Wedding Pics

Here are some pictures of the wedding (Brent and Tammy's) in Malibu and the reception that followed. Although you probably won't know any of the people in them, there are a few with Christin and me.

Things That Go Boom, Crash, Bang In The Night

Two nights ago Christin and I were startled awake at two in the morning by some freakish noise. Here is what happened in Christin's words.

Nate and I were just rudely wakened by a most thunderous calamity! Laying in bed, with heart pounding in anticipation of unspeakable horrors, I slowly began to realize..."this must be because of a cat!" Fear gripped me as I quickly jumped up to see what was causing this noise as it echoed through the apartment, back and forth. A shadow (very noisily) raced by me at breakneck speed, into the office. Simultaneously, in the living room, there was a crash into the blinds. The shadow ran by me yet again, this time quietly...into the bedroom, under the bed to "safety."

I was quickly able to determine what happened and could not stop laughing for minutes! Pixie had somehow gotten her head caught in the loop of the Outback bag that was in the kitchen. Trying to escape her attacker, she ran from the kitchen, into our bedroom, back through the living room, into the office (where I thought she lost the bag) weeeeeeeeeeeeeee (that is Pixie's typing, literally - HAHA), and back into the bedroom. By this time Nate was up too and helped me search out the rogue bag. We found it between his desk and chair, pinned down by a book that had fallen on it. This caused the bag to rip, releasing Pixie from its prison, EXCEPT she still had most of the side of the bag and loop around her neck as she cowered for dear life under the bed.

I haven't laughed that hard in quite some time. I almost peed my pants after I realized what was going on. It is criminal that we were not able to see the whole thing play out - I fortunately got a glimpse of "the shadow" racing by me with the bag around her neck. The crashing into the blinds was one of the other cats freaking out as Pixie tore by, which of course, only made me laugh harder. As I write this email, Pixie has braved the world again and doesn't seem any worse for the wear. I am going back to bed now, but I had to share this with you while it was still fresh in my mind!

My Goodness!

My goodness! It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here. I cannot tell you how busy I've been. Of course, there is work every week, same old routine which takes a lot of time but the main thing has been school that has been taking up most of my time. We started and finished our first six weeks of KOV's (Kinesiology Overview). This covered the muscles in the back, abdomen, head, neck, and rump. That was our Thursday night classes (theory). On Tuesday nights (hands-on) we learned how to work these muslces. Yes, it's true! There's nothing like gloving up to work on the internal muscles of the mouth or working on the muscles two inches from someone's bunghole! Great fun!! : )

We then had our tests on these things and in theory class I got a B (which kind of bummed me out but it was 210 really hard questions!). On the hands-on test I got a 100% though. So, since I passed those I got to continue on with the school program. We jumped back into the swing of things last week with learning KOV #7, which consists of a couple more muscles on the shoulder and chest.

So, that's school. I'm loving it still and enjoy learning all this funky stuff. Oh, we have another class on Thursday nights which is Neuromuscular Physiology. Wild!

I haven't been on any trips or anything...or have I? Yes, I have! We went to California for my brother-in-law's wedding on the beach in Malibu. That was rad! We went to Magic Mountain and rode the scary roller coasters. That was crazy crap! What are people thinking when they build these things?! But it was lots of fun and we were there with about 15 people. Friends from our WoW guild that live in CA.

I had my birthday. I'm 34 now. Weird.

Allana came and visited for a week and we had a really good time. She's still growing up! What the crap?! I hope to be in Boise for my cousin's wedding around the first part of August. It'll be just a weekend trip though. Hope I can see some people during that time.

Well, back to work I go. Peace!
