For everyone else's benefit, Katie's grandma is infamous for trying to drop "subtle" hints on her grand daughters. The U.S. used subtly when we used the A-bomb on Japan to try to tell them we wanted to end the war. Grandma Ranck uses similar tactics.For years, Grandma has been telling Heather & Kristi that the BEST way (aka, the only way) to find a husband is to move to Utah, attend BYU, and most importantly, work at The Creamery. The Creamery is the key she says, people just go there and get married almost instantly. It's become a running joke in the family. Dez even made up a story that involves her husband and how she met him while he was moping the floors at the Creamery and crying out "More Leche, more Leche!!!" (He's Cuban, so the story had to involve spanish and manual labor). If you know Dez and Archie, you know why thats so funny.
And the best part, Grandma Ranck tells them, they have to do it before "Their windows close". According to her, Heathers is closing rapidly whilst Kristi's is slammed shut. So in reaction to that family joke, Katie took the following picture while at the Creamery:

Katie is keeping her hand in there for you Heather, so your window won't shut. You better get a move on it.

This is hilarious. I must meet Gma for myself! :) I never ever want to move to Provo, let a lone go to BYU or work at the Creamery... but that would provide for a good story, right?!
Isn't that every woman's dream? Next they get proposed to at "the spot" on campus where everyone proposes and then have 8 kids? How funny! We changed our blog address to castillonfam.blogspot.com
Ha ha ha!! I don't know anyone in that post, but it sure was fun to read about... too bad I never went to BYU and worked at the creamery, instead I chose one of the "other" schools and married a pyscho College Republican..... well, you know the story ;)
Thanks, Katie for taking one for the team. I don't know if I'm qualified to work there. All I have is my History Degree, Paralegal Certificate, and four years on the job training. Maybe I could get in on the sympathy ticket if they knew my window was closing. After all, charity is the greatest of all gifts.
AND ANOTHER THING...
Heather- it wouldn't let me publish it for some reason, so I had to do it anonymously
Grandmas are the best. Here was mine as I'd leave for class during college:
Her: Holly Ann! You get right back in here and curl your hair!
Me: Grandma, my hair is straight...
Her: I know it and until you start curling those ends no co-ed at the BYU is going to ask you out on a date!
Yes, she calls it THE BYU. Too funny.
Your grandma is . . . hilarious. I'll never forget Des's bridal shower.
Tagg, I heard that you moved to Utah! You live in my cousins ward. Kristen and Kevin Rich, do you know them? Its a small world after all. Its a small world after all, its a small world after all, its a small world after all, its a small, small world.
You guys are crazy awesome!!! I miss you guys!
