Sorry!
It appears my link for my last post didn't work out quite like I had planned - Sorry!
Here's some pictures from Wednesday - they're all pretty self explanatory I think!

Republican Convention
I went to the Republican Convention tonight and had a GREAT time. We have a good friend who's been working for the convention all year and she got us some passes to get in. I have to be at work at 7:30 so no time for a real post, but I did upload the photos to shutterfly for you all to see! Sorry I took so many - I just got a new camera (Happy Birthday to ME!) and was trying to figure out how to work it.
(The McCain is cardboard but Carly Fiorina is real! We ran in to her in the call and had to get a picture. We didn't have the flash on (Dang new camera and me not knowing how to work it yet).

Hopefully this works and I promise more details will come - I might get to go back tomorrow!!

First Day of School!
Today was our first day of school!
I had Philosophy 1003 - Into to Ethics first. I actually went to the wrong class and got the first part of a Linguistics 4009 class before I realized that was definitely not where I wanted to be. My class is a big class taught by a grad student who seems like he'll be a lot of fun, but maybe not the best teacher. We'll see. It seems like a great topic, so I'm excited.
Next I had Math 2374 - Multivariable Calculus. It was the lab so we worked on computers and I got my first introduction to Mathematica. I'm pretty scared for this class since I struggled so much in my previous calculus classes, but I know there are a few freshmen in my class, so that does make me feel a little better.
Calder had Accounting & Finance and Tax. He's not much for details, but apparently the classes are fine - maybe more info later?
(I won't tell you what I had to do to get him to take this picture)

End of Summer Celebrations!
We took these past few weeks to have tons of fun before school starts up September 2. Both of our jobs have offered to let us stay part-time during the school year, so we're not going to have much time to do the things that we'd like to when that starts up.
Earlier this month Calder's parents came to visit for a week. We had a great time! Some of the highlights included seeing Mama Mia (Which I LOVED and am so glad we went - Calder never would have taken me otherwise), a delicious birthday dinner at Zelo (Thanks Grandma Hyer!!), a bus tour of the twin cities, and some time at the Mall of America. Ric also helped Calder install some lights in our living room so we can read at night now (Thanks!). I didn't take many picures, but here's some at Minnehaha Falls, a stop on the bus tour.
We had such a fun time with them!
A few days after they left, I had my company's tickets to a Twins game and we invited our friends Jason and Allison to come with us. We won, but it was a pretty fast game. Of course, the most important part of the baseball game is the ballpark food! Calder got a HUGE hotdog and I walked halfway across the dome to find some delicious nachos, which didn't disappoint. I didn't get the cracker jacks I was so looking forward to because the game was almost over by the time I finished the nachos :(
Early the next morning we left for Louisiana! The night before our wedding, we ate at a Mexican restaurant called Los Cucos and it was the best food we'd ever eaten, no lie. So we've really been looking forward to going back, which we did first thing after flying into Houston, and it didn't disappoint! It was so good we wen't back again when we were flying back home. Excuse the terrible picture of me.
Of course we went to the Creole Nature Trail hoping to see some gators. We saw some babies in the beginning, but nothing else the whole way around. When we got back around to the babies, we attempted to lure out the mama with a Fiber One bar. We never did see the mama gator, but we did lure out some more babies!
And of course we ate at Steamboat Bills!
And we went fishing! I haven't gone fishing in years, but luckily I have a great dad that would put the worms on my hook and take off the fish (I caught 10 but they were all tiny). Most of these pictures were on my mom's camera so I don't have them :(
We did a lot of other fun things - but that's everything I have pictures for!

And We're Off!
Yikes! I can't believe how fast time flies - summer is almost over! We've had a pretty busy couple of weeks. Calder's parents were visiting from Vegas all last week and we had a great time! I'll hit more on that later...
In 5 hours our flight leaves for home! I definitely wasn't planning to stay up all night tonight, but I just can't stand to go on vacation with a dirty house, and I didn't even start packing until after 10! We don't have a lot planned to do while we're there but it'll be fun to see my family.
We're still alive and expect a good long blog when we get home!

My Turn!
1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory or two that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see what memories people have of you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. I would love to hear what you guys remember about me!

A few days ago I made Calder come with me to feed the ducks and geese. One thing that really shocked me when we moved here was the ridiculous number of geese EVERYWHERE! At the pond we went to I counted about 30 geese and 20 ducks. We had some moldy bagels, and it sounded fun.
Did you know that gesse hiss? Yeah, like a snake. They'd stand right in front of me and hiss until I gave them food.
I tried to get a picture of one hissing, this is as good as I could do.
I got brave and started letting them eat out of my hand. Notice the ugly babies - they used to be so cute!
We went to the farmer's market this morning (after I drug Calder around to garage sales!) and got a little excited about zucchini! It was $3 for a basket or $5 for two - of course we think - we might as well get two! We got home and realized we had 10 huge zucchinis! We broiled one for lunch and I have some zucchini bread baking right now - and no idea what to do with the other 8!
Poor guy - didn't get to sleep in this morning. Most garage sales here don't start until 9, but since I didn't know, I made us leave at 8 at the LATEST and figured we'd miss all the good stuff. We didn't run into any really good goes, but found this one that was stelling their house and most everything in it. They had tons of really neat antique things, typewriters, an old radio, a dictophone, old singer sewing maching, organ, and something they called a vacuum cleaner but was pre-electricity. Oh, and they had a really old baby stroller that I thought was really neat. Calder was really into the typewriters, so we bought one.

I got called out today on not having posted on the 4th of July. Sorry to all! I didn't because, well, I was so disappointed that I forgot to take pictures and figured that nobody would want to read a boring post about what we did with no pictures to go along with it.
Ok, here it goes, July 4th is Calder's birthday - so it was a double whammy for us! I love his birthday because it being a holiday means we'll always get to hang out and do fun things.
Thursday after work we started celebrating right away! Calder's work had some cake so I left a little early and went down there for that. They got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen - yum! We walked around downtown for awhile and then went to Joseph A. Banks to buy Calder another suit. We also went and bought a cake.
Friday we started the day by going to our ward breakfast. It was fun to get up and eat good food that someone else cooked, but we were the only younger people there. Our ward has a ton of young couples, but I guess none of them felt the need to wake up at 8:00 and eat breakfast at a park. We vegged out most of the day and had dinner with our friends the Cooks. Later we walked with them down to Calder's office where we met up with some other friends and watched the fireworks from the tip top of one of the downtown buildings. It was a great day - I love holidays and weekends and birthdays!
All in all, it was a pretty uneventful weekend, Calder likes to just hang out and watch TV and read stuff on the internet. Since it was his day, that's exactly what we did! Holy cow - I can't believe he's 26 - that's almost 30 - YIKES!
