Boise

I love Boise. And even more, I love eagle. Every time I go home two things happen. First, I have a renewed desire to get everything done at school so that we can move back there as soon as possible and Second, being there makes it really hard to have to make the drive back to Provo. Really hard.

This last weekend we got to ski at bogus basin. Right now we live in Utah with the claimed greatest snow on earth and I still just love skiing at Bogus. It was the night for the ski patrol photo so after the closed all the lifts, Kurt and all the patrollers gathered up the cats and snow mobiles for a picture. The life light helicopter had been on the way up for the picture, but it got called off on the way. The patrollers also had a rookie race which was really fun to watch.

The rest of the weekend was spent getting wedding stuff ready. We got a new place for a reception and finished our registries. Oh, and Harry bought some chacos... Finally. I think he is already addicted. Welcome Harry to the world of chacos, there is no going back now.

Starry night and star wars

Harry and I decided to go for a little hike Saturday night in the foothills behind Orem. It turned out to be quite eventful.
First as we walked above a neighborhood I looked down and was just sure there was a small military type tank sitting in he street. I made us walk down to check it out. Turns out it was a trailer with a bunch of boards on it. Ha

Next we saw a cat running around and noticed it was chasing a mouse. We stopped to watch it, but then it actually caught it and the mouse was all squeaking really loud. I immediately regretted stopping watch. Yuck

Then best of all, as we are getting into the car another car pulled up and two men jumped out and this is what we witnessed


Yes, a full on light saber fight.  You can't tell but they were playing star wars music in the car.  At one point one guy wanted to turn off the music and lock his car and they fought the whole way over and as he was turning it off, then they proceeded to take off up into the foothills, fighting the whole way.

About 5 minutes after us sitting there watching them with the window down and laughing we see them stop on the side of the hill and one points down to us and is like "hey those guys are watching us" as if he was offended that we would be watching them do something so completely normal.  

I don't know how it took them so long to realize that we were still there......
