nothing beats playin bingo with the old folks

(i don't know why, but i look cross-eyed in this picture)

so, we might have to admit our ward is growing on us. despite that half the ward is either in a wheel chair, or over the age of 65
(promise i loved your comment allie, because we have the same kind of ward)
we still look forward to church every sunday.

brad planned a bingo night with a bbq for our ward over the weekend.
i'll be honest, we were buck nervous of how it would turn out,
but it was an awesome outcome!
and i truly think it was because of bingo...
.
i did win once. very proud moment for me.

she got so into calling
out the numbers.
she was so cute and perfect for the job.
(she's one of the senior missionaries for our ward.
and don't worry-we have 6 missionary couples as of right now.)




the 2 ultimate winners of the blackout. there prizes were gift cards.
i'm tellin ya, when your college students, nothing is better.

i loved it,
and next time i'll let
everyone in on the bingo night if we ever plan one again.

Haha that sounds so fun. I am obsessed with bingo. Oh and um if you guys are ever really bored. Try bingo for real. They are all still old people. And you just may end up winning 1000 bucks, angering all the said old people.

I love that the picture of the whole group looks like it is taken at a retirement center. Sad we missed out on a fun evening, let's plan another one soon!
