We are loving the weekly emails we get from Johnny. He is the coolest person I know. I'm so proud of how well he is doing in his mission. He is always positive and upbeat, and he writes exactly likes he talks so we know that he is happy, that he is himself, and that he is thriving!!! Here is a special little something he sent us last week. This is why I love this boy.
"Thanks Scott i didnt think i got your email at first cus it was hiding on another page. but thanks for the advice, i will put that into practice. now a little story for just the Hannays...
so i was studying at my desk, which is just right of the WIndow and there was a bee who kept banging his head into the closed window. i just sat and watched, i felt bad for the little guy. then he came over made a loop around my face and went back and hit the window.. he did this again twice. came over circled and tried again hitting his face on the closed window. i thought maybe he is asking me to open the window, so he can leave. i followed him after the 4th time of circling my face. opend the window he moved back out of the way and when the window was open he exited.
there you go. it was a pleasant encounter, a very polite bee.
haha take it easy you two, and keep me updated on your adventures.
love ya,
Anziano Petersen"
I guess he just knew that we're the kind of creeps who would really appreciate that story!
Scott and I love spending time with my family on Sundays. The boys keep getting funnier and funnier! Ben spilled something downstairs and Andrew yells up the stairs, "Mom, can you manage to throw me a towel?" Kirsten asked if he wanted a paper towel and he hollered, "No, a string towel!" I thought that was funny, and pretty clever!
A few weeks ago my cousin Kyle married the cutest girl, Allison. We had so much fun celebrating with them, and we really love them together. Scott and I are so excited for all the upcoming adventures with this awesome couple. Kyle and I have had a blast becoming such good friends while living next door to each other at BYU. We hung out all the time, whether we were studying or using our back yard as a driving range. We skied together in the winter and spent a week and a half hanging out in Northern California the week before I was leaving on my mission. 
Ever since we were one or two months into marriage, Scott has called me Lindsey Lobster. I don't know why. I've never really heard him make this kind of nickname up for anyone before. I don't really like lobster. I don't think I look much like a lobster. Anyway, I like the nickname. I really do like being Lindsey Lobster. I just wish I could come up with an equally creepy nickname for Scotty. Nothing really does the job. Scotty Squid? Scotty Seaweed? Scotty Squirrel? Hopefully I'll get this in order before our one year mark in a few months. By the way, I googled lobster pictures. people are dressing their babies as lobsters. They're dressing their dogs as lobsters. Maybe this is what I should consider for Halloween this year. 
You'll enjoy this post so much more if you don't scroll down until you've read everything. 
23 YEARS LATER! Hidden in a secret picture folder that contains those photos Scott and I have determined to be too embarrassing to submit to the eyes of our friends and family. But I was wrong. This isn't embarrassing! This is fantastic! Lynne, I always thought it particularly strange that Scott chose this particular pose when the camera approached, but now I see that it is just a natural response for him. I plan to document this pose throughout the years, as I'm sure it will visit often.
