So we had an awesome 8/08/08 party at 8:08. Yes, most people were out watching the opening ceremonies for the Olympics, but we are true partiers. We know that this won't happen again for 100 years! So we had our fun 8/08/08 and invited over some friends. WE had 8-Layer Bean Dip and some Chicken (which usually comes in 8 piece packages ;) you know) and we played some games of 8 and then, of course, we watched the 8th episode of the Office. We really know how to show 8 Spirit!
Well, that was just the beginning of a great week end.
The next day I got to go play airsoft and get shot at by guns that look "military Class" and hurt a lot... I came home with a smile and a line of welts on my back.
Then Chris made me a great dinner and we went to a Hypnotist show at the Salt Lake Fair. WE didn't realize it but this was fast turning into a date.... At the show, one of our newly made friends was on stage and hypnotized. She was hilarious. While everyone else was enjoying thier 5 year old lives again on a rollercoaster 1,000 feet high.. she was curled up in a ball in terror. She also made us proud by covering her eyes when the "island nudist colony" came into view. Theshow was pretty fun, but not as great as the one we know is coming up at the Utah State Fair.
After the show, we walked outside and started hearing booms. We turned around and vuala! A firework show! It was pretty cool so we layed our blankets down and cuddled up to watch them. It was a wonderful date that kinda just happened without us planning it.
Then on Sunday we had the great privelage of hosting Chris' Fmaily. Deb and Payton stayed the night and Russ and Angela, and Jayden and Ashlyn and Cadence all came to Church and stayed over for fun and dinner. It was fun to see them all and play with the kids. Chris and I really enjoy hosting people at our house, so come any time... and we had a lot of fun with everyone over.
So it goes to show what happens when you celebrate 8/08/08. It's like Christmas, when you celebrate it, you get presents, when you don't you don't. WE celebrated 8/08/08 and we had some awesome blessings and fun things happen... I don't even want to imagine life without 8/08/08.... I just can't wait until 9/09/09. We could play
9-Ball!!!!
