Just hangin around!

Chrissy and I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful day....... so we brought out our hammocks and set them up in the only grove of trees in Minot. Had ourselves a nice nap and now were off to enjoy the town!

Huray for Laura!

Laura graduated from ALS today! She invited me to hang out with her supervisors and eat chicken marsala. ( i forgot my U.S. insignia, so i had to duck out before anybody caught me.)

I might be uncovering an addiction........

So Al and I needed to fill some time after Institute last night, and he had his golf clubs with him. So......... We bought some golf balls at walmart, and then went behind walmart and hit them into a field. The weather started to act up ( as you can see by the ominous clouds in the background.) Seconds after i drove my last ball, i hear Al exclaim " Ow! is it hailing?" so we bolted to his car and headed off to see king fu panda with our friends from institute. (sorry about the blurry picture. Al's a golfer not a photographer:)

Girls love a man with a farmer tan!

Chrissy and I went swimming today! It was fun, the water was kind of dirty and the kids were rowdy, but hay, it's a pool. they get a little leeway. So I went back to my roots as a swim instructor and helped Chrissy with her breathing technique. Then we rode down the slid, caught up on our tans, and headed to get some buffalo wings. Was a decent day.

The Back Nine.

Chrissy and Christopher set off after work to accomplish 9 holes of golf. (I've Golfed more in the last 4 weeks than my entire life.) I didn't have any amazing holes this time though, or amazing outfits for that matter. We had a good time though. We played Dak-Rat Polo, and did golf cart donuts.

My little Twinkle Muffin!

So Chrissy and I decided to have a nostalgic trip back to childhood with a midday snack of Oreo cookies and milk. MMMMM. mmmmm. Then she displayed her lady like demeanor by fumigating my dorm room with offensive hints of what she had for lunch. Then she wrestled for control of the keyboard becuase she saw what I was typing. But, I overcame, and am now publicly stating that girls do in fact fart. Sorry Danderson. You've got to be wrong eventually. Ciao!

So Al-mond joy calls me and says "what are you doing in five minutes?" i replied"whatever your about to tell me i'm doing" so five minutes later Al-len wrench shows up in my parking lot and starts putting rock band stuff on top of his car. so this is a picture of us rocking out on Al-bertaco's Datson.

Bye Bye Chantae- Tae!

Last weekend I got together with all my favorite girls. The occasion? Chantae (2nd from left) is going to Washington d.c. to be a flight attendant for the vice president! cool huh? we had fun dancing and laughing. good times.

Who wants to teach a 90 minute lesson on The Atonement? OOH OOH Pick me!

What do you get when you combine 7 flashlights, 2 bow ties, 1 pair of atrocious glasses, 1 teacher with a sense of humor, and another with the gift of gab? THE BEST INSTITUTE LESSON EVER! Al and i got to teach institute on Wednesday. it was pretty awesome. Al did teach the bulk of the lesson though. thanks Alcatraz.

FORE!

Alcatraz and i went golfing on an actual golf course last friday. Dawning the appropriate "garb" we hit the back nine. I "triple bogey'ed" on every hole except two. (your only allowed 3 strokes over par on every hole. this is called a triple bogey. not good.) the one hole in this picture is the only whole i par'ed up on. I had to hit it over a pond (in the back ground) then on to the green. then i sunk this beautiful 30 odd foot put. i was elated.
