CONGRATULATIONS DONNIE AND DAWN!

August 13, 2010

Hola Ya'll!

It has definitely been awhile...just wanted to drop in and say we are still kicking.  Things have been crazy for us.

It is safe to say...Wezul and I didn't get arrested at the Slightly Stoopid/Cypress Hill/Collie Buddz concert at the end of July...still trying to decide what was more entertaining...watching the kids freak out over the cops that were wandering through the crowd or the music...haha!!!  Couldn't beat the price...$10 tickets...no service fees...and the new Raleigh Amphitheater.  We actually went to the opening of Cats and Dogs on it's opening weekend...this was right up my alley...very funny to moi...Wezul even chuckled.

Just when we thought things would be simple...things are a brewing for us...all good...more details later...for those that stop by...

We have a wedding...company...hockey...college and pro-football...seeing a really good friend we haven't seen in awhile...and that is just the tip of the hectic schedule we have coming up...

Times are changing...

Best World Cup ... EVER!

Spain won their first World Cup ever!  

The only thing that could have made this better is if the USA had won...but it proved to not be their year. Yes, I did buy the Spanish home jersey...yes I did wear it...yes I did cheer loudly when they won!  

Our First Day Hike Trip

Wezul and I went for our first hiking trip today around Falls Lake along the Mountains to Sea Trail.  It has two purposes:

1. It is to help Wezul prepare for his AT hike in October 
2. An escape for the both of us from the gym

The day started out with Wezul making fun of my wardrobe.  I had my REI booney hat, my hiking socks, and my hiking boots on.  Keep in mind I described some of the trail, crossing creeks by foot or foot bridges, grass, etc.  However, it didn't really sink into Wezul's head that it was not PAVED trails.  When we hit the path for the trail, he decided he should switch into his hiking boots.  I will have to give him some  leeway, the paths along the road we drove were all paved...so...I guess one could make the assumptions and laugh at me that I was "overdressed" for a walk along a paved path...

Everything was going well until my eye caught a glimpse of the all too familiar tongue I have come to known in my line of work....

Yup, in between the two trunks near the slinder tree sprout, there is a black snake.  He was crossing my path.  As I stopped, and let out a small yelp, I froze until I knew where he was going, but then Wezul was like get back here...so I moved towards Wezul.  At that point, Mr. Snake decided to turn around and go the other way until he noticed Wezul wanted a picture.  At that point, he arched up...and was like..."you looking at me?!?"  

Now I understand why Wezul prefers hiking in the winter time; however, I don't get a choice with my job.  :)  I have to say I prefer this snake to the usual copperheads or moccasins we run into at work.
