Joe

I love my dog Joe which is funny because I don’t remember ever having much of an attachment to our pets. I guess it’s because growing up I never really had the responsibility for our pets and I never got attached, I just thought it was me not being a pet person. Since we moved into our place and it being so cold outside Joe gets to be inside. I have been getting really close to Joe lately. He’s such a good dog! He’ll always ask me to go to the bathroom. He loves to follow me around which is nice to have that kind of loyalty in a pet. He knows how to hug. Most of the time he ends up just laying me by me. He loves to curl up in a little ball which is so cute. He also has the cutest puppy dog eyes and he never barks. Here are some cute pictures of him. DSCN0864 DSCN0882 DSCN0887

The Hockey Game

So the other night Jake’s friend called up and asked if he wanted to go to Hockey game and that he had tickets for one of the luxury suites. Jake was all excited and said “Yeah me and Rachael would love to go.” Well as it turns out tickets meant him and Jake, not me. I was ok with that I thought that it would be fun for Jake to have a guys night. I guess Jeff felt bad and got me a ticket as well so us three went to the game. This was my first Hockey game and I must say that it was really fun! The suite was nice and it was a decent view. For being a low scoring sport it was surprisingly fun to watch. There were a bunch of body slams and one fight. Although I don’t understand why the sport of Hockey has more fights then other sports. Is it because the penalty is much lower (5 minutes penalty for fighting, 7 for instigating) or just that the people that play hockey have more aggression? Oh well, I can’t deny that the fighting did make the game a little bit more interesting. Most of the game was tied one to one. Then Utah got a goal near the end of 2 period and kept the lead for awhile. Then about middle of the third period Las Vegas Renegades got a goal and it stayed tied up to the last minute where the Renegades scored again with 32 seconds left on the clock. Sadly the Utah Grizzlies lost. I still enjoyed watching it. Although I did learn that the Hockey team has cheerleader. The Grizzly Ice Girls or something like that. I wasn’t impressed with their dancing, worst then the Jazz dancers. When they were announced as the Ice girls my thoughts were it would be cooler if they were Ice Skaters and maybe knew a little bit of figure skating, that would be cooler ice girls.

New Years

I can’t believe how long it has been since I have blogged. I know that New Years was almost two months ago, but I do want to remember New Years as it was a really fun one for me. It was not planned but we had a fun little group. Alicia and Chris were supposed to home in Grand Forks, but due to weather their flight was cancelled twice so they ended up spending New Years at my mom’s. Me and Jake and Rashelle and Jason all hung out too. We played games most of the night. It started out with the guys playing games upstairs and the girls played the wii downstairs. Then Rashelle and Mom mad some of the minute to win it games and we played those for awhile. At the New Year we took some old Fireworks and set them off. It was fun, but mom was worried, for good reason, they were illegal. It was freezing there was a ton of smoke but it was fun to watch. Here are some pictures of us lighting the fireworks
