Turning Thirty Three

Last Friday was Danny's birthday and I was so busy planning his birthday surprise (to be blogged about later) I didn't get a chance to do a birthday blog for him.

I have seen these lists before (and always thought they were kind of cheesy) but that didn't stop me and thought it would be fun to make one with 33 things I love about Danny because he is now 33. But to spice it up, I am going to add 33 pictures of us. The list and the pictures might not go together, but I like blogs the best when there are some pictures.

Run, Drive, Sleep Repeat?...Not Me.

I had no desire to run Ragnar this year, but I still wanted to participate. My brother has ran the past few years on a team and each year all the teams need to provide 3 volunteers. I have always wanted for volunteer at a race, so I took this chance to. When we had to sign up and Danny and I were going to do it together. But as the race got closer, Danny ended up subbing in for my brother who was injured. I had to find someone who would be willing to volunteer with me on a Friday night from 8pm-1am in Eden. Lucky for me, my good friend Susie said she would!!

We went up early so we could cheer on Danny. His run was from Liberty Park to Carlos and Harley's in Eden. We watched him run on part of the course, then we rushed to the exchange to see him hand off the slap bracelet. It was fun to be a spectator, but I was feeling a little jealous.

After their van left, we still had a little while before we had to check in, so we went to dinner.

We then checked in and were put in charge of writing down the teams and what time they made their exchange. The bookkeeping was a mess. Somehow Some of the teams had double times and we couldn't figure out why. Because we were the late shift, there weren't too many teams that still had to come through. Which means we had a lot of down time. We talked and laughed and and ate red vines and made some new friends. At about 10:30 we were told that the last team was going to be coming through soon and as soon as they passed we could take down the exchange and go home...yeah!! By then it was getting really cold, so we were happy to almost be done.

Run Danny Run

Run faster!!

Almost done!!

Getting ready for the exchange!!

Volunteering was really fun and I would do it again, if I am not running!! 

Thanks Susie for helping out!!!

The Utah Arts Festival

Last week Danny and I went to Salt Lake to the Utah Arts Festival. Danny's friends Jordan and Jamie's band Wafer were playing there, so lucky for us we were hooked up with tickets to go. We got there about when they started and they did awesome. Everyone should check them out.  Plus, there were lots of drunk people dancing all about, which always makes for fun people watching. We were lucky enough to talk with one of them after, he was pretty funny.

After they were done, we walked around and looked at a few of the booths set up. A lot of the booths were shutting down for the night, but we still got to see a few cool things. I only took two pictures...I guess there was a knitting booth and they had knitted this car. It was covered with knitted stuff. The inside had balls and balls of yarn. It was cool.

Hanging with the Honsvick's

One of my good friends Kristy and her husband Jeff made a goal to go to all the temples in Utah. They are getting close to making their goal, but one of the ones they still needed was the Logan. They live in Salt Lake and we don't get to see them too often. So when Kristy told me that they still needed Logan, I invited me and Danny to tag a long with them. We planned a day....then that fell through. We planned another day...again it fell through. Then we finally found a day that worked for both of us and went.

Danny, Kati, Jeff and Kristy...yay for camera timers!!

After the Temple, we went to dinner at the The Bluebird. It was good. We had a fun time! Can't wait to hang out with them again!! 

Surfing Injury Update

About a week or so after the surfing injury, the very expensive glue fell off and we were left with this...

It's looking good...not too big of a scar, but enough so we will always remember surfing.

Monday Night At The Movies...with Ogden's Finest

One of our favorite summer time activities is to go to the outdoor movies. The place we go to the most is the one in downtown Ogden at the amphitheater. It is fun to find a spot and hang out with Ogden's finest. Every time I go, I am proud to be an Ogdenite. Ogden is taking good care of their homeless by providing them with entertainment once a week in the summer time.

Last year at this very event we were introduced to the movie of all movies...

If you haven't seen this movie...you are probably okay. We were late for this one and it felt like we had watched the movie for hours and hours and left before it was over. The funniest part is everyone said "McLintock" different in the movie. I still to this day am not sure the proper pronunciation for it or what the plot was. We tried watching it a couple of months ago on our free on demand...but we were done within the first 5 minutes.

Anyway, this years movies have started and we went last week. It was "How to Train Your Dragon". Danny hadn't seen it. It is a very cute movie. We were having fun...but it was a little cold and we were uncomfortable so we left and found the movie at Redbox so we could see the end of the movie in the comfort of our own house.

These are just pictures of us waiting for the movie to start.

Anyway if you are ever in Ogden on a Monday night...feel free to join us!!
