Simply Because I Never Want to Forget It

While General Conference was pretty awesome this weekend, one of my favorite things we did was call all of John’s siblings to announce our big news (We were at my parent’s house for the weekend, so we could tell my siblings in person). My favorite phone call was to his sisters.

We called Amy, who is in Utah right now and found out that Kirsten, who lives in Idaho, had come down with her boyfriend to see Amy and so that they could go to a Conference session in Salt Lake together on Sunday. When we called, Amy and Kirsten were walking back to Amy’s place. Our call went a little something like this:

John: Oh, so Kirsten is there with you?
Amy: Yeah, she’s on the phone with Lacey right now
John: Well, can you tell her to hang up with Lacey so we can talk to both of you?
Amy: OH! Oh yes! KIRSTEN! GET OFF THE PHONE! RIGHT NOW!
(In the background) Kirsten: Hey Lacey, I have to call you back. Yeah. I don’t know why…I’ll call you back…
Amy: OKAY! You’re on speaker! Okay, what did you want to tell us?!
John: We….won the lottery!
Amy: NO! That’s NOT it.
John: (laughing) We’re expecting!
Amy & Kirsten: !!!!!!!!!!!!! (unintelligible screaming and squealing)

*the excitement lasted at least a full minute before we were able to understand what they were saying* ;)

Amy & Kirsten: OH! When are you due?! AH! This is so exciting! We are SO going to be there. Yeah but you probably don’t want the WHOLE family in the birthing room. We’re gonna be Aunts! Ah!!!!

I guess you kind of had to be there, but we thought it was hilarious that Amy picked up right away what we were calling about and then of course they had (in my opinion) one of the best reactions to the news.

So thanks ladies, you’re the best sisters-in-law I could ask for ;)
