It's Pronouced JAW not JAH.

Utahns (?) don't know how to pronounce Ws. They pronounce it with a H sound. For example, awesome = ahsome, awful = ahful, and my personal favorite aw = ah.(Ah is the sound you make when a doctor is shoving a popsicle stick down your throught, it is NOT the sound you make when something sweet just happened...just saying)So with that being said, let me tell you a funny story...

I work at Nexus Pain Care. I answer the phones, direct calls, schedule patients, and scan paperwork/billing. One day a man called in for his wife. He wanted to set her up an appointment. I had gotten all the information I needed, all except for where his wife's pain was located. This how the conversation went:

Kaitlin: "Where is your wife's pain located?"
Man: "In her jah."
Kaitlin: "In her what?"
Man: "In her jah."
Kaitlin: "Ok, I'm sorry your phone is breaking up I can't hear you." (I could so hear him, I just had no idea what he was saying!)
Man: "IN HER JAH!"
Kaitlin: "Her jah? Is that in her back? neck?"
Man: "No, in her mouth her JAH!"
Kaitlin: "Ohhh her Jaw. Ok!"
Man: "Her what?"
Kaitlin: "Her JaW"
Man: "Now I don't understand what you're saying!"
Kaitlin: (uuuggghhh...fine!)"Her jah. Let me go ask the doctor!"

Kaitlin: "Dr.R, do we treat jaW pain?"
Dr. R: "what pain?"
Kaitlin: "JAW pain?"
Dr. R: "I don't know what that is."
Kaitlin: "JaW, a part of you mouth!"
Dr.R: "Ohh jaHHH, yeah we treat that!"

I have then since been made fun of on a daily basis. Personally, they're just jealous they can't pronounce their Ws as well as people from the south. North Carolina, come on an' raise up!

"Err-Errbody Get Used To Greatness!"

Every Sunday we have Ward Prayer. During Ward Prayer an apartment introduces themselves, prepare a spiritual thought, and then we close the night with a prayer. On a Sunday in September Hampstead 4 was asked to introduce themselves. Ward Prayer will never be the same.

Amber:
I'll start I'm Amber, I'm dating my Mike Asay
And in a few weeks he'll be my fiance.

I decorated our apartment and they say,"Thank You!"

Marybeth:

It's all one word, it's all one breath.
All my homies are from Orem and I'm here to represent
I save lives at the hospital just call me Clark Kent.
As you can see from my stance I do Ballet.
But I turn in my Tu-Tu on Triathalon day.
***-***-***2
if you didn't get my digits shame on you.

Kaitlin:
What up yall it's ya girl Kaitlin J.
I got a smile that can brighten up anyone's day.
When I read books I like to wear my snuggie
But don't be alarmed when I teach you how to Dougie.
My home is in North Carolina,
And you best believe there aint no place fin-a
I hear the South is a pretty friendly place,
And you should be able to tell when you look up at this face!

Heather:

And the answer is Yes...I'ma be a great WIFE.

Yeah the great Northwest will get me in the zone.
I like Country Music but I dance HIP HOP
I could show y'all now, but this is where we stop...
