BIG News

The big news is that Mahonri and I took our first fishing trip of the season and we both caught a fish! Last weekend we decided to drive over to Enterprise Res. and go fishing. We had never been to Enterprise Res so we were excited to go try something new. It was a nice res. and we enjoyed spending time outdoors. Mahonri caught his fish on his second cast and I caught mine on the final cast of the night. It was a fun evening. Here are a few pictures:

Ok but really our fishing trip isn 't the BIG news. The truth is Mahonri and I will be moving back to Gunnison this summer. I got a job teaching PE at GVMS/GVHS and am super excited. This has been my goal since 10th grade when I decided I wanted to be a teacher. It works out really well because Mahonri and I both loved growing up in Gunnison Valley and wanted to move back eventually. It will be an exciting change of venue. Now we just have to figure out where Mahonri will transfer to and finish up school and also find a place to live. We cannot wait to go back!

Jazz Game

Mahonri and I like to try to fit a Jazz game into our schedule and budget each year. We weren't sure if we'd be able to this year because I am working Friday's now and our Spring Breaks were different weeks. However, we found a time at the end of my Spring Break to make it to a game. We went to the game on April 6 against the Golden State Warriors. We asked my parents to go with us and they agreed. We got tickets but didn't tell my parents anything about them. When we got to the arena they asked where we were sitting but we still didn't tell them anything. Here is why:

Our tickets were up close and personal. My parents were very surprised. It was really neat sitting so close to the action. Another cool things was only being a few seats away from Gail Miller, the Jazz owner (she is the gray haired woman on the right of the picture):

All night long we could hear the players talking to each other. They are so big and Al Jefferson would always just hold the ball out with one hand; it looked like a baseball in his hands. Devin Harris had a great game that night and hit some clutch 3 point shots. It was a fun game to attend because it was a close game. The Jazz ended up winning which always makes going to a game that much better.
