We're CHEAP! There you go...I've said it!

We don't have internet in our humble basement home! Nor do we have cable or the fancy DVR all of you take for granted. Because of that, I missed the first 2 weeks of 'so you think you can dance'. BLASTED! That's right....when we want to record something we pop in the ancient VHS tape. I bet some of you have even forgotten what a VHS tape is! I think the only other people on the face of this planet that don't have cable and DVR are Kevin and Daina Horne. You have no idea how disconcerting that is to me....Chris is so much his Dad and his Mom. Ya, sure we'll always be dressed nice(thank you Daina, I will always be indebted to you for that) but will we ever own one of those precious DVR machines(I don't even know what they're called) or will I ever have the chance to get hooked on to one of those food network shows or MTV shows?? I don't think so. But surprisingly, I think I'm ok with that.
NOW, on to what we've been up to for the last couple of months....pictures will have to come later(I'm at work and they're kinda nazi's and I don't think they'd appreciate me downloading pics to this computer)
APRIL
*Chris and I ran the SLC 1/2 marathon. Chris stayed by my side to help pace me for a PR. I was dead at the end and wasn't able to appreciate that until a good 15 min after finishing. I just felt pain and remorse for pushing myself so hard. But then that went away and I was so grateful for my sweet husband for helping me and not worrying about a good time for himself.
*Chris graduated!! My Mom & Dad came up for it along with his Mom & Dad, Annie, Courtney and his Uncle Gary & Aunt Sue. It was a lot of fun having everyone up here. And I'm sure his Dad and Uncle Gary will always be glad they made the 10hr drive only to miss Chris' name being announced. Hysterical. Those lil goons were just chatting away out in the hallway and missed it!

MAY
We celebrated Chris' graduation by going on a cruise with Brett and Rachel Miller. Our stops were Coco Cay Bahamas, St Thomas, and St Martin. And we also got to go to Disney World free, thank you Rach!! So really, it kind of felt like two vacations in one. It was so much fun with the Millers. We were always entertained! Whether it was Rachel obsessing about anything involved with Space(she teaches 1st grade and I guess the last 2 weeks involved space this and space that), or her turning the ladies bicep contest into a "So you think you can dance" contest, or her beginners luck at Roulette and not so beginners luck at Bingo, or the fact they almost didn't make it on the ship (that explains Rachel's tears. They were the last 2 on the ship!). It was so much fun and can't wait for another excuse to spend a butt load of money and travel with these two! Love you guys!!

Well I'm glad to hear you didn't fall off the face of the earth! That is so fun that you guys went on a cruise and Disney world too:) SO FUN! And it's kinda nice not to have a DVR (eventhough we do have one casue Trev. is obsessed with t.v.) but it's nice to go without casue you watch less t.v. I'de rather do something more productive with my time. I miss you, make a trip to your home town all ready!

pops is the one that is cheap, not me. every since we got the new digital TV in the kitchen, dad thinks we have cable because we get four different channel 8's. what more does he need? :) :( as you can see i have mixed emotions.

love, mom

I already miss you so much! Another trip is needed! Love the pictures! But did the space helmet one really need to go first so it would be repeated??? Oh yeah you mentioned Chris did it...Chris!!!! Not necessary. And the crying picture with no explanation! LOL jk. Well I can't tell you how glad I am that we got on that ship! Pretty scary to think back and realize how close of a call it was... step foot on the ship then take off!!!
