Here a little there a little

Okay so I realize that it has been a while without an update but hey I am trying okay? HAha well not so much is new but I will still let you guys in on some of the things we have been up to. So one night we called up our friends the schilhabel's and wanted to hang out. Michelle was my roomate one semester and is from Bakersfield but Kevin and her didn't know each other before but they have become our very good friends. We went to Rigby and decided to go bowling at their bowling alley. It was so cool when we got there everything was old school. They had over head projectors so that you could see your score and you had to keep it manually! My lovely Michelle Kept score for us and put on some tunes on the juke box and we had a blast. The guy that owns it says it is only open certain hours because its just his hobby but it was so cool and no one was there so it was fun! Michelle is always saying that she wants to have a prom there with all our married friends and so we think that would be a great place!

Next we heard about this big celebration in Driggs called Celebrate America and it was the week of the 4th so we decided to go to that with our friends the Schilhabel's again and of course we had an amazing time! WE drove through Tetonia and all those small towns and they are so pretty I posted some pictures of the Tetons and they were so pretty. I just miss the mountains in general so it was nice to see some green trees and mountains! They had the Beach Boys performing up until the fireworks and that was so fun we sang along with the songs that we knew. Before the fire works we went around to all the vendors....There was only like 8 and there were a ton of people so we had to stand in line quite a while but I am pretty sure we cut in line because the lines were seriously soooooooooooooo long i felt bad after but we got our food. I really wanted some chicken fingers and fries and right as we got up they were all gone so Kevin got a cowboy burger that was actaully pretty good. IT had two patties and ham I think or canadian bacon but whatever it was it was soo delicious and we ate it pretty fast. Then we wanted to get some kettle corn and the line for that was ridiculous but we stood in it for a while anyways. Then the cook told us that he was running out of propane and he didn't think that we would get any but we could continue to stand in line if we wanted to. We left and enjoyed the music and then the fireworks were about to start. They had Lee Greenwood who sings "God Bless the USA there live to sing along with the fireworks and they had a video that went along with it and it was so wonderful. The fireworks was probably the best firework show I have seen in a long time, i'd even say better than the Melalueca Freedom ones....sorry Steve and Jill. At the end everyone started to sing along....Patriotism pass it on! I LOVE AMERICA. in fact I wish I had some jean shorts with stars on one side and stripes on the other that I could wear every 4th of July. The ride home wasn't even bad we blasted some music and set home it was such a fun night!!

Next my job as well all know can be a boring one, there was one day I was not feeling good at all and was having a rough time getting to work, none the less I forgot my lunch. I called and asked Kevin if he could just make me a sandwhich real quick and bring it to me! He of course agreed but when he got here he had made me chicken with cheese and ham. Brought me some corn and then he also brought some left over oreo's we had and some popcorn for a snack later along with a chocolate bar!!! Yeah this kid takes such good care of me I love him so much. Next I got an e-mail saying that I had to take a random drug test at work which I don't mind cause I knew I would pass and it would let me out of work for a while because you have to drive to Idaho Falls to get it. So my manager came and took over the store while I was gone and sent me in the Syringa van hahaha it is a huge van as you can see! IT was interesting to drive that is for sure. The other picture is of my sunglasses just cause I like them!

Last but not least of all some of you know that Kevin coached competitive basketball this semester and had a blast with it. His games were on Friday nights and he would coach the boys who he picked to make it to his Varsity team. He had a friend coach the JV. Turns out that his team was pretty good I am not positive but I only remember them losing 2 games and they made it into the playoffs where they lost there second game and then were out but they did such a good job and I think Kevin really enjoyed it. After the season had come to an end they had a basketball banquet for all the players and coaches and then there dates so I got to go. It was really neat they had a little spiritual meeting and then had a dinner. I can not even begin to tell you how hungry I was and how good the food was. They has garlic mashed potatoes and then this was kind of different but they had either a cheesy broccoli sauce to out over it or a beef tip sauce. I chose the cheesy Broccoli and it was bomb! They had a salad to go along as well and at the end they had all different kinds of desserts! They were divine, kevin got a chocolate cake that was dang good and I got a cheesecake but instead of nasty cherry sauce on top it was rasberries and rasberry sauce! It was so divine I may or may not have had seconds on everything!! Anyways after the dinner they had an awards ceremony for awards for all the players. At the end Kevin got the coach of the league award! He was so suprised, he didn't know they did anything like that so it was really special for him. He definately deserved that award and I am so proud of him! Well that is about it, stay tuned next month and we should have some exciting news and we will be back from all our trips so i am sure lots of stories and lots of pictures to come!
