Memory Lane

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

This last couple of weeks has really been a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. First of all, my little sister Alison (shes 16) got some free movie tickets awhile ago and has been begging me to go to a movie with her. We ended up going to the movie Wall-E. There were some parts of the movie that were boring, but we made up for it by all of the fun we had. Its hard getting used to not seeing my family everyday, but its still so much fun when we do spend time together.

Yesterday I ended up going to the mall with my sisters and mom, and I found a way cute dress in sears for $4! I was so proud of myself! It was really fun to go shopping together and spend time together.

Finally, at the end of the day yesterday, one of my really good friends from high school called me and said that she was coming up from Boise. She asked me to go to lunch with her and spend some time doing whatever the next day. We got together this afternoon and it was a blast! Jacy locked her keys in the car, but other than that it was really fun. Their family owns a house right on the river, so we got in their boat and went up and down the river all afternoon. It was fun to be able to just relax and catch up with her. I miss her so much and wish that she could live a little closer!

Tomorrow is going to be filled with a lot of excitement. Destrys boss bougt us a whitewater rafting trip in montana. Im a little sad about missing the parade, and a little nervous, but im also excited for a new adventure! Im also getting ready for my 5k run tomorrow! I am a little nervous, but i have been running 4 1/2 miles everyday, so hopefully that will be enough to make it through the 3 mile run tomorrow! Wish me luck!~

Were still here!

Hey everybody. How are things going. The Orr clan is doing good. Were just staying busy. Liz is all done with summer school so she's keeping busy between cleaning the house, excersising, and chasing the dogs around. Work for me is really busy. It seems like we stay busy, enough to be home at six but not these past few weeks. It seems like we've just got dumped on. We have about 5 houses we have to trim out, about 3 spud cellars, and a bunch of other just little jobs here and there but everybody wants them done now. We also bought a new pickup. Here's a picture of it. So anyway were selling our Colorado. It's a 2005. Four door, silver, and with 74,200 miles. Were selling it for $17,000 obo so if anybody is interested you can call me at 317-0364. Anyway now that we got our sells pitch out of the way. I hope everybody is doing good and we hope to see everybody around. See ya.

He's home!

Well i decided after looking at everyones blog that we need to start taking more pictures and actually carrying a camera around with us!
Destry had to leave for Montana to go wire a spud pit on sunday. I know that a lot of wives go without their husbands for a lot longer than I did (he got back tuesday night) but it was my first time being alone without him, so needless to say I missed him a lot. There are a lot of times that i dont realize how much i take him being able to be home for granted! He is my best friend, and im definately glad that he can at least be home some of the time.
Well, i guess for me, I can say that summer is officially here after 11 o'clock tomorrow. Summer school ends and I have six weeks of nothing to do. I am so excited to have that extra time to maybe do some fun things and work around the house. I feel kind of bad about going that long without working, but i definately dont want to go back for another summer of missing all of the 4th and 24th of july events and slaving over a hot grill at big j's. I figured that 5 years was long enough to slave away for pretty much nothing :) Im not really sure about what im going to do as far as fun goes, but we'll see.

Camping

Well this last Friday night when i got off work, Liz and I decided we would go camping. Its something that we had decided to do when we got married and that we would always do with our kids someday. Well since we don't have any kids yet( and not for a while), we took our two furry kids. We went out to Kilgore and stayed at Paul and Ellen Romrells place. I worked for them all through high school and that and they have a huge lawn and a well out there so it was cheating just a little but ok for our first campout for the year. We cooked some hamburgers on our little grill we got for our wedding, and then we went to sleep, but not for long. We decided to put Bailey and Rugar in the back of the pickup and they could sleep there. Well Bailey made it a thing to whine all night long. We didn't hear a peep out of Rugar. Maybe its just a female thing. Just kidding. We probably only got a few hours of sleep. When we woke up we went fishing again. Liz was such a good sport about fishing again. We thought it was cute while she sat there, Rugar thought he'd just rest his head on Liz's lap. We caught nine fish and then came home and had all the fun part of coming back from a campout and cleaning stuff up. It was the first time Liz had ever been camping and I think she really enjoyed it. She's such a good sport to try something new. I love her and know that she will be an awesome mother someday. Anyway hope everybody is doing good. C ya.

It Works!!!!!

Okay so first of all I want everyone to know that im not usually that big of a baby about things, but when it comes to my fears, its embarassing to say, but it has always been FISH!!! (and flying in an airplane). I remember being as little as 6 years old sitting on the bank fishing with my grandpa and praying that i wouldnt catch a fish. I dont know what it is about fish, but they creep me out. Most people have a fear of snakes or spiders, but those havent ever bothered me. I think it has something to do with the texture of a fish or the way it moves...i dont know. Destry should be proud of me because that was the first fish i had ever caught(heavanly father didnt answer my prayers this time) and i touched the dang things! haha
This week has really been a happy one for me. I went in to the doctor and got all of my tests done and he put me on some medication to see if it would help the pin and needles sensation i get in my legs and back when i run. I was a little nervous about it at first, but i decided to be brave and try to run on wednesday. For the first time in awhile, I was able to run without any pain. (I made it to the salem highway and back!!!) I also ran on thursday and friday without any pain.That is a huge thing for me and i am so happy to be able to start getting back to somewhat of my normal self. I know that its always going to be something i will battle with my back, but knowing that i can start doing things like that without hurting as bad is such a blessing.
Im really excited that the weather has been so warm! I hope that it can stay a little nicer, but i also hope that we can have enough moisture for the farmers. My dad showed me the prices of his fertilizer and weed killer for the grain today and i about died!!! Its so expensive! I really hope that dad can get a good crop this year, he works so hard at it, and hasnt been paid of for his hard work in a long time.
I hope that everything is going good with everyone!

Fishing

Well it's been another week. I thought i would write this time so we can get the stories right. Liz sometimes streches the stories sometimes. Ha Ha! Sunday night after we had went to both of our families for fathers day, we decided to go out to Kilgore and go do some fishing. We left the house at about 6:00. We got out there at about 7:15. Now just to let everybody know right now, most people have a fear of snakes or spiders. Liz's fear is FISH. She can't even look at the huge Halibut in Sportsmans Warehouse, but she wanted to go. We took our two kids with us, (our dogs). We got to the creek and baited our hooks. My first cast into the creek and I had a fish on. Pulled it out Liz said that didn't take long. She wanted to try so i got her pole ready and showed her how to cast it out into the creek and to set the hook. Well within two minutes she had a fish on. She pulled it out of the water and started screaming I got a fish. It was a really nice fish so i yelled get it onto the bank just as it came off the line. A little bit later she was finnaly getting the guts to touch them and even put them on the line. I caught one and as she was bending over to put it on the stick I dangled it behind her and yelled hun. She turned around and jumped back when she seen that fish flipping in her face. I got called a few bad words but that was it. Anyway we ended up catching 11 fish, 12 if liz wouldn't have let the big one go. We left at 9:00 and came home. Then her mean husband told her she had to clean a fish. She winned cause the little teeth in the fishes mouth was poking her finger. It was pretty funny.

Anyway, that was all of our fun and excitment for the weekend. Hope everybody has a good week and talk to you all soon.
