Barn good show!

'
Cory put on a "barn good show"! He had everyone play acoustic and either cover songs or just play something they have created themselves! It was a blast! Blake Hallock, Steve and Terresa Hulmes, Brian Walker and Cory played! They all did an AWESOME job! It was fun to hear all different kinds of music! Also this barn was so old and fun to shoot! This barn was perfect for this, lights were already up and seats already there! This time it was pretty small gathering, like 15 or so people were there, But everyone loved it and got pretty excited for the next one!
The next "Barn good show" is august 20th, I'm pretty sure it will be around the same time as the last, eight 0'clock! We are trying to get a bunch of people there this time! Let me know if you want more info about it....address and everything! Plus it would be awesome if you wanted to play something or you know someone that would want to! There will be a piano there and a PA to mic guitars and vocals!!

Lindsey, Please read!

Projects

Thank goodness the weather has gotten warmer....I was about to move to Hawaii just to keep my sanity!! (hey not a bad idea huh?!) Well this summer we have kept ourselves busy with little projects around the house.... you know "Honey do lists"! (So this is Cory... editing Katie's post so that the spelling is right... WE by we she means ME...)We have a list of things we need to get done around the house before we can even think about getting a mac book computer !!!! P.s Cory bought me a new camera!!! What a sweet heart! He found my same kind of camera on ksl and surprised me for a late birthday present!! I love when my birthday celebration lasts till middle of June!! Anyways back to the projects....

1. We are painting glossy stripes on one wall of our room, the wall backing up to our bed! Then we are going to put crown molding just around that wall to frame it in and put up an old door for our head board! Pretty easy project, if we just put our minds to it! This "weekend project" has turned into a month long EXTRAVAGANZA!! and we are still not even close to being done! haha Story of our lives!
2. Clean out the garage, We are getting closer to this goal! Cory hung up our bikes we just need to actually clean out the thing and give the four wheeler back to his parents! Once again pretty easy but some how still not done!!!
3. Hook up the salon sink (which Cory bought for me back in December!!) Finally the sink is mounted it just needs to be hooked up to the water! After our flood we decided we need a pro to come in and hook it up! We are not about to explore that ourselves!
4. Paint the Office desk! I'm actually really excited about this! We decided to paint our roll top desk black and mod-podge on the indents old fashion news paper! Sounds weird but it will look way cool, Plus new handles will really help this poor desk look SEXY!!!(She forgot to add my modern touch!!! Fully automatic roll top, I'm installing a switch and motor to open and close it.. I guess that's the engineer in me.)
   

Plus many more projects to come......
We have started on the bedroom wall....clearly didn't get far!

For fathers day kneaders was giving out free french toast!!! YUMMY!!! We took our chances on them turning us down because cory is not a father...yet, but they were totally cool and let us pretend we were part of the cool father club!!! p.s this french toast is to DIE for!!!!!!!
Cory decided he needed a chef hat...This was the best we could do!! haha (actually I didn't decide anything, Katie smashed it on my head and laughed... naturally I left it on to keep her laughing)

Out of SHAPE!!!

Driving down main street there is almost more traffic with the runners and bikers then there are cars!! Alpine is stuffed with fit little people trying to look their best in their new yellow polka-dot bikini! So naturally i thought i would jump on that! The work out videos do no justice when its sunny outside! This last tuesday i thought it would be nice to take a little jog outside, Harmless right? Wrong, i thought i was going to die! I got to the end of my driveway and my ipod dies, i should have known to stop right there....This running business is not my thing! Yet i decide to keep on, keepin on! So i get one block north and see the cemetery hill, I see people run up hills all the time and they look just fine! So i attempt it, and failed! I NOW realize you need to either walk up STEEP hills or at least work up to it. I was so tired after that i ended up walking around the creepy cemetery and jog/walk/look pathetic as i worked my way home! So today i planned on redeeming myself with biking instead of running! Which went a little better, but i think its only because on my way home it was all down hill and i just sat there and enjoyed the ride! You got to give me credit for trying right! Moral of the story is....i need to get my lazy butt out of the house more!! Plus get some sun on these stems of mine! I think people were blinded by my white legs! That's a whole other story! And now i want to go boating.... any takers?

Is this real life?

Watch this.....you will die!!

LUCK?

Luck LuckLuck...... Is a funny word!! One day you have it and the next day... its gone!!! All of it! So we are all aware of our flood, Well that is all cleared up and dandy! That was just an adventure in our eyes, everyone goes through it hopefully only once. Little did i know that was just the beginning of a real eye opener! So we went to AZ this past weekend with Tara and Wyatt! We have been planning this little get-a-way for a few weeks, it was kinda a nice break from school, work, pretty much life!! Tara was down there for work so Cory, Wyatt and i drove down wed night at 8. We drove all night ....well they did, no one wants me driving at night i don't have great depth perception at night, we wanted to get there in one piece! So we got there really early in the morning! We saw the sun set and rise! So we just played all day, i brought down my new NIKON D3000 (remember my baby?) so i could play around with it and learn how to really use it! Well that night as we were walking back to the hotel Cory and i decide to take up a bike ride offer of one of those guys riding around pulling people on a little two seater benches. It was only five dollars so we hoped on...Purse and all. We got close to the end of our ride..... keep in mind it was only about ten minutes long when i realize my purse is gone, (we think it fell off the back). It had my life in it, i know that's lame to say but really.... My new camera, My snap shot camera, New phone Cory got me for valentines day, My new pink ipod Cory had just gotten me to replace my last one that was stolen, planner, wallet, about 150 bucks and all of my cards, The keys to the car...and all these things were nicely placed in my Juicy bag i got for my birthday last year...not even one year old, it was just a baby! Once i realized it was gone we back tracked and called my phone, it was already turned off and my purse was no where to be found. That ...Blank-etty-blank person who stole my purse got well over 1000 dollars worth of crap that probably didn't even mean anything to them. The worst part about it, is knowing someone out there has my identity and could really do damage one day.

Word of advice....don't caring things worth any value in your purse! haha
But lets look on the bright side...we got a $10 ride for only $5!!! What a deal!

The rest of the trip was fine, it was just hard to be on vacation when you don't have any money!! The weather was AWESOME!!! 95 degrees ...who can complain! Great food and company! So moral of the story is...if you see someone with a Nikon D3000 camera and they are not truly appreciating its beauty and splendidness, let me know cuz it could be mine. That is the item i will miss the most!! We will just have to start from scratch and save up again! Hey second times a charm right? RIGHT?

Excuse the grammar or spelling....(Carly) Cory is not here to correct and i really don't want to fix it!!

We are going to be GREAT PARENTS one day!
