Short little note...

Hi again. This isn't going to be long, but I find it so funny that I just had to write it down before I forgot. You see, every night the campus sprinklers turn on, not unusual for a place this big. Well, by Aggie Village there is a sprinkler that has lost it's head and it looks like Old Faithful every night. I am talking at least 15 feet high (not exaggerating). So we were driving home tonight, and we saw that old faithful was going again, so Rob decides to drive under it and get a free car wash! We drove through the spray 4 times. And the crazy thing is that it actually worked. When we got out of the car and looked at it, the car was cleaner. Free car washes at Aggie Village!!!

So much happens in so little a time...

Hi again. It's been over a month since I last wrote (FYI). The reason I don't write regularly is because nothing really happens in our lives that is exciting enough to share with you. This last month was much the same. I wrote papers and worked, Rob worked and worked, we were together in the evening and read or watched something. Nothing big. Then, all of the sudden, we have a crazy weekend and stuff happened. This last Friday we went and saw The Scarlet Pimpernel with Rob's side of the family. It was way fun. The acting was good, the music was good, the settings were good. It was way fun. (I know I am repeating myself) I was so excited about it that I convinced my Dad to go to. He and Nancy and Grandma and (cousin) Kimmy went to the show right after the one we went to.

Also on Friday Dad invited us to go try out a boat he was considering buying. It's a cute little 18 footer. It goes really fast. I had so much fun. The boat has an open nose, so I got to sit up front while we were going fast. Since it was a windy day, the water was really wavy and that made for a bumpy, yet exciting, ride. And I forgot to wear sunblock. Oops. I got burned, literally. The really sad part about it is that my burn didn't turn into a tan, but faded away. :( Rob, on the other hand, got darker. Life isn't fair sometimes.

Another exciting thing that happened this weekend is that Rob and I bought a new camera. It's a really nice Nikon. It's kinda weird. The reason it feels weird is that this is really one of the first big/expensive items that Rob and I have bought together. It's not his that became mine too, or mine that became his too, but it is ours. I like the sound of it though.

School starts this next Monday. I'm excited that this is the last time for me that school starts.

Next random story. So while Rob and I were teasing each other the other day, I overextended my thumb. What happened is that Rob was trying to go to the other room to get dinner and I wouldn't let him. When he stood up to leave I grabbed the back of his shirt and he fell back down. The problem was that he fell on my thumb (that was pointing towards him in my grip) and he landed on it. I can tell you that overextending you thumb hurts, a lot. Rob felt really bad, but it wasn't his fault. Later that evening as we were getting ready for bed, I informed Rob that it's hard to brush your teeth without detachable thumbs. (I meant opposable, but I was really tired). That got Rob laughing for the rest of the evening, and the next morning.

I guess that is all that has happened in our lives recently. Hopefully next time we will have used the camera and will have pictures again. YAY!
