Can I hear a WOOT WOOT!!!

That's right we have a BIG day to celebrate! Dane accomplished something HUGE today...he hit

1000 HOURS!!!

Hooray!!! Congrats Dane!!

Winner, Winner!!

Last weekend I was able to go to Vegas to see Dane and when I got there on Friday afternoon, he surprised me with a little romantic dinner at Panevino, it was so nice!! We got a table right next to the window and could see the sunset and had a nice view of the strip when the lights were on. The food was absolutely delicious! We even spoiled ourselves and ordered Creme Brulee for dessert and it was so good!




The next day we went to Transformers 2 and it was good, I had heard a lot of bad things about it so then when I saw it, I thought it wasn't as bad as everyone said. After that we headed over to Mike & Becky's for a surprise party. We ate lots of delicious food and played Rock Band, it was a really fun time. Later that night we decided to play some Bingo, cause let's be honest, it had been awhile since we last played. Then during game two Dane taps me and says I'm one number away from winning and then O-61 was called and he was the BIG WINNER!!! He yelled Bingo and they announced 'possible winner' then the lady came over to verify it and sure enough it was valid so he won $100!! HOORAY!! We love bingo!

Check out this pure beauty...

You know those dumb injuries that we all get but are so annoying? Granted I think I get a few more then the average person; paper cuts, bruises from running into things, stubbed toes (the number of times I have done that has easily doubled since living with Lindsay and her make-shift gate for her stairs) tonight I had a doosie! I was closing the bi-fold closet door in my room and I pinched my finger and now I have this beauty:

That's right a massive ugly blood blister!! Of course it’s on my pointer finger on my right hand so I have to be careful so it won’t pop! What an ugly yet ridiculous wound, there's not even a good story behind it!!

The Holding Pattern Continues...(hee hee pun intended)

For those of you who know Dane and I are kind of in limbo about our future plans, there is a possibility of moving to Vegas, Miami or even as bad as it is, another furlough. Last night Dane had a meeting and it was decided for the next two months Miami would be part of all the pilots schedule so Dane will be working one week in Vegas, two weeks in Miami and have one week off. That's how it stands as of now. Hopefully we will have another update in August!

Shooting...

Dane and I decided to go shooting with his friend Rob while I was in Vegas on Saturday. Note, for those of you who don't know me that well, the only time I have held a real gun was when I was in Alaska and our fishing guide needed both hands to fix my line so he handed me the shotgun. I held it as far away from me as possible and he couldn't be done fixing my line fast enough. Since meeting Dane, he has wanted to buy a gun but I have been pretty persistant in saying no, mostly because we don't own a house or have a safe to put it in but this weekend he successfully talked me into going shooting for the first time ever. Rob was a really good teacher and didn't push me too much, just let me shoot what I wanted (which wasn't a lot but it was a first step for me). It turns out the one I liked to shoot the most was the first one he had me try and of course it was one he got when he was a kid so I doubt Dane and I will ever find one like it to buy. The one Dane liked to shoot the best (I bet you can't guess :) ) but it was one you have to lay on your stomach to shoot! It was MASSIVE! I would tell you the names of the guns in the pictures but I have no idea what they are :)

Ahh...Bear Lake!

This weekend I was able to go to Bear Lake and the last time I was there was in 2007! I missed a whole summer! Anyway, I left Salt Lake on Friday and the rain was coming down like crazy but then I get to the lake and the sun is out and it is beautiful! Couldn't have planned that any better :) When I pulled out of Logan Canyon to the street that goes around the lake, I got super excited because they have now added a four way stop! For those who have never come that way, you have no idea how long you would have to wait to turn left during those busy summer weekends. I turn left to start heading around the lake when I see on my right....a Cafe Sabor! That's right, the little restaurant in Logan has opened another location in Bear Lake! I will have to take my family next time we are there. I get to the cabin and start walking around to check out all the new things I have missed and this year we added a new front deck, it looks so good!! Below is a wonderful pic so everyone can see...




Also, my main project this week was to work on a quilt. I have really wanted to learn how to quilt but I have been afraid of it but I decided to start with an easy pattern and see how it goes. This weekend, I finished the whole top! Now I just need to add the borders! I will show a picture of the finished project because it might take me awhile to finish it. (just a little sneak-peak though...it is all Halloween! So cute!!)

Also, this weekend was Aiden's blessing, Bones did such a good job with the blessing and it was really nice to see Dane's family again (too bad Dane had to work). We went to the park after for some food and the rain held off just long enough for us to eat. Everything turned out perfectly! Thanks McCall and Bones!
