After not visiting Aaron's home town - Rye, CO - for over a month, this past weekend we decided to head up there (it being mothers day and all as well). Friday night we got there and hung out with Jeri. Saturday we took advantage of the nice weather and went to a place in the mountains called San Carlos (Im pretty sure haha) and shot some clay pidgeons...Aaron of course shot everyone I flung in the air...and although I usually wont shoot Aarons gun (because I remember it having a hard kick-back) he got me AND Jeri to shoot it. There is no way I can shoot a moving target yet haha, but he put a can on a rock pretty far away and I shot it...and the kick-back when you shoot the gun isnt as hard as I remember it so that was good. So after, Aaron and I went into Pueblo and went to the movies and shopped a little. Because we got wedding money from Dad and Mum, and good ol Rudd gave us $900, we decided to spend a little on ourselves - because we are using most of it for bills. I bought a brown/turqiouse/white skirt for $9!! Aaron got some cologne - smells SO GOOOOOODDD!!!! Then we went to the movies and saw the new X-Men, Wolverine movie which I thought was awesome. The rest of the afternoon, we had planned to go to the Lake back in Rye and fish just because it was such a nice day....but on the way home, Aaron got a call from his cousins saying they were going to attempt to climb the mountain in Rye to a HUGE rock that you can see from the highway. Sooooo Aaron decided to do that - and I was worried because it was 5pm....and it would take a lot longer to get there and back and they didnt know exactly how to get there...and there are bears and mountain lions and I guess Im just a worry wart. They didnt end up leaving until about...I think 6 or 7pm...so they only had about 1 hour of daylight left. Anyways - I went home and Jeri and I decided to go into Pueblo and go shopping some more. I bought a pair of shoes for $20...then walked out of the shop and felt bad. We went to another shop and I got Aaron a movie from the $5 rack, and some knee length kinda track-suit pants for $8....then because I felt so bad - I went back and took my shoes back for a refund haha. I told the lady "I'm an impulsive shopper, and I really shouldn't have spent this $20" - what a loser. Anyways...so we went home, and mum called for mothers day and I got to talk to Mum, Adam, April and Dad for a little while. It was annoying because the I lost reception about 3 times, so Mum had to keep calling back..woops. Aaron got home at about 10:30pm....they didnt make it to the rock, but I was just glad nothing crazy happened. Sunday, we went to church and we also went into Pueblo again to visit Steff and Cody and the kids - they are Aarons sister and brother in law. Played some Guitar Hero....Aaron is so annoying because no one can beat him...it bugs me so bad because I can be winning, and right towards the end he will beat me by so much - its so annoying. We decided to stay Sunday night and leave early in the morning back home...well...Monday morning we slept in a little and ended up leaving at about 8:30am...and went to get petrol before we left...and saw a Jeep being sold for parts. We decided to look at it because Aaron has a jeep that just needs a new transfer box or something to do with the transmission and then we will have 2 cars. Which is perfect because our car now is only a year 1/2 old, and it will be REALLY nice to have the jeep for Aaron to have it to go four-wheeling, and take it to the mountain to go shooting, and camping and fishing and just whatever. So the whole jeep for parts only cost $250, so we got the whole thing, his cousin Billy hauled it back to his place because he is going to help Aaron. So then by the time that all happened, there was no point in going back home and Aaron to work - so my wish came true and we stayed in Rye for another day. I cant even remember what we did all day - I think we watched Anacondas after we hung out at Billys for a while, and then had dinner at Max's Restaurant and hung out at aarons aunts place for a while...so it was fun. I love spending time in Rye with Aarons family - we were thinking we should move closer there so that I will have more to do during the weeks. Anyways - we'll see.
Jeri shooting for the first time in a long time
