The Story

Well, since Jeff had to go and post something above my announcement, I figured I had to post something to get my glory back. So, this is how it all went down.

We decided to go golfing, which we have been meaning to do for a long while. We went to Rose Park golf course near Kirk & Christy's. I had decided that I would put the ring in the 9th hole so when she made her put she could find the ring and we would still get our full game in. The only problem was, I would have to leave the ring in the box so it didn't get lost or damaged, although that made it easier for her to see. It was a risk I was willing to take.

About hole #7 I was thinking I had made a huge mistake. Needless to say, we are not professional golfers and couldn't make any of our putts. I realized it would be a disaster when she went to putt and it took her 3 shots. She would see it too soon for sure.

So, along came the 9th green. I had to get her to slow down while I went and found my ball, so I told her to wait and we would have a competition on the final hole, the loser of course would have to buy drinks. I went and removed the flag, ever so slyly placing the ring and box in the hole. I went first and missed my putt but quickly hit my ball in the last 6 inches.

That is when the miracle happened. The heavens were opened and Tamara sank her putt from about 12-15 feet. After the day's putting, I am sure it was divine intervention that got the ball in the hole. She was pretty excited about that and was already celebrating as she went to pick her ball up out of the hole. When she got there she bent down about halfway before she just stopped and stared.

I was of course kneeling down next to her now and I picked up the ring since she didn't seem to want to pick it up herself. She didn't really say anything, but started hugging me and freaking out, so I figured that counted as a yes.

Thank you all

Well, I am glad to announce that tomorrow mom and dad's loan will be paid off that we have been paying on for the last couple of years. Thank you all for doing that, mom and dad are very thankful. For those of you who are depositing money automatically, you may want to stop the transfers. Or, I know we talked about using it as a reunion account if you wanted to, but we never committed on anything. Just know that the loan is paid off and mission is accomplished. Thanks again!

Brock's First Stitches

So, we were over having dinner at a friends house with the missionaries tonight and then I had to go to my geneology class. About 30 min. into my class, Ann Syphus shows up with blood on her sweater and hands. She at least had a smile so I knew it wasn't life threatening. I guess Brock fell off her chair and hit his head on her granite fireplace. So I left my class and we all four went to an instacare.He had cut it clear down to the skull. It was actually interesting to see the doctor move the cut around and see about four inches of the bone underneath. The girls took this in stride but one of us, I wont name names, had to look away. So there were four stitches underneath and eight on top. It was a nasty gash so I guess we were okay taking him in. I was just thinking yesterday that it was supprising he hadn't had any bumps or cuts we've had to worry about. We'll post a picture, since I know you're all dying to see, tomorrow. Unfortunatly, we didn't get one before the stitches.
Everyone else is doing great. Kirk is excited about starting school next week. The summer has flown by! Love to all.

Hello everyone. Just saying hi. It has been awhile for posting so I figured we could start it up again. We got back to Alabama safely and as soon as we stepped off the plane we both thought we wanted to be back in the west again. So we can't visit anymore because then we don't want to come back. Thank you again Kirk and Christy for the car. You guys are awesome and we want you to know that it was really appreciated. Also we had a lot of fun thank you Jeff and Kristen for planning a great reunion. We can't wait for the next one (that we can't come to if you have read previous sentences). But now that everyone is back and settled in, you can start posting again. Congrats on the twins coming home and hope all is well there. As well as Sadie, she is in our prayers and hope that things are going well in Wyoming or at least progressing. Love you all and START POSTING. We love to hear even little things in your lives.

To whoever Adam Baum is...

I hereby cordially invite you to not post any comments on our blog, save your apology to my little brother. In the first place, you do not know any of us, so this really isn't too much of your business. Secondly, you don't know the person that you so directly insulted, nor understand his sense of humor, so you have simply made yourself laughable and silly, rather than whatever image you thought you were conveying. That's about as nice as I can be on that score.
Well, Bryar cut her hair about three months ago and cut it right on the top, right to the skin. And she didn't just cut a little, probably half of the top of her hair. So she has had a mullet for awhile but now I have decided to cut it all so it didn't look like I had a raga muffin running around. Now she just looks like she just has really short hair.

WESTON NEEDS HELP

so... due to the incompetence and corruption of the illinois government, i now owe $227.95 on a red light ticket that i didn't know about until friday of last week. this balance must be paid by this friday or i will have my drivers license suspended, and or be put in jail. i tried to see if since i didn't know about it until two late fee's had been added, if they would let me put it down to the regular ticket price of $100 but since i was so late paying for a ticket that i didn't know about, mycourt date where i could argue that point is already passed. being the corrupt institution that all illinois government is, they don't really seem to care to much about my "logic" and simply demand that i pay the ticket. so i don't know who is in a position to help out but i really hope some of you look at this blog before friday and spread the word around to whoever can. also because the date is so soon that it must be paid by, the only way to pay it will be online, which means that the money will need to be put intomy account at the bank of AF in cash so that it processes asap. i would pay for this myself but as i only get 137 a month and just a week ago decided to buy myself shoes with the money that i had been saving from month to month, along with a few other items. even though i have been frugal with my money and have a hundred dollars left over, it's not enough to pay the ticket. sorry for both this blog dominating post and the inconvienence it causes but i would really like to not go to jail, so if anyone could please help, i'll be checking this more often for the next couple of days, rather than just once a week, wo please let me know. also you still need to pay attention to christy's post below this since i shoved it clear out of sight. thanks family, please help soon.

Need some ideas

So, Kirk is going on two campouts before and after the reunion. So I asked him when I got to have a vacation. So I get to play the week after our reunion but then I got stumped with ideas. I thought of flying out to visit Kim and Joe but it would be pretty lonely since they're at their other reunion. Other than that, I'm drawing blanks.So if anyone has any fun things or ideas, let me know.
