5 Months, 17 Days Later...

Well a lot has happened since the last post, January 1st. Where to begin. Oldest to newest I guess. We were in twin before Christmas and Brian came home from riding one day and said he was going to do the snow-bike race on January 28th in McCall, Idaho. I have never been there. People from this side of the state don’t go there for vacation. We go to Jackson or Island Park. I guess it is quite the popular vacation place on the other side of the state. Brian was very determined to do well. He hasn’t been able to ride much this year with school but he said he would rather loose because he just hasn’t had the time on the bike that everyone else had instead of loosing because he was out of shape. We started to go to the gym and exercise 5 days a week. I loved it! I lost 5 pounds! He lost his motivation to exercise on January 29th and I am still looking for ways to motivate him to go to the gym with me. We took a three day weekend and headed up there with the Meacham’s and Doxey’s and stayed at a really really nice place. We had a blast and he did awesome! Not to mention it was the Winter Carnival and there were SO MANY fantastic and wonderful sculptures!




On our Way

He came in second to Shane Donica. I guess he was a really good retired pro rider so not to shabby! Way to go Brian!





I guess the next thing to tell is school. Brian is now in his last semester at BYU-I studying Mechanical Engineering. We have been job searching and hoping that we hear something soon. I had no idea it takes this long! I am starting to get stressed out! We have applied at some of the following places:
-Paccar
-Cummins
-John Deere
-Cat
-Peterbuilt

If you know of anyone looking for an engineer straight out of college…. LET US KNOW!

We are getting down to the wire. I have had to let work know that I don’t know where I will be come August and the anticipation of where we will make our next adventure is starting to get to me. I think mid-terms are next week! CRAZY!


And the most recent adventure, SUPERCROSS. Brian loves this sport. This year he got us all tickets and we headed down to Salt Lake. We stayed at Little America and it was really nice. It was fun because they had really fun motifs in the rooms. Ours was PINK! It was a really cold weekend. Brian says it was a lot warmer than it has been in the past however which was good I guess. We did a little shopping Saturday and Brian and Dad went early to the races and went to the pits. Edge and MBRP were there and all the Premier people that were there got to have free food! Lucky boys.

We had a really great time. We hate Chad Reed. We are so glad he didn’t win! What do you think Monster girls do during the day to look the way they do??

After the races we headed out to Jerolyn William’s home, owner of Industrial Injection and enjoyed a fun night with her family and some people from work. The next day we spent the afternoon at the Hill Airforce Base. Yipee… I could be in and out in an hour. My husband…. Who drug me to the Midway aircraft carrier for six hours… could have stayed there for two days!

So glad you finally posted some pics. Congrats to Brian for coming doing so well in the race. Also, I love the Hill Air Force Musuem. I could stay for 1 day.
