July 24th

Yes, July 24th is a holiday here in Utah. Meaning I only worked till noon! I didn’t want to do much without my husband but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy myself. I decided to take advantage of the nice summer weather by swimming at our pool, listening to music and catching some rays!

When Chris came home we went over to have dinner with James and Fran. It was fun to see their video of their trip to Canada! They got Chris a belt and a pretty necklace for myself! Did we tell you that the week before James went to Latvia (for business as well). He gave the boys all pocket knifes and us girls some beautiful earrings!

When Aaron and Jaleese arrived the six of us all went bowling. The boys won and girls lost, so us girls became the slaves for the night So sad I know.

Draper Days and the Dark Knight

Hello everyone, today was an early day, Alana and I went to the Draper Days parade (which is more of an event to advertise, we decided).

It was fun, nonetheless. We ate a couple of pieces of taffy, and took every flier that came our way. My (Chris’) parents are out in Canada at the moment, traveling back to New York before they fly in tomorrow. Dad was away on business and mom decided to go with him, since he will be gone for quite some time this year with his travels.

After the Draper Parade we went to The Dark Night, and might I tell you that the movie was crazy, I mean to say that the movie caused me to be so emotionally involved, that I think that I may be a little messed up, in the HEAD! So if you see me anytime soon, and you ask me why I have a smile, I just might have to show you why!!! ha HA HA HA HA!……….

Alana and I then decided to go swimming and sit down at the pool to collect some sun, now moving onto Draper Days festivals. It is held at Draper Park which will be presenting a stream of fireworks later this evening. Alana and I really enjoy being around people, even if it includes being cooped up in a black box watching a movie. We will enjoy being around the crowd this evening at the park, the stars of Beatlemania will be playing! Alana is real excited to hear them play, she loves her music and we may just take a picture if we are lucky.

At the end of this post, I would like to add that I just gave myself a haircut, a #3 on the buzsaw…

Alana went to school learning to cut hair, and so when I cut it myself it may have not been the best decision. She definitaly does a way better job!

ReAL Salt Lake Game

I received a phone call yesterday at work from our good friend Natalie Devine. She was given 4 free VIP tickets to the ReAL game last night and wanted us to join her and her husband Spencer! I was all in before I had the chance to tell Chris! I had no idea there was so much action in soccer. They say that if the fighting continued they would of stopped the game! Who new! We were so excited and had so much fun, I am afraid we set a new expectation for us :s We felt so spoiled! We took the elevator to our own box shared with 4 others. We had all you can eat dinner and drinks. Ice cream was given for desert! I felt we had the best seats in the whole stadium, especially for the firework show after the game! Most beautiful fireworks I have seen yet!

All in all it was great fun and I can’t wait to do it again! Thanks for the invite Spencer and Natalie!

Day of Shopping

Today we did nothing but shop!

We went to the NPS store in Salt Lake, shopped at Fashion Place, Gateway, and Best Buy.
We had a great time, in the warm weather. Alana picked up a new pair of Versace sunglasses which make her look even HOTTER. I mean, she is hot, but it was fun for her to get her “fancy pancy” sunglasses.

Then Alana went to get her long hair chopped off and added some blond highlights! Talk about a surprise! It added a whole new look to her, I love the change. She’s my HOT wife, :)

The 4th of July

The fourth of July was a little interesting to say the least.

We saw Hancock, and it was not quite what we expected it to be. A little more on the “boring” side of things. I do not recommend it.

After the movie was when things spiced up a bit! We went back to Chris’ parents home to enjoy a great BBQ dinner with some long time friends. Then most everyone followed Chris’s footsteps and jumped in the pool! They had a great time swimming.

When our family friends parted ways Chris and I decided to buy fireworks! You know, to make a show of our own! After all, Chris did do his first Firework show in Herriman with his Uncle Tom last weekend! I was so proud to watch the show knowing that Chris was behind it all! I do have to admit that watching Chris and his siblings take charge of lighting the fireworks at home was great fun for me too! I just sat back and enjoyed the show with James and Fran. Right before we lite our fireworks we had watched some video of the kids when they were ever so young and James was lighting the fireworks. So it was fun to see the table change!
