On Saturday I finally got the opportunity to go shooting at a gun range. It was so much fun and super exciting. Not quite what I expected at first and it took me a bit to get used to all the noise going off. But I got my chance several times to load and shoot a 9mm doing about 64 rounds. Turns out I'm not too bad, and would love the chance to practice and get better.
On another note I went out and got to enjoy dinner at Flemmings a steak house and had amazing pork chops and chipotle mac and cheese. Always nice to eat somewhere with amazingly good food. To make things more fun Jayci works there as a hostess so I got to see her. I also gave the Relief Society lesson today on adversity and did a pretty good job. Too bad ran out of time and I didn't give to give all of it.
Lately there is so much going and I seem to be getting quite a few adrenaline rushes these days. This coming weekend I will be doing the ultimate rush and going sky diving with my friends. Hope I live to tell with an awesome video for proof!
I had a week off of work and decided what better way to spend it than to go visit my sister Stephanie, her husband Eldon and my neice Sophie in Texas. It had been since Christmas since the last time I saw their family and it was nice to be able to go and play with them. We went to the Botanic Garden, a Rangers game, shopping and just having fun. Sophie is the cutest girl ever and found that my being there meant that there were things she could play with not normally in the house. She loved my suitcase, my cell phone, getting into my underwear, and even my tampons.
Sophie was a total ham, she loved goofing off and pulling the silliest faces. She is already so cute and to top it off she's hilarious.
So while in Texas we were able to go to a Texas Rangers game who were play against the New York Yankees. The game started at 7pm but due to the oncoming bad weather they covered the field, made us leave our seats and wait for the storm to pass over. The clouds came as did rain and lightning and to top it off, hail! We got drenched and crossed our fingers the game would still occur. The storm passed over and after uncovering the field the game started at 9:30pm. We stayed through to the 5th inning around 11:30 but Sophie had had enough and was way past her bedtime. The game ended with a win from the Rangers 7-3. In the picture below you can see the storm and also the newly built football stadium in Arrlington, that is the pride and joy of Texas, it is still being worked on. You can see it from the Rangers Stadium.
It was sad to leave, I had such a good time. I will miss you guys and hope to see you again soon:)
