Another weekend at home :)

Friday I got a call from Aarons cousin Julie. Her and her family were all at the Sand Dunes not far from here for the day - so she invited me up to hang out for a bit. Its so weird because in the middle of the mountains are these huge sand dunes...go figure?! Anyways...its really pretty out there, so after the gym, I took a shower and headed out there. After having lunch with everyone and hanging out for a bit - I drove back home.

Jeri met Aaron at his work and they came home. Its the first time that Jeri has been to our house since we have been married. We had dinner, and decided to head into Alamosa again because they had seen tonns of tents and stuff set up in the Alamosa Park on their way home. It was "Summerfest" - so they basically had a fair type thing set up in the park. There was a mechanical bull and Aaron decided he wanted a go - he had never done it before and got a bit nervous because there were tonns of people around watching, but he worked up the nerve and did it anyways. He stayed on for way longer then he thought he would - and really did awesome for someone who had never been on before!! He let himself kind of fall off in the end because he said he was getting sick from spinning around and around...echiohasdfpoih - I just get sick at the thought of it haha.

Oh - they also had fairy floss there and so Aaron bought me some..mmmm - Im pretty sure they had every flavour under the sun there - so I ended up getting Bubble Gum flavour - it was SO AWESOME...Im pretty sure I ate the whole huge bag of it within 4 minutes. Saturday we had a ward activity and it was a fishing day at a place called Lake Meadows up at Wolf Creek Pass. It was really pretty, but such a windy day and so it was freezing. We made our way around the lake to try and get out of the wind...and so we didnt end up seeing anyone from the ward - but I guess they all found eachother and fished some place out. BUT the best thing is that I caught 2 rainbow trout and Aaron caught 1. We were going to keep my second one - we even strung him through the gills with fishing line attached to a branch that we put in the middle of some rocks on shore and had him sitting in the water - we thought he was dead - but he fooled us because we turned around 10 mins later and he swam off really quick...so we were ticked about that. Oh well - I guess we really didnt feel like gutting it and all the rest of it. Just sucks because now the poor fish is going to swim around and die soon because he is swimming around with line through his gills and a branch attached to it.

Im wearing Aarons snowboarding jacket - haha it still has a tag on it from when he went last - IT WAS COLD ok

The first fish I caught...the second that we were going to keep was bigger

While we were at the lake, Aaron was messaging back and forth with his Cousin Kyle. He lives about 3 hours away and was trying to move. So Jeri, Aaron and I decided to go and help him because he had a tonn to do by Sunday night. We got there about 3pm and we left at about 9:30pm....so we got home by about 12:30am. We were glad we could go help him. Sunday was church and Aaron and I bore our testimonies - well, Aaron is good and bares his testimony every fast Sunday - and last month he wanted me to, but I chickened out and said I would this month...so I did. I then taught Sunday school and we learnt about the Saviors Second Coming - turned out to be a really good lesson - the kids in my class are really good and participate and ask questions and are just awesome - so it makes my calling really nice. After church we went home and cooked some dinner before Jeri took off and made the 2 hour drive back to her place. It was a really good weekend and we're glad she came for the visit. Aaron and I then took a nap and then decided to drop in and see Helle and Kent Brimhall - our friends in the ward that are just awesome and always invite us to do stuff with them. It was crazy because we got there about 6:30pm and by the time we looked at the clock, it was 9:30pm haha - time went so fast. Anyways, so that was our weekend :)
