Llama Fest

On Saturday; Alex, Aubs, Brady, Travis and I went to Llama fest. I had never been there and had no idea what to expect. It was super freaking hot, and it only had about an hour of interest for me, but that hour was pretty good. It was at the Harri Krishna Temple down in Spanish Fork.
The temple looked really cool, both inside and out.
We of course went and saw the llamas, but they also had some birds, and some tiny cows. The cows in my opinion felt better then the llamas. All in all it's not a bad festival, and is probably worth 3 bucks just to check the place out.

Birthday Celebration

It was Alex's birthday this last Saturday, but she was up at her parent's house so we couldn't celebrate it together until Monday. I however believe I made it up to her.

I got her a present that she really wanted, and would keep her entertained. It's a long board (a big skateboard), and a helmet (even though she doesn't wear it). I figured she needed flowers for her birthday. I knew her favorites were lilies and roses. I got both, now I'm not what you would call a flower person, so I had a little help picking out the arrangement. I did however pick out the vase that went with it. The whole ensemble was a big hit, I do believe her roommates were very jealous of that little bit. Then I took her out to her favorite restaurant, Los Hermanos. It's always good there, and wasn't busy. The next stage of my plan was to go to Comedy Sports and have this night be like our very first date way back in September, but Comedy Sports isn't open on Monday. So I gave her the options of a carnival, mini golf, or going to a dinosaur museum. She wanted to check out the museum, another back fire as it turns out the museum closed at 8 and we got there at like 8:10, bummer! We ended up going to an arcade, and then got some ice cream and watched a movie at my apartment. I had a lot of fun, and I'm pretty sure she did to. Isn't that what's supposed to happen when you celebrate your birthday?

Academy Update

I am done!!!

I finished my PT and my Certification test this past Monday. It feels so good to be done. The written test had me a little worried for a bit. I originally got an 87% on it which was the second highest in the class, with about half the class failing. The next day the Captain told us that up to 32 questions were being thrown out because they were messed up or had the wrong answers to them, and if after the test was re-scored and we failed we would have to retake it again! Oh my that got my goat pretty bad. But thankfully after the test was scored again I ended up with a 93%, which just so happens to be tied with the highest score in the class. I'll be ok with that.

The PT was a cake as I expected it to be.
Standing Jump - 22 1/2 inches
Push ups - 32
Sit ups in a minute - 46
300 meter sprint - 50 seconds
1 1/2 mile run - 12:46 minutes

I feel really good about all that. Now all I have to do is find a job.

A New Game, Well Kind Of.

Alex and I started another little competition. We are seeing if I can gain 20lbs before she can lose 20lbs. The loser has to pay to get the winner a massage. Then after we meet that goal, we see who can go the farthest gaining/losing by the end of the summer. We haven't figured what the reward will be for that, but I'm sure it'll be something good.

I'm fairly confident I will win. I just need to stay on top of my eating, and weight lifting. It's not like I'll have school anymore to throw me for a loop. :)
