A summer of activities with my friends, family, and fellow flute players.

A year and a half of fundraising, 110 students, 15 chaperones, 2 staff members, 5 days, 21 hours sleep, 5 blisters on my feet, and the opportunity of a lifetime! Each chaperone was in charge of 7 or 8 kids and their money. Thank God for cell phones, I don’t know how group trips like this worked without them. We had a great time and brought home lots of good memories. I would highly recommend that any parent given an opportunity like this take it in a heartbeat!

Summer 2004 I was invited to be a “Floozy” in the parade at the Greenriver Rendezvous, it sounded like fun so I what the hell, I said yes. It was a BLAST!! We went bar hoppin’ in our Floozy costumes the night before the parade. (aka: Floozin’)

Baby shower Wyoming style!

We didn’t see any migrating couches this year but Julie and her mom did see a dead bed on the side of the freeway on the way to Sam’s Town. Vegas seems to have a wild furniture problem, maybe they are a protected species.

We consumed much alcohol, ate much food, Rolled many dice, wore out the slots, & shopped ’til we dropped. What a BLAST!!!
