Geo-Cashing

We took another adventure only this time it was geo-cashing! We took out our fourwheelers with our trusty GPS and set off to find whatever we could! We decided to start with the farthest geo cash and just work our way back to the car once we found that one. After a fun drive on a really neat trail, we found ourselves on top of this huge mountain that over looks everything it seems. We could even see the freeway that passes through the gorge! It was awesome! Lucky enough for us, the geo cash we were looking for just happen to be right off the edge of the huge drop off on some little overhang that just so happened to be there. So much to my dislike, Brandon and I ventured on out there and we found it. We didn't even fall to our deaths. (which was the best part!) We had a blast going on our "treasure hunts" and though it was a little cold and windy, it turned out to be a very fun adventure!!



This was the huge drop off that we got to hike to the very edge of! Yeah..it was high

Shooting

For the big 3 day weekend we decided to start it off with a day of shooting! We had a "blast" (lame, I know!) It was fun to try out all of Brandon's different guns, since he has about 9 total! I liked shooting the shot gun at the clay pigeons the best, mainly because everytime I fire it kicks me back like 2 feet! haha, it was fun. We had fun shooting at clay pigeons, bottle cans, and whatever misc stuff we could find out there. Good times, good times.

My sexy husband!

This one demonstrates what happened the first time I fired the gun, falling back and screaming!

Then another picture of me after taking a shot, if you look close you can see the shock shoved my glasses off my face!

Ode to Hurricane

I work at a credit union. And until this week, I have been driving from Santa Clara to Hurricane EVERYDAY to go to work (Syd I know you're rolling your eyes right now cause you do the same) It is a long, dull, boring drive. I can only have a conversation with myself for so long before I get sick of me. Then the wonderful, yet sad, day came when I was told those magical words "We're transfering you to St. George" WOOHOO, YES, FANTASTIC!!!! That was my reaction inside and then came the sadness when I realized I would have to leave my dear friends at hurricane (and by dear friends, I mean my co-workers, NOT the members) So to commemorate (spelling?) my time there, I would like to write about my favorite things that happened there.
Sorry this will probably not make any sense to any one but Syd & Lenzi (my 2 most favoritest people!)

Ode to Hurricane

*Ode to the members who yelled at me for asking for their identification so I could verify who they were.
Example: I've had my account here for 30 years why do you need to see my ID?!!!!!! (well sir I haven't worked here for 30 years, nor have I been alive for that long!!!)

*Ode to Shannon, dear Shannon, who's comments to members never failed to embarrass me or made me want to hid under my cubical.
Example: "My you sure have got a lot of gray in your hair now!"
"Sorry I couldn't tell if you were a man or woman so I didn't dare say "sir or ma'am" (True story)

*Ode to Java. Oh Java, how I hate you.

*Ode to TR, who's bluntness to members always left me in shock.
Example: (speaking to a member) "We've always had the slip for you to fill out but people in Hurricane don't do it."

*Ode to the members who felt they were above the rules.
Example: "I need to make a withdrawal" "Ok, for cash back I need you to fill out one of the slips for me" "No I will not!!" "........"

*Ode to the member who always annoyed the crap out of me.
Example: "I need cash out of my account. My account number is the same one as last time, you should have it posted there on your computer." (EVERYTIME!!! No matter how much I tried to avoid asking him his account number he still said that exact same thing!!!)

*Ode to the members who just sent in their checks without any directions written on them. I'm not a mind reader!!!

*Ode to the Hurricane cops, who really have nothing better to do.
exapmle: Dear Syd got pulled over after being followed by a hurricane cop for like 5 miles. The cop declared to her that her license plate cover was just too dark. ???????? She just laughed at him, as would I.

*Another Ode to Shannon, for always questioning EVERYTHING!
Example: "What? Why are you giving him $20.00??! He usually gets $10.00!! Sir, excuse me sir, are you sure you want $20.00 instead of $10.00?!"

Those are just a few of the wonderful things that I will miss out on now. But I probably won't miss them...
