Listening to Elder Oaks

You can't really tell it's him in the picture, but Elder Oaks came to our stake for a special conference last Sunday. His talk was so amazing...lots of stuff to work on though. Scott and I did so well at getting up early and getting to the building in time to get seats. only one problem...wrong building. haha We ended up at the right building about a half hour early, but still every seat was taken...and most of the standing room. So i stood behind the back row and Scott scrounged up some chairs so we could all sit. Brian and Cathy came out to listen too. It was such a wonderful day...anyway that's the story behind the picture.

Hockey Night

Last night, my cousin and I went to cheer on our local hockey team, the Everett Silvertips. My boss' boss' boss had some extra tickets and told me they were first come, first serve. Amazingly enough, I got there first!! We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about hockey.

• Hockey players like to confuse everyone by entering and leaving the ice whenever they want.
• Hockey Fans are more violent then the players-there is nothing they won't do to encourage a good fight between players.
• A blatant chop to the neck with your stick is not a foul.
• Hockey can be stretched out like no other sport...not even football has anything on hockey. if there is 1.3 seconds on the clock expect that game to last for at least 10 more minutes.
• Hockey players spend more time taking breaks then playing the game.

Those are just some of the things I learned last night. Here are some of the pictures I took:

Cousin and I chillin in our seats...we were right behind the goal about 6 rows back. We had a pretty good view of everything and feared for our life a few times when a shot towards the goal went astray. But they have nets and stuff up to protect you from that sort of thing.

Just some of the action packed night we enjoyed. The 'Tips, as they're known to the folks around here, came really close to making a spectacular comeback, but it was too little, too late. They ended up losing 3-4. Tough break for the Tips. It was a really fun night for us, but I feel bad for all those disappointed fans...not one real fight the entire night. It's ok...there's always next time!

A tough morning

These were my favorite shoes....

Mariner's Game

For our "One-Year-As-A-Couple" Anniversary Scott surprised me with tickets to the Mariners game. We had amazing seats...2nd row from the field and right by the ball girl...not that it helped us score a foul ball...they always give those to little kids..LAME!!!
The Mariner's played so well, and the Oakland A's sucked it up, so we got to watch the M's soar to a 7-0 victory!!!

We had so much fun!!! Except when a foul ball came inches from hitting me in the head and then the 60-year old man behind us was trying to break my arm to get the ball. I told him I would get the ball for him since he couldn't reach it, but I guess he didn't believe me cause he started whacking my hand with his glove to keep me away from the ball. He was yelling, "It's my ball, don't touch it!! It's mine!!!" Real Mature, man. I didn't realize you could call dibs on foul balls. I doubt his system would hold up in a court of law.
