Vacation to Utah Feb 14-27, 2009

Sorry we are so slow at updating out blog, but here is the info about our trip to Utah and the pictures as well.... We were able to go up to Utah to visit Gloria's family and some close friends. We really enjoyed our time with everyone....even though we didn't get to see everyone we wanted to. Maybe next time. Gloria even got to have a girl's night with her sisters. Gloria made ribs for her first time...they turned out awesome. We marinaded them in coke all night in 5 gallon buckets. Then cooked them in the crockpot all day with bbq sauce. Last but not least we put them in the oven for extra crispness. We even got to enjoy the snow....by shoveling the drive way. David got to work at the barn with the horses for the first time. Thanks Hans for putting us to work!!! :) We also got to enjoy a lot of time with both of Gloria's parents. By the end of the two weeks we were definately ready to be home and sleep in our own beds.

David's Promotion

David was promoted from Private First Class to Specialist back on January 8, 2009. His brother, Alan, was able to come up here to promote him. It was a really cool experience.

Greatest Tom Cruise movie ever

Last night we went to see the movie Valkrye. It is a movie about a failed attempt on the life of Adolf Hitler during Wolrd War two. Those who have talked to me about movies, know just how much I despise Tom Cruise. I can't even describe how painful it is for me to sit through a Tom Cruise movie. I'm also not a fan of him as a person. Anyone who expects their wife to stay silent while giving birth, deserves to be shot. Which brings me to why I think Valkrye is the best Tom Cruise movie ever. There are some stories that you just know rooting for the good guys is a dumb idea. Movies like Titanic, and Pearl Harbor come to mind. Sure we want them to win, but lets be realistic. The past is what it is. Adolf Hitler was not blown up, The Titanic did sink, and the attack at Pearl Harbor was serious blow to the United States. Making movies about history is fine, as long as they are mostly acurate. Especially when dealing with real wars. Therefore I can say that for the sake of historical accuracy, as well as my personal pleasure, I was happy to see Tom Cruise killed at the end of the movie. I only wish they would have got him before he squeezed out one last crappy line. Alas, not every thing goes according to our wishes, as his character discovered. If only they had done the same in the movie Pearl Harbor. If they had I could have called this post the best Tom Cruise and Ben Afleck movies ever made. Thats what I think, peace out. David

Operation Bun in the Oven

Yesterday we took Flower Pot to be x-rayed to see if she was pregnant. We could've used a home pregnancy test, but who wants to do that.....not me!!!! As you can see in the x-ray there are NO puppies!!! Therefore it was a fake pregnancy. FLOWER POT!!!! YOU HUSSIE!!!!

We are very relieved that she is not pregnant. HOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!
