Ultimate Frisbee

Ultimate Frisbee is the new Football...are you in?
Every Saturday a group of us gets together and plays U.F.


The group changes everyweek, sometimes the boys just break out in dance...or at least that's what this looks like.



Check out the muscles on my husband..woot woo!


Best shot that I've gotten thus far...Michael is the one who caught this one....guess white men can't jump!




Look at how determined these two are.....hehehe.


One Gerhardt, or two? it looks like the two headed, three legged moster....smiles.




I like to play, but I also know when to walk away...and when to run!




What can I say, Jake is in love.




Jesse taking good care of the baby frisbee....
Amazing catch Mr. Metzger.
If anyone is intersted, come on out....it's great fun. But, be prepared to go away exhausted.!

Ben Lomond up Ogden Canyon

One of our resting spots. Just before we hit the hard stuff. I was huffing a lot up this piece of rock, but the view was great...until the dark clouds started rolling in...Jake is just out of this frame up the hill that you can see Susanna and Michael hiking up...Jake went ahead, and I needed some encouragement that there was, in fact, dry land up on the plateau suitable for us to camp out on....and it turned out, there was.

And yes, I made it to the top and it was good.

Susanna took this one...think we were waiting for the campfire or something...as you can see, it was somewhat warm....enough for just a tank-top...but that didn't last very long.

You may be asking yourself...

What have I been up to..here are a few picks. This first one is of Micheal teaching us the Merangue...we've been taking lessons for about one month now....We had about 3 lessons for the Merengue, and we started the Bachatta...(sp?) It's been very entertaining thus far...This is Corey, Jake, Erin and I at Group...Bible Study, whatever you want to call it...they are the couple that we met from Chicago, and have been fairly inseparable since we met.



who could resist?





oh, aren't they cute...

what to type?

i want to update, but not sure what to say.

i'm looking forward to only 18 more days of waking up at 6ish in the morning.

i'm looking forward to not having to leave places at 9pm in order to be in bed ontime.

i'm looking forward to being employeed by ONE not 2 or 3 companies.

i'm looking forward to hiking/camping over memorial day weekend

i'm looking forward to my mom coming to visit.

i'm looking forward to jake's parents coming to town, and maybe Andrew as well.

i'm looking forward to Improv night tomorrow

i'm looking forward to the season finale of lost Wednesday.

i love life

i love Jesus

i love faithful wonderful friends

that's about all i have to say about that...

oh, and i watched Bangkok Dangerous last week with Jake, I really enjoyed it, There was a deaf Thai woman portrayed in the movie, but as i was writing this I decided to look her up...apparently it was a hearing Chinese woman...Charlie Yeung. That makes me sad. Why couldn't they get a talented Deaf actress to play the role? that's dumb, and i now don't like the movie as much as i had a few minutes ago. I'm going to end this, and read more up on that....


that's about all.
thanks AS always for reading. I"LL really try to get some pics loaded up....it's just a time issue..

then again

i look forward to having time to upload my awesome pics of the awesome things that God allows me to be involved in.....smiles. Praise Jesus!

Blockbuster vs. Netflix

I'm a very passionate person.

If I like something, I like for everyone I know to know about whatever "it" is, and therefore for them to become apart of it.

I was a huge fan of blockbuster online. It was a good deal...good price, and I could get the movies I wanted from their warehouse, and they wouldn't be scratched...like so often had happened with their videos/dvds through the store.

HOWEVER, sometime ago, lets just say, OCT. they decided to up the price of the package we were signed up for...almost doubling the fee. We opted to stick with the price we had been accustomed to, but that meant we were limited in how many we could rent each month.

We stuck with it for 6 months, but as my schedule for work will be changing soon, and we found another company that has a competitive rate, and sounded convincing on how quickly they can send movies out to us.....

Low and behold..(not sure what that means...but it just sort of came out.) I signed up for Netflix yesturday...free 2 week trial, and my first selection (Shakespeare in Love,....i still haven't seen that...) should arrive TOMORROW! I'm so happy. I think we made a good choice, and are saving some money too!

(We don't go OUT to movies very often...trying to be good with our money, so I think $9 a month for all the movies that we would want to watch is a great deal!)

although..side note

with all these great movies coming out in the next few months, Wolverine, Star Trek, Harry Potter....we might have to give in and go to the big screen. I think the last time I went to the theater was for Twilight. ...seems like a long time ago, but it was opening...Matinee..so I did try to go cheap..

as always, thanks for reading...and feel free to comment about what you've been watching.

time to Celebrate!

(isn't everyday a day to celebrate ...however...)

TODAY marks 18months of almost 100% blissful marriage for Jake and me!
(if it were 100% I'd think something was wrong.)

I just thought i'd share.

yeah for us.

thanks for all your support.

God is great!
