This is a sample of our attempted nerdishness for the youth group's nerd bowling. I really did look nerdy!
Mom will also be pleased to note I have reverted to my childhood tea-grannyishness: I'm realy enjoying my tea with milk in the morning. And I might even have stood over the heat register in my pajamas the other morning. I love the way they billow out, and it's so nice and warm... some joys of childhood just don't age.

California Dreamin'
Something exciting has come up.
It just so happens I know a few Hanson fans who needed a fourth in their car for a nice little road trip down to California in November. We're planning on hitting up the last 5 shows of Hanson's The Walk tour, and I'm super excited!
We'll be gone for a week and a half, and catch shows in Anaheim, San Diego, San Fransisco, LA, and Vegas before heading home - and hopefully do a little site-seeing (maybe beach combing?) while we're down there.
The Walk tour is also trying to raise some money to help out some Africans: if you buy a pair of Toms shoes, a pair gets sent to a kid in Africa: all proceeds from the sale of the single Great Divide go to work with a Soweto hospital dealing in mother-child aids transmission, and the boys are also doing short walks (barefoot) before each concert to help raise awareness. I'm guessing it's awareness that some people don't have shoes, which leads to... we have a lot of stuff, please share it. At least that's my take on the walks.
So it should be a good time: I'm already planning on a new battery for my camera :)
Hooray for Hanson concerts!

Road trip!
J and I took a little road trip last Sunday to visit Tumbler Ridge - there was a competition at the skatepark. So we loaded up the car with skateboards, skate kids, helmets, and snacks, and headed out.
On the way there we passed what we call 'graffiti mountain'. This rock face is crumbling, and full of people's bombs & tags. Not many are well done, but it's still fun.
We also got to visit Steve & Taeya and hang out for a bit, since they were in the area as well!
It was raining as we drove to TR, but the sky cleared up just in time for the competition. None of our boys placed, but they had a good time & enjoyed the chance to test out a new park. Hooray!
Last night we had Jer & Britt over for a big ol' pasta dinner. There was an open house next door, and we went to check it out after eating - anybody want a fully renoed home? It's going for something like $275,000 and is pretty nicely redone . But you'd have to want to be our neighbor too ;)
We also watched Blades of Glory (Will Ferrell, the Napoleon Dynamite guy take on figure skating). It had some funny parts, but I wouldn't exactly reccommend it to anyone - too much *blech* stuff in it. Boo.
Oh, and... Hanson is touring again! Yay! The downside is that the closest stop to us would be either LA or Tulsa (each roughly 1 day & 8 hour drive by Google). Aah, maybe next tour...
