far the funniest 72 year old I've ever met. Well, actually I didn't get to meet him. But he did responed to me. I yelled "Amen." He pointed in my general direction and said, "That's right!" It was a moment. I had a moment with Bill Cosby. Go with me on that and don't burst my bubble. Hehe, just kidding but it was awesome.
I've been thinking about my obsession with Bill. And I think I figured out why I love him so. I am a honest person. I tell it like it is. But I have no tack or comedian skills. I think a lot of times people misunderstand my honesty as sadness or unhappiness with life or kids. That is not the case, I just don't sugar coat things. It's my personailty. Then I realized, Bill is honest, but he's funny so it's ok. It lets us know that the so called hard parts of raising a family and living life are funny. I think that's a gift of the spirit. So next time you hear me... complaining or something; just take it as I'm trying to be funny, I just happen to suck at it. And give  me the benefit of the doubt. OBKB? P.S. When we dropped off David at my brothers house he said about his cousin Lilli, "I'll share with Lillian... actually." He loves saying actually and I think it is a really great word for a almost 3 year old. Makes me laugh every time.

I can't believe you got to see bill cosby! I saw an advertisement for it on the BYUI website but I thought that it just had to be wrong because why would Bill Cosby really come to BYUI?? That's so awesome. I'm super duper jealous. PS. I think your funny
