anniversary

last friday was our anniversary. yep, its already been a year. hard to believe!!! we went to salt lake on friday afternoon. we went shopping to kill some time and then went out to eat. we went to The Melting Pot. terribly overpriced and not very good. not to mention that it took forever to eat. we had gotten tickets to a bees game that started at 7. at the restaurant they first bring out a cheese fondue and bread and veggies to dip in it. then they bring you a main dish and you cook your meat in the fondue pot right on your table. each thing took a really long time for them to bring out, and then to cook it, so we just skipped dessert because it was already like 7:30.

we went to the bees game and got hot dogs and nachos. much more our style :) that was the first baseball game i have ever been to and it was pretty fun. they were playing music and when i actually started listening i noticed it was christmas music. YUCK! and all the announcers were wearing santa hats. apparently they were doing some christmas in june thing. weird!

on saturday we were planning on going to Hogle Zoo. we drove there and there were cars parked probably about 6 blocks away with people walking to the zoo. not to mention that the front gates were packed!! we decided we didnt really want to fight crowds, so instead we went shopping again :) (friday we didnt really get anything we were just bumming around). i got some really cute stuff and im sure mike was having the time of his life..... but he payed me back by dragging me all over smith and edwards with him.

crazy to think that it was a year ago that we were all stressing to make sure we had everything we needed, and that all the details were right. all i can say is that i am sure glad that the planning part is long over and i never have to do that again!!!

mike's revenge

well, he finally did it! he caught himself a woodchuck!!!

he came home from work and saw one by the side of the house so he came running in the house and started loading his gun. of course i freaked out on him and told him to put it down. after awhile he finally listened to me and decided to set his trap instead. (it was in the house because he had been working on it).

he randomly decided to bait his trap with a marshmallow and apparently they like sugar :)

one of our neighbors was talking to us from her upstairs window, and she said she works from home so she is there a lot and she sees them com under our porch all the time. she told us that the one we caught was just a little guy compared to the others, but mike assures us it won't be the last one he catches.

we took it out to my parents house to get rid of it. mike was going to shoot it which is why there are no pictures of him letting it go, because i didnt want to see that. he took it up to the spring and he said he had a shot but his safety was on, and then he just decided to let it go. hopefully they dont start eating the plants out there!

this picture is pretty dark, but it is in the back
