Thats hot. And that all I'm going to say!

Play that Funky Music White Boy!

Not to disagree but sometimes this blog is a bit of a joke. I like to post things sometimes strictly for laughs. Refer to post regarding Samuel's "type".
A friend sent me this hilarious video of Samuel dancing at another friends birthday celebration. Samuel is so funny and makes everyone laugh (for real). He has always been a terrible tease and so this is me getting a bit of revenge (*insert evil laugh). Play that Funky Music White Boy!! and shake what your mama gave you!

Dear turtar,

I am Samuel's oldest sister, Charmaine, and perhaps his most loving, smart, and pretty one.  Seriously.  But you should know, and anyone else out there who wonders whether we are serious or not, we are completely serious about getting our brother married.  But not always serious about life in general.  He's amazing!  Our brother, that is.  But he is also the least serious of us.  And oddly enough, also the most serious - depending on the topic and situation.  

We, his sisters, have all started our families with wonderful husbands and children and want to add a fabulous sister-in-law to our Fuller family.  The guy's got 4 sisters and no brothers!  Poor kid is bound to get us stepping in at one point or another.  We know Samuel will make a simply splendid husband and father.  The problem is, our brother is such a fun and outgoing guy that sometimes, people, especially girls, don't take him seriously.  

Everything we have posted about him is 100% true.  He really has met the prophet.  My husband was there (he was cropped out of the picture).  It was just days before he entered the MTC in Provo, UT.  President Monson was getting his shoes shined in the Crossroads Mall and Samuel, my husband, and my father were shopping for some last minute things for Samuel's mission.  (Of course, it was the one shopping trip that us girls passed on!)  My dad asked President Monson is he had any words of wisdom for Samuel's mission.  President Monson then proceeded to give him advice for 30 or 45 minutes before they asked to get that picture.

He really is a good cook.  I'm the one who called him for the Beef Stroganoff recipe.  He really did give me serving tips in addition to the basic recipe.

He really is great with all his nieces and nephews.  My (almost) 4 year-old son idolizes Samuel.  You see, Samuel has kept every Lego he has ever had.  And that's a lot!  AND, get this, even though he is saving them specifically for his boys, he shared them with my son and nephew at Christmas time.  The boys were in heaven!  He also lets his nieces and nephews dress him up in silly costumes and entertains them for hours.  (Although I'm pretty sure the dressing up in silly costumes is more his idea.  He's just a kid at heart.  And don't worry, we've got plenty of documentation to show his future family!  {Insert evil laugh and a wink.})

But the bottom line here is this:  We know that the girl who snags our brother will be one lucky broad.  Samuel will treat her like a queen and take care of her and their children for eternity.  He will love her above everyone else.  I honestly believe she will never have to worry about his devotion to God.  She will never have to worry about his devotion to her.  She will never have to worry about his devotion to their family.  And she will never have to worry about his devotion to his faith and the gospel of Jesus Christ.  She will never want for a hard working husband.  And when she finally joins our family, she'll get to hear all of the other wonderful things that Samuel has brought to our family that are just too special and personal to share with the world.  When she joins our family, she will be welcomed by 4 sister-in-laws who are so excited for her and all that she will bring to our family.  But more importantly, we can't wait to see what she will bring to our brother's life.

So, turtar, thanks for your comment.  Because although our family is quite silly, we really are serious about getting our favorite brother married to a really marvelous girl!  And if you know any,  send her his way - or our way, we'll set it all up!

Sincerely,

Charmaine (Samuel's favorite oldest, smartest, prettiest, and most loving sister)

Dating Questionnaire

Samuel posted the following on his Facebook page:

We had this ward activity on Friday and a friend on the activities committee asked me to come up with some questions to filter through girls for a game show. So i came up with these questions. At the activity they ended up using someone else’s questions so i though i would post these online. Answer these questions and if i like your response i will ask you out on a date... if you don’t want to answer them (if you’re married) forward them on to your girlfriends... I love you!

In reality T Hatch and Lelan made me do this… but I still love you!


Let’s get Physical

1) Would you say you are more like: Jasmin, just looking for “a whole new world”; or Bell, just looking for “a Tale as old as time” and why?

2) If you had your choice would you rather kick a ball around with David Beckham or shoot some hoops with Steve Nash and why?

3) Kids, 2 or 11 and why?

Life as I see it, or how I wish I saw it….

4) If your ideal life were a movie would it be; Nacho Libre “would you like some chips” or Napoleon Dynamite “get your own freakin tots” and why?

4) If your ideal life were a theme park would it be: Six flags, one crazy ride after another; or Lego Land one brick at a time and why?

6) If your ideal life were in techno color would it be Conservatively Red or Liberally Blue and why?

7) It your ideal life were a book would it be “Oh, the Places we’ll Go, think of the fun we can have” or “Where the Wild Things Are, willing to go into the unknown” and why?

Perfect is in the details

8) If the perfect toy is: Bubbles, I have a bubble or Play doh, hand on is more my style.

9) Perfection comes walking to your door in the form or a man: is he the beast, a man’s man but a hopeless romantic at heart or Prince Eric, Hollywood good looks and looking for adventure around ever corner and why?

10) Your idea of a perfect date would be: An outdoor concert at Tempe Town Lake or casual moonlit walk at Tempe Town Lake and why?

11) The perfect anniversary gift would be: a personalized poem or a diamond necklace and why?

12) Its time to find perfection; Is it found in a loft in New York City or an isolated cabin in the mountains and why?

Treasure Hunting

"Girls are like a treasure chest. It's what's on the inside that counts...but a good chest helps"

-Samuel

Gives great back rubs.

One of the nerdy kind of love things our family does is back and foot rubs. Sometimes we will line up in what my mom calls a "monkey like" and rub each others backs. In the photo I think it was during General Conference, and it looks likes we have 3 generations here!

When we were kids my Mom and Dad would often rub our feet or back. Now my Dad rubs our feet and asked us to rub our moms feet.

Samuel has gotten lots of experience rubbing feet and backs and he has given lots of foot and back rubs. If his foot is near me he wiggles it over to my or hand or lap until I rub it. After I give him a foot rub I do the same to him and receive a nice foot rub. His wife will be so lucky!

Jenny and I are both Certified Massage Therapists now. Samuel asked me once, "How do you give a good back rub?"

I am sure he asked, no doubt, to impress a lady.

I used the word rub and foot like 10 times in this post!
