Well, sometimes I forget that we have this blog and I forget to update it. A lot has happened since we last wrote and I guess I should bring people up to date....well for those who care to read this anyway.
First off- I will be 32 on Oct. 31st wierd huh? yeah, 32 and still feeling not 31 yet. Actually I do feel my age once in a while and for some reason I am really excited to be 32. But I will write more about that after the end of the month. Minna I think is more excited for my birthday then I am..and I am pretty excited to say the least. Last week we got home from dinner and she asked me if I wanted to open a Birthday present. I said, my B-day isn't for another 13 Days....But HECK YEAH I DO! My lovely wife gave me three presents to open. I got the newest DVD season of Ghost Hunters and the live episodes they do every Halloween. I also got a new Xbox Game (Star Wars Force Unleashed) and I am enjoying the heck out of it.
We have started to watch the newest season of ghost hunters Minna got me. Actually I should say Minna got us, as I said before...WE LOVE WATCHING GHOST HUNTERS. I know crazy huh? We just do and no matter how many times we re-watch the old ones over and over, we still enjoy them. We hope to one day travel to Rhode Island to see where TAPS headquarters is and maybe get pictures..who knows. Anyway, I know crazy but we are simple people and like simple things.
Speaking of my to be birthday- We went to Las Vegas two weeks ago. We will have pictures up on here for everyone to see soon. It was way fun as always. We went to the Blue Man Group and we both really enjoyed it. They used so many drums I was in absolute awe taking it all in. They are funny and they are fun to watch. I recommend seeing that show if you get a chance. If you need tickets ask Minna to help because she somehow gets these awesome seats for good prices. We paid like $30 to$ 40 less then the actual tickets cost for the show. My wife she is amazing!
We played Bingo a bunch of times and didn't win, but we did get free beer glasses so now we have a full set thanks to another couple giving us theirs since they already had the full set at home. ha! We played on the slot machines, mainly penny machines and had a few good hits. We found a system that works for us at the Vanetian and also works with other Casino's. Any time you get free slot play, get the card and cash out every winning no matter what. We did this and got our money back that we lost...wich wasn't much, but it sure was great to have. We went to our standard places, Coke Factory, M&M Factory Rainforest Cafe and In & Out Burger. We really had fun and will put up the pictures soon.
Every Birthday month we will go somewhere fun and I choose Vegas although I usually choose Moab or somewhere like that. But it was a good vacation and we really had a lot of fun.
We went to dinner with some of my friends last friday to a place called the Zinn Bistro. It is really good food. It is off of 22nd E. and 33rd S. It's a little pricey but worth it. Also, last night we went to dinner with some other friends (we have a lot of you friends we love to be with) to a place called the Wing Coop or something like that. They serve wings and on Monday's you get wings at 50 cents a wing. It is really good, but get more then 5...it doesn't fill you up as much as you hope.
Anyway, there is more we have done, but I will let Minna fill in the blanks plus my spelling isn't great and I write too much. I will say one thing...if your wondering what I am doing on my birthday... don't call us that night we wont answer, we will be watching the live episode of Ghost Hunters till the crack of dawn.

Weekend of Bliss...
Ok first off let me tell everyone something...I KNOW MY SPELLING SUCKS! It's not that I don't know how to spell, I just sometimes don't go back and read everything to correct. It's what I call quick typing. Besides, you all know what I am saying so no big right? My wife pointed out in my last Blog that I mis-spelled a word a few times..so here is the correct spelling on that word- Restaurant. So there I spelled it right and I will make more of an effort to check my spelling.
This past weekend was Conference and it was perfectly relaxing. Everything the Prophet and Apostles said was great and always is. I enjoyed Preisthood session on Saturday night and was really taken back Elder Scott's message. His so called "PPI" was something I think every man should take to heart and be able to answer correctly on. I don't know why his talk stuck out so much that night, but it just did and that got me to thinking...am I a bad husband? The answer to that is no (in my mind) however Minna may say otherwise when I don't do things like take out the trash when she asks. ha! jk, but really his talk was something I hope will be a message the church will stress upon when we have a lesson from the ensign. I think it is of great importance to let our wives know how much we honor, love and support them.
Minna and I pretty much slept through parts of the afternoon Saturday session. It was later that night that I made a major mistake. After Preisthood my Grandpa decided to take us to Dinner at the IHOP where I enjoyed my favorite kind of Pancakes...Pumpkin! So friggn delicious! I made the mistake of ordering a coke. They only had Pepsi and I settled. Well, I forget that I am 31 going on 32 this month and the older I get the more affects caffine has on my body after 9pm. I was up all night from Saturday to Sunday morning. Which is fine because I decided instead of tossing and turning in bed trying to sleep I might as well play Xbox. It worked, after a while I found my self falling to sleep while playing online agianst someone else. I woke up to seeing my statistics having decreased majorly because I slept and he proceeded to beat the crap out of my guy on the game we where playing. Im sure he thinks he is amazing now. Anyway, I finally fell to sleep and woke up in time to catch the last 3 talks of the Sundy morning session.
We also threw a BBQ on Friday night with all of Minna's friends and husbands. We where so happy everyone was able to show up. I apologize still if the food wasn't as cooked as well as I hoped...but when you have a freaking GREASE FIRE starting in your BBQ Grill the best thing to do was evacuate all meat products off that thing ASAP. Anyway, it was a blast and thanks for everyone who came. I want to give a special thanks the people on my Team...WE RULE!
So a weekend of family, fun, much needed rest and solitude....I can't complain!
