The other Half and stuff

So its been A while and I can't really remember all the things I did while I was home but it was a GREAT time and I managed to see all ten of my siblings(you guys) in a meager 10 tens.

It was no easy task! 2 plane rides, 4 states and many hours of driving not to mention about an half hour walking in my blues! All so very worth it.

My next big adventure starts in Mirmar CA, where medicle has managed to lose my record. You know what that means? All my immunizations has to be updated. About 13 different needle pricks in about 4 hours! Not to mention the small pox which is STILL healing and hurting on my arm.

From there we flew to Bangor Maine, home of the great Stephen King, for about an hour. It was about 8 30 local time but there was still about a hundred old people there to greet us. It was awesome.

From there we flew to Shannon Ireland which was very overcast. My favorite part here were the warning labels on Cigarrettes. Everything from "Smoking Kills" to "Smoking can cause a slow and painful death"

Anyway got to run so I will keep you updated

VACATION!!!

So I feel just awefull!

Here I am always telling people they need to update their blogs and I haven't in quite some time. I shall "repent" and try to do better!

So vacation started out at Kate and Mikes'. This involed, of course, several late night chats for nastalgia's sake. We also went swimming twice, caught a hilarous movie, went to a sweet yard sale, went to a sweet bookstore, played in a HUGE kid toy and played a few late night games. As a side note guillotine is quite the fun game. It's going with us to Iraq for sure! Loved spending time with Kate and Mike and seeing their little critters. Korben is quite the chatterbox and Logan has such a cute little grin. Oh yeah and I helped build a swingset in Kates Backyard. COUNT IT!

From there Jim and yours truly drove and ten hour trip in about 14 hours. Don't really know how that happened but whatever. It was a great time. Some good conversations ensued as well as a great amount of giggles from Landon. That little boy always has a big 'ol grin on his face.

From there we ended up in Twin Falls/Jerome at Josh's. It was fun as always to hang out with Josh and his fam. Matt is a rather energetic little guy. I decided to go to work with Josh just to see what he does. I remembered how little I like the smell of Cows and Iodine but Josh and I sure had some good chats.

We also went to lunch at sizzlers with about half the fam. Josh, Cami, Jim, Jake and I were all present. Spouses included. Except mine...I mean I don't have one...Whatever!

From there Jared came and picked me up from twin and took me back to my old haunt Pocatello. Jared lives in the Ghetto! Not even joking I feared for my life. I got to see a couple of old friends while he was at work and was pretty much just lazy.

Anyway so that is just the first part of my vacation. I am actually at Kimbers as I am typing but I will tell that part later.

So far it has been great and I expect the next couple of days to follow suit.

Oh yeah and for the few of you who haven't seen it yet I got a new tattoo. It says
"KEEP WALKING" across my should blades. Yes it hurt a little, yes it cost probably to much, and YES I really like it. And thats all I have to say about that. If you want to know what it means to me just ask and I will tell.

Sorry I wasn't as entertaining this post around but oh well you all will bounce back for sure!!!
