Well Then....

Okay so we will start off by saying that we will post more. The last couple of weeks have been real eventful. We were given the chance to spend other peoples money. How nice is that?! We started off the day by going to a media store and were given 50 dollars each to spend how we wanted. We spent 75 on five videos and a game and put the other 25 on a gift card. Can't complain about that one bit. A few hours later we went downtown to a local skate shop and once again given 50 buck each. We had a custom skate board built for us that only cost us 70 cents of our own money. Again, can't complain about that. That night we all met up at Veterans park and we were treated to a BBQ that was catered by Goodwood BBQ. Free toys and free pulled pork! Now no one could complain. It was a very nice day and all together Stacy's company put just over 110,000 dollars into the local economy. So that was pretty nice too.

As I said we built a custom skate board. Well now we are teaching ourselves how to do a little bit of boarding. Stacy has fallen twice but nothing to bad that she wanted to stop. Alan has been lucky to not have fallen yet. So I would say that we are doing rather well all in all. We can ride around rather well and can stop and turn without difficulty. Some of the time we get a little shaky if there is a bunch of stuff on the ground or over larger cracks in the sidewalk but not doing to bad. We are starting to learn how to do and ollie but we are starting in the grass til we are able to get it down to where we can just do it and then we will move onto the cement.

We are planning on going and floating the Boise River in a week or two down the road. We are planning on getting some good big tubes and just going to go have some fun on the river one day so we can enjoy the cool water and the great outdoors and the nice warm sunshine all in one. We will try to have pictures so that everyone can see the beautiful river and area so that everyone wants to come and visit and play on the river with us. We are also planning on going shooting again in the near future. Alan needs to sight in his new rifle scope and try out all the upgrades that he has made to his rifle.

Stacy has applied to Boise State and is waiting to get her transcript from SUU so she can get accepted and see what kind of classes she needs and wants to take. She is going to decide what degree and what field of study she is going to go into soon as well. She is hoping that she will start in the spring of 2010. It would be a very short and easy commute to school because we live only five minutes form campous.

Well that is about all that we can think of to write and update on for now. We will have more pictures and videos coming up in the future about our different adventures and interests.

  2. Wow! I enjoyed your update! I've got to check the blogs more often. Have fun tubing--I look forward to doing that sometime when we come up. I'm excited to see what classes you get in school. I'm thrilled things are working out so well. Much love to you both.

  3. The skateboard adventures sound awesome, and I'm glad Stacy wasn't maimed in the process. :)
