Oh, hey.
It's Black History month, and we couldn't be more thrilled. We love Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and the rest of the greats. We will still talk of them and think of them often, but we'd like to spice up this month long holiday by celebrating some current black culture. So today, we bring you:
DeAndre Cortez Way. Better known as Soulja Boy Tell 'Em.
Did you know he's writing a book? We did. Teenage Millionaire. According to our sources it's coming out July 28, 2010. Happy Birthday, Joyce. We hope it's something we can camp out for.
Thank you, DeAndre. For the music. For the style. For the heart. But mostly, for the clever answering machine message we hear when we call your number from Kiss Me Through The Phone.
In closing, here is Soulja Boy's most recent Facebook status update:

Did yall enjoy the Grammy Awards Hopefully I'll win one, one day in my life
We think you will. We know you will. Even if you can't use proper punctuation.
In other news, Ally went snowshoeing with her mom and sister. It was actually easier to take the snow shoes off and walk, so that's what we did. There were pictures, but putting the camera card in her computer resulted in an unexpected trip to the Geek Squad at Best Buy. They sorted everything out, but it will be a while before she works up the courage to try again.
We received a tip from Avery, and joined the 20th ward for a party at Classic Skating on Friday. That's really a place we can be the best versions of ourselves. The fourteen year old DJ seemed to read our hearts, finding the perfect balance between Kesha, Michael Jackson, and The Gap Band. We tried to get tagged in some pictures, but the 20th ward isn't as camera happy as ours is. Oh well.
On Saturday we had an ecclesiastical endorsement party. We've found that people here at BYU like to add the word "party" to the end of lots of things, and we're okay with that. Our ward decided to slash it with a basketball tailgating party. Ecclesiastical endorsement/tailgating party. Yes! Some highlights of this event included:
-agreeing to follow the Honor Code forever.
-Lisa making a sign that says "Go Lisa!" A girl very genuinely asked her, "Oh, which Lisa?!" Bless her heart.
-Looking over in a corner to notice a few young men drawing fake six packs on their stomachs with Crayola Washable Markers
On Sunday, we drove to Salt Sleezy to hear Elder Wagstaff address the congregation. See you in two, man. Later that day, after the rest of church, we went to the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. It was nuts. There was singing, chanting, a lesson from the Bhagavagita, more singing and chanting, some dancing, and then they put these red dots on our foreheads. I guess you could call us devotees if you wanted to. But don't.
