April

It is snowing in April....Need I have to say more?

Viv's Birthday

Happy Pre Birthday to Viv. We celebrated it on Sunday and had a special Sunday birthday dinner! All month long I have been secretly working on a breast cancer quilt for her. It is made out of mostly breast cancer fabric. I was really afraid she wouldn't like it because she really does not like pink. But o well she got the wrong cancer for that. So I gave it to her and she really liked it. She could not believe that I did it all on my own (I secretly know how to sew a little). I am just glad she liked it and now she has a feel good blanket to wrap up in on her bad days. Happy Birthday Viv!

What is he thinking

At my work we have a pond and every year a bunch of geese flock to it. And every year we always have one that lays her eggs either in or next to the parking garage. This year a goose laid her eggs on the outside of the parking garage next to the road. Every day her man is either standing or sitting in the middle of the road. So when a car tries to drive by, the goose who is trying to protect his women goes after the cars. He will run up to moving cars snapping his mouth at the car tiers. It does not matter how big the car is. This all happens right outside of my window at work. One day everybody in my department stood at the window and watched this goose atack every car that went by. We all had a great laugh until our Bose came out of her office giving us the worst look :(

3 Days of wrestling

It is that time a year again. The time of year that I do not see my husband for 3 days. Why? It is the NCAA Wrestling Championships. Now don't get 2 excited.
This year I decided that I wanted to go watch the wrestling. I did not go to all 3days I just went to one night. Ben thought it was so cool that I went with him. One of the main reason why I went is because I wanted to get a picture of the guy that we will be naming our first born son after. I never got close enough to meet him.

Ben is already planning on going to next years Championships in Nebraska.
I would list every weight class with the winners but I am worried about copyright issues and plus I don't think you guys really care.

Ben's aunt Eileen passed away due to cancer. The suffering is finally over. We all knew it was coming but it is still hard when it happens. She will surely be missed. Eileen was such a wonderful person, she always opened her house up to us when we visited Utah. Her family is in our prayers.

Sandy's first play date

Sandy had her first (kind of) play date with a dog named Marley. This is a big step for Sandy. Sandy does not like other dogs, she thinks she is a human (I can't say this to loud but she really is a d o g). She does not know how to interact with other dogs. I think the play date went well. Ben introduced the dogs Cesar Millan style (calm assertive). They worked on building a pack while on a walk. By the time the walk was over Sandy was walking right next to Marley. You may not think that is such a big deal but if you really knew my dog, it is a big step in making her more sociable. It is still a work in progress. My goal is for Sandy and Marley to be able to play together without Sandy trying to eat him.

Snowy Weekend

We went to southern Missouri this weekend. A friend of ours was having a mid life crises so he decided to wrestle in a open tournament and Ben was coaching him. The day of the tournament we woke up to snow. We must of had 2 inches by the time we left the hotel. It had stopped snowing and started to melt by the time the tournament was over. So we decided to go to the Bass Pro Shop, the very first one ever built. This place was ginormous and packed with people. You walk into a 2 story entrance filled completely with dear heads. This is not the place someone wants to go into that doesn't like hunting.
On our way home we got caught on the highway in a horrible snow storm. We sat and sat in the car with no where to go. The longer we sat on the roads the worse they got. After sitting still for hours we decided maybe we should get a hotel room and stay the night. We called Every hotel in the nearest town and Every hotel was completely booked. The next town after that was 23 miles away so, we started to call those hotels and finally we were able to get 2 rooms. By the time we got to our hotel we had only driven 80 miles and it took us 8 hours. When we woke up and started home the next day, we saw car after car in the ditch.
It was actually a fun weekend. And our friend did a awesome job at wrestling.
