A compilation of many random things.

This is a random post of some things that I have yet to post. Enjoy!

Thing 1: Stillwater. 

On October 11th we went to the city of Stillwater with some friends. Stillwater is right across the river from Wisconsin. It was a beautiful little place that reminded me of Park city or Jackson Hole. It had a cute little main street with cute little shops. There is also a walkway along the waterfront. We also drove around for quite a while and looked at all the great old houses near the downtown. It was nice to get out with some friends.

This "Salamander" came driving by. It was awesome!

Thing 2: Callings

I realized that I have never blogged about our callings in our ward. Justin is the 1st counselor in the Young Mens Presidency and I work in the Nursery.  I was a little unsure of it at first but I am in there with Natalie and Annie (see above pic) and so we have a lot of fun in there.  Justin is enjoying going to mutual again and working with the scouts.

Thing 3: The Dodgers

My wonderful husband has been a fan of the LA Dodgers for quite some time and was thrilled that they made it to the playoffs.  After a sweep over the hyped up Chicago cubs we were even more excited to see them beat the phillies and finally make it to the world series! Unfortunately the Phillies beat them 3-1 and my poor hubby's world series dreams were ended. Sorry babe, there's always next year. "It's gonna be their year!"

Thing 4: Here comes the Bride!

My baby sister Julie is getting married.  And for those of you that don't know her, it was gonna take a lot to impress this girl.  In a way only Julie could get engaged her wonderful boyfriend who is a Marine stationed in California bought her a plane ticket to go visit him.  Then he took her for romantic walk on the beach to propose. I hear from her the next day when she called from (of course) Disneyland to break the news.  Caleb, you did a good job and you got yourself a great girl.  She is my only sister (by blood) and I love her dearly. I can't wait to see her as a bride. I have never seen her so happy.  I love you Julie and I am excited to finally meet Caleb at Christmas!

Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack

So tonight we went to our 3rd Twins game. I know you are getting sick of these Twins posts. I don't have much to comment on since they choked against the Royals with a final score of 8-1. The highlight of the game was when a fan ran across the field and got slammed by security. At least last night was awesome.

Take me Out with the Crowd

Last night, Sept 25th, the Twins played a huge game against the White Sox(boo). It started off good with a run in the bottom of the 1st, but it all fell apart when a couple errors by the twins allowed 6 runs by the sox in the top of the 4th. It was pretty tragic but we never gave up hope and run by run, inning by inning we slowly tied it up and went into extra innings. The twins were awesome and in the 10th inning we won 7-6. Going into the game the sox led us in the division by half a game. Now we are number one in our division. It was so insane at the Metrodome. Justin and I both came home hoarse and with little of our voices left. It was a great experience to share the love with over 40,000 people. It was one of the most fun sporting events we have ever been to. We love our Twins, and I think I am starting to develop a crush on number 22, Carlos Gomez.




I know, he is cute right?

Take me out to the ball game!

On Wed Sept 10th Justin and I went to our first Minnesota Twins game. The played the KC Royals and won 7-1. We had great seats, ate some 1 dollar hot dogs, and enjoyed cheering for our new home team. This was the first game of many more to come, in fact we already have tickets for another game! GO TWINS!

Road Trip

The Second Week of April, 2008 we took a road trip with our friends Danny and Jamie Hansen. We stayed our first night in St. George and then headed out in the morning to Las Vegas. We spent the day in Vegas seeing the sights. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory that night, it was our very first time there. The next day we spent part of the morning in vegas, and then headed out for California. That night we went to an Anaheim Angels game. We spent the whole next day at Knotts Berry Farm, that was an exhausting but super fun day. We spent the next morning in Cali, and of course we had to eat at in and out burger for lunch. We drove back to vegas, did some outlet shopping, and then drove through to St George to stay the night again. The next morning we did a little hiking in St. George and then began the trip back to Logan. It was a such a fun trip and we had a great time getting away with Danny and Jamie.
