USA!
side note: I taught the little Chinese girls in my preschool class that holding two fingers up means peace. So now they randomly walk around and yell PEACE! Also, the other day they had peas and carrots for lunch. My co-teacher was trying to tell them that they're called PEEAS, not peats or peads or whatever they were calling them. As evidence that I am an awesome teacher, my little Chinese diva says, "I KNOW! THEY'RE PEACE!" and flashes the peace sign. AWESOME.
And now resuming with relevant information...here's my incredibly strong husband supporting the world
My turn
Alright, now the serious business...I competed against about 40 other women over 3 days. Every day I scored about the middle of the pack, steadily moving upwards to about 17th place. Sooo, nothing to write home about but it was still a good time. The women I competed against have been shooting for years and years and years so for me to beat even one person is a pretty good accomplishment. One of the top competitors was about my age but has been shooting for 8. YEARS. No way is my 4 months going to compare to that. But whatevs.
I survived my first major competition. HOORAY!
Check out that support structure. It's solid.
Yeah we are a couple of 7 year olds...but who doesn't love a good fort? Complete with snacks and movies and our favorite puppies? No one I tell you, no one.
So the story of Petey is a little comical...I went running a couple weeks ago and out of the corner of my eye I saw something run away from me. Totally stoked that it was a little dog, I stopped to look and it was a bunny! A little floppy ear bunny in the middle of the parking lot! So I kept running and thought to myself, if it's still there when I get back I'll totally try to catch it. Then about 10 seconds later I thought, naaaahhh I'm going to go catch it right now. I then spent the next 10 minutes chasing it around the parking lot yelling "HERE BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY!" and luring it out from under a car with a weed. Oh and the parking lot was next to a fairly busy street so just imagine driving by and seeing some crazy lady chase after a bunny. Quite comical, let me tell you.
Now Petey lives in our backyard, where he is becoming increasingly harder to catch. He's a fast little bugger. But cute!
Next is Molly! She's a border collie Australian sheperd mix. We picked up this little snot at the Cedar City Walmart. She was being modeled Simba/Mufasa on Pride Rock style and I couldn't resist! After I convinced Josh that we needed her, he decided that she was going to be his dog. Which works out great for me because his dog pees in the house all the time, while mine is completely housebroken :)
Mia and Molly have a love/hate relationship. The play all the time and then Mia jumps up on the couch (where Molly can't reach yet) and just hangs out right out of her reach. Or Mia will jump over the baby gate that keeps Molly in the kitchen and just stares at her through the gate. But they love eachother and we love our zoo! Especially Josh :)
Ahhh! Fireworks are scary! At least that's what we're assuming the people next to us thought when they left halfway through.
Next we have the over-the-couch artwork. I painted a bunch of random picture frames green to match our rug and hung them with some wedding pictures (just the frames, I took out all pictures and glass, I think it looks cool without having to have a buttload of pictures on the wall)
Now if you look to your left, you'll see our freshly painted dining room. The walls were originally the same color as the living room, but I love the blue, especially with the grey accent wall. *this room has yet to be decorated*
Another shot. Anyone recognize that chandelier? :)
If we keep walking we'll take a looksee at our kitchen. Notice the dishwasher sticking out from behind the fridge. Yeah...apparently the hose gets kinked when it's pushed back and doesn't drain. It's aweseome.
