What's new with me??

Sooo....I have not been on in awhile. Over the past couple of weeks, Kris and I have just been enjoying the end of summer vacation. I also celebrated my birthday. Kris took me up to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. We stayed at a "historical" Camp Richardson. By "historical" I mean that yes, it is old, but it also had NO air conditioning, no TV and paper thin walls. Don't get me wrong, we had a fun time. We hung out at the beach and ate some GREAT food! (We barely got any sleep though due to the group next door and Kris woke up at 2 a.m. to "ask" (more like threaten) them to keep it down!) People are so rude and do not follow the rules it seems! Anyway, all in all it was a fun time, so here are some pics of that weekend:

We also had a birthday party with the family here at my house. My sister came down with her sweet family and I got to hang out with my nephew. Kris' mom and sister also came over and Sharon (Kris' mom) made me a DELICIOUS carrot cake. I LOVED all of my presents and look forward to spending them at the mall here shortly! Thanks again family for a Happy Birthday!!

School has started and we have finished up our first week. Kris is back as School Resource Officer and I am back at CCJHS working as a Geography teacher. so far it has been good.....I give the kiddies about a month to show their true colors:)

Sturgis UPDATE

Okay...so it has taken me a couple days (and forever to upload the pics) to recover from our Sturgis trip. There are LOTS more pics, but blogger seems to take forever to get them all organized...I know you understand!

Sturgis trip 2009 was 3,000 miles round trip. I did EVERY mile on the motorcycle...it was LONG. We saw some beautiful country side and managed to make it through the wind, sun and rain. We also came out ALIVE at Sturgis...despite the crazies and the half naked women that needed to put some clothes on! SEE BELOW! It rained 3 out of 4 night on South Dakota, and we were TENT camping. YES ladies and gentleman, this girl tent camped for 10 days:)

See pictures for more info~

Pocatello, ID was the first night...here's me by the homestead:

Then we went to Yellowstone. If you have not seen it you need to...the natural geysers and beautiful scenery is amazing!

Next night was Cody, WY....we were only there one night. They said that it was S'MORES night, but when we got there, NO S'MORES! BOO KOA campgrounds!

So, we carried on to Sturgis~

Yes, that lady is wearing candy pasties and candy panties. She thought she was IT....eww! The pic of the motorcycle tank is from an artist that did paintings/pin striping right there while you wait! Pretty amazing!

Next we saw Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial....this was my favorite day!

Then we went down the "NEEDLES HWY." That was pretty cool...got some good shots of the Black Hills and enjoyed our ride:) Then, once back at camp...I got my S'MORES:)

All in all it was a great time....unforgettable. I don't know that I will do it again, maybe next time it will be a "MAN" trip! But....even after 3,000 miles and tent camping...he still LOVES me!

Sturgis 2009

So...WE JUST GOT BACK FROM OUR STURGIS TRIP!! 3,000 miles on the bike! I will post pics soon...but for now I'm TIRED:)
