Jess and I went to Utah to visit his fam. It was fun and sort of relaxing. His family is very adventurous. The first day there, we went mountain biking on a scary trail. It was fun, don't get me wrong, but my body has adjusted to the intake of smog and not crisp, high altitude air. Lets just say I couldn't breath after about 30 seconds. The next day we went on a Rock Climbing trip and after about 30 feet in the air I had to be brought down. I am getting old. There were 7 year old kids braver than me who passed me up in about a minute. The next day we went on another mountain biking trip and this time the lack of oxygen almost made Zack(Jess's younger brother) and I barf and blackout. Luckily that didn't happen. It was a 17 mile bike ride and 10 miles felt like it was uphill. The down hill part was so sketchy with boulders and tree roots sticking out everywhere and then came the lightening storm. Finally on the last day there, Jess and I decided to take out the road bikes and peddle against 30 MPH winds. All I keep thinking is "I am burning calories!" And that is what motivated me.
I did get the new Harry Potter book and I got to go to the movie theater 2 times which is a big deal for me since I only go about 2 times a year.

It's like whoa!

I tried to post a picture on here and it took 20 minutes since we still have Dial Up. It is almost like saying we still buy A-tracks. Then, after I waited that long I "previewed" what I posted and it scared me because the picture was so big. I don't have time to fix it. That made me mad so this is all I am doing for now.

Pollos

This whole blog thing is hard. I guess I just write about what is happening here in our lives but that is weird to me. I think I just need to get used to this. Is this what most first time bloggers blog? I am getting mad at one of our chickens. She is trying to lay in the mud and another hen keeps pecking her. I hate the pecking order. Is that too random? This is almost like I am talking to myself and it shouldn't be like that. OK.Jess and I have two dogs. Sassy is A.D.D. and Duke is lazy so they balance each other out. They are annoying but I like them, and they also are very big. Duke weighs over 120 and Sassy is only 70 pounds. We also have 2 goats and they hate me and they try to hit me with their horns. They love Jess and follow him around the back yard. Oh, and we have 5 chickens that lay different color eggs.
