Behind in Blogging

I've been MIA for two months! Life goes by fast and Ken and I have been busy. Here is an update into our lives...

Deer Scare

On the way to the club a deer almost came to it's demise by way of our bummer. Once the headlights lit up the doe, I screamed, Ken swerved, and there was this loud noise. We stopped and Ken got out to investigate; there was no dead deer, no blood, just a smudge mark along the side of the truck where the salt had been rubbed off. This is the first time we've seen a deer in this area (leaving our house, on Redwood Road, between the Maverik and Bangerter Hwy).

Area 51 - Naughty or Nice

We had so much fun the last time we went to Area 51, we decided to give it another go. This time the night's theme was "Naughty or Nice." Being shortly after Christmas, there were a handful of people dresses in Santa or Elf costumes; however, we went for a goth, black ensemble.

Christmas at HealthSouth

On Christmas day, we packed the MINI with gifts, Grandma Nelson hopped in, and we brought Christmas to Ken's Mom, Chris, who was recovering from knee replacement surgery at HealthSouth. A three way call was made and Ken's Dad, who is in Virginia, and Ken's Sister, Brother-in-law, and nephew, who are in Alaska, were present. As we opened up presents, we decorated Chris' leg with bows. The craziest part was when Ken's Dad was opening his present from Chris; we asked, "What is it?" and he replied, "It's a guitar." "No tell us what you really got." said Ken. Dennis replied that it was packaged well and that he was still opening it. We again asked, "What is it?" and he replied, "It's a guitar." There were strumming noises coming from the phone... the actual gift was suppose to be a framed picture of Mount McKinley. Having insured the package, we hope everything will get straightened out.

Ken's new hat says, "Alaska GROWN."

End of Semester Party

The End of Semester Party at the UofU thrown by our friend, Thad, was great. The night was filled with: eating great food, observing Jupiter and it's moons magnified 200x through the telescope on the roof of the South Physics building, listening to Thad's moon rock story, and watching music play on a Rubens' Tube.
