10 for Tuesday!

I haven't written in awhile so I hope that I will remember everything that happened to us last month.
1) At the end of July I went to Youth Conference as a support person. For Youth Conference we went to Kirtland, Ohio. We had around 50 kids go and everyone had a really good experience.

One of the 6 groups (Silver Spring Stake)

2) Gary and I watched "inception" and both enjoyed the movie.
3) While Gary was gone on his business trip to Guyana I got pulled over twice in one week on the same road. :( I got pulled over twice for the same reason. Our tags were expired, but of course when I was pulled over twice I got 3 other citations. I was actually really flustered that I couldn't find my insurance card so I he told me that I had to appear in court. When Gary came home we went to the MVA to get our tags renewed. It was a bit of a hassle, but we finally were able to get everything straighten out. I have a court date scheduled for September. :(
4) We took one more cabinet out of our kitchen and have yet to buy a new one.

5) At the last minute Gary, Jen and I took a road trip up to Rhode Island for the weekend. We went up there because Jen (Gary's sister) wanted to do some research for her historical novel she's currently writing.
6) It was nice to get away for awhile and I had never been to Rhode Island before so it was a neat experience. We went to a little town called Westerly. It was very beautiful. Hayward Gatch a historian there showed us around the town and had some very interesting stories to share with us.

7) Before we came home we decided to drive up to Boston since it was only a short drive up there. We just spent the morning walking around the town since we needed enough time to drive home. I thought it was a cute little town and very friendly and thought it would be nice to come back and see more. We visited the old and new state house which was interesting.

Funny picture of us


Duck Pond (I could of stayed there all day, because it was so beautiful and peaceful)

It made me wish we could of stayed longer!

Added this picture just because I'm a nerd. :P

8) I went to court this week and to make a long story short Gary saved the day. He talked to the policeman and showed him that we always had insurance and he was nice enough to drop the charge so we didn't have to pay any fines which was a total of $400!
9) We went to another book signing for Brandon Sanderson on Wednesday for his new book "Way of the Kings" Gary and I were very excited about it. There were tons of people at the book signing so we didn't really have any good seats. I love Brandon because he is so down to earth. He book has really cool maps in it and pictures throughout his book. We were going to be a long wait until he could sign our book so we went out to get something to eat. When we came back we still had a little while to wait so Gary bought a Munchkin game and we got a couple of people to play with us.
10) We are still slowly remodeling our kitchen so we put a couple of more cabinets in our kitchen.
Till' next week!
