Matt's Wedding/Nearly Dying in a Plane

well, last weekend matty got married! kyle and i flew down to san angelo to see it. now i don't like to fly. not at all. i understand that it's the fastest way to travel and i appreciate that it makes it possible to spend more time where your going. but man do i hate it! especially those little planes! i had a near death experiance on this last trip because of one of those planes. our pilot had been coming in to fast to land and the plane fishtailed and leaned over onto one side. people were screaming, men were crying, and the flight attendents nearly peed thier pants. it was truly terrifing. i mean i never actually thought i was going to die on a plane untill that landing. and we were on the ground! the whole flight was awful. full of turbulance and it was just aweful. ok moving on.

well the wedding was fantastic. dusty was absolutly gorgeous in her dress. and matt was looking very nice in his uniform. bishop bushman performed the ceremony and he said a lot of really wonderful things. explaining the symbolism of the wedding ceremony and i thought it was just really nice. during the ceremony both matt and dusty had tears in there eyes.

of course matt's wedding wouldn't be complete without the rock and roll band to walk down the isle to. yes that's right matt's friend james and his band played cannon in d on their electric guitars and drums. they had even made a wrote a special intro to the wedding march when dusty started down the isle. in all actuallity, it was really kinda cool. deffinetly matthew. he's lucky that dusty is cool enough to handle him. they got married at the lake in san angelo and it was just a beautiful day and a great sunset wedding.

the reception was a lot of fun. we had homemade root beer and it was catered by chick-fil-a. the cake was cute too. it was decorated with sunflowers and it was chocolate! unfortunatly for me i didn't get to eat a whole lot of food. the chicken nuggets had unfortunatly been sitting on top of the ice bag, so they were cold. i did eat some fruit and that was nice.

i don't have any pictures to put up yet because kyle took them on his camera and he had to catch a flight to his next trip right away so we weren't able to download any on my computer. i'll try and put some up though. or you can go to my parent's picture site (the Reunion link) and see pics from the wedding, the reception, the reharsal, and the "official" picture taking for the wedding.

Bob Evans

ok so tonight i went to bob evans to get some dinner. right away it was off to a bad start. i was there by mself and figured they would sit me at a small table. well they didn't. i was seated way in the back at a table for four. right across the isle of a table for two. no big it wasn't a problem. well then i sit and i wait. about 5 min later the asst. manager comes and takes my drink order. 10 min after that my waitress comes and instead of saying sorry for the wait she goes and does this : oh you poor dear, i'm so sorry for the wait, your in the back. i'm ***** and i'll be right with you.
now this girl was younger than i am. i know i'm sitting by myself, but i don't really consider myself a "poor dear." so a few min later she comes back and takes my order. now if you don't know, at bob evans they bring you bread while you wait for your meal. at least they are supposed too. my bread came with my meal 20 min later. and they were stale. the food was decent as always, but the service tonight was just aweful. i was completly ignored the entire time i was there. next time, i'll just get it to go.

4th of July

ok this 4th of july we had a neighborhood bbq. it was really a lot of fun! we set up in the front yard between our house and our nieghbors house. we had the grill out, music, tables, chairs. it was great. we even set up a canopy because it was drizzling a bit in the beginning. there were still fireworks though. they were provided by the neightbors on the next street. the only drawback was knowing that the next morning our neighbors on that side of the street would have to pick up the debris from their yards and off their roof. all in all though it was fun. and the food was so good! my neighbor carol brought this jello dessert that was fantastic! it was strawberry jello on top of a cream cheese sugar mix all on top of pretzles with strawberries on top of it all. it was fantastic.

Pictures from Minnesota

alright so kyle and i went to minnesota last week. it was really fun. here are some pictures that we took at split rock lighthouse (kyle's favorite lighthouse), gooseberry falls, the swedish american institute, and frankenmuth, michigan - little bavaria.

Treadmill

ok so the other day kyle and i bought a treadmill. we saw it in the store and decided that we watned it so we bought it and took it home and decided to set it up in one of the spare bedrooms upstairs. well when we got it home, the box was a lot bigger than we thought it would be and a lot more akward. there was no way we were going to manuver that thing up the stairs! so we decided to set it up downstairs then fold it in the upright position and then take it upstairs. getting it together took no time at all since kyle actually reads the instructions in the box. so we have it at the base of the stairs folded up and ready to take it up, except it's too wide and the railings are in the way. that's ok we said we needed to tighten them anyway, why don't we just take them down and put them back up later when we get the treadmill upstairs. so we did. take them down. all right so now the staircase is wide enough we start. we make it about 3 steps before i fall and drop the treadmill (unfortunalty kyle was at the bottom so he had to save it). no worries i'm ok. finally i tell kyle this isn't going to work i can't lift it up all these stairs. so now it is in our front living room. this is probably the best place for it anyway because now when i watch tv i'll probably feel guilty enough that i'll get up and use it instead of just sitting on the couch.

me and kyle at our wedding reception. i can't believe that it's been over 5 years!!
