San Antonio

I went to San Antonio last week to visit my sister Suzanne and her family. I had a grand time!

I visited the Alamo. I forgot to check out the basement though.

This is me in front of a fun tree. Check out all the possible swing branches. This was in the sideyard of the Alamo.

I visited a mission...

...and the famous San Antonio River Walk...

...and Sea World. I'll betcha didn't know San Antonio had a fantastic Sea World.

The most fun I had, however, was just hanging out with my girls. Annie, Abi, and Elena were TOO PRECIOUS!

I said, "Don't tase me, bro!"

Preston was tased (or tasered) again. This time, he just casually slipped it into our after-work conversation that went something like this:

Kristin: "How was your day?"
Preston: "Good. How was your day?"
K: "It was sooo busy. This guy asked me the craziest question today. He said...[insert funny work story]"
P: "Ha ha ha. That's so funny. What else happened?"
K: "Not much. So, did you learn anything good?"
P: "Yeah."
K: "Like what?"
P: "Oh, it was just some refresher training with some other officers. "
K: "Oh. What did they teach you?"
P: "We just went over facility safety and some inmate stuff, I got tased again, and I had some of that garden salad."
K: "Oh, that's nice."

5 minutes later...

K: "Wait! Did you say you were tased again?!?!"
P: "Yeah. Why?"
K: "WHY!?!? Why did you have to do it again?"
P: "I have to do it once for each department. It wasn't that bad."

So there you have it. The more you're tased, the easier it gets. That's good news!

Summary

I don't have any pictures to post, so don't get too excited. I lost my camera charger, so I didn't take any pictures on any of our adventures this month. On a positive note, I do know where the computer/camera connection cord is. Anywho, here's what has happened in the past two weeks. We went to Bountiful/Kaysville to my cousin Melanie's wedding last Saturday, and that was a total blast. It was fun because I love weddings, but it was especially fun because my sister Suzanne came all the way from Texas to join in the festivities. We stayed with the wonderfully hospitable Standings while in SLC, and that was a bonus. (I wish I could have stayed longer too, Mrs. Standing.) The morning after the wedding we attended Music and the Spoken Word, which was an additional bonus (because the MTC is my favorite musical group second only to the delightful King's Singers). On our way home we saw Preston's brother Nelson in Provo (so the week wasn't entirely Pearson dominated). We drove from SLC to LV on Sunday, where we spent our final night at our condo. That's right...FINAL! We were a tad bit sad, but we're so grateful to have A- and K-Bed living there now. They have saved us from our prolonged two-mortgage crisis. Yay! In closing I will say that Preston starts his new job tomorrow. Good times!
