My Deep Sea Fisherman

Well, this blog has nothing to do with me, but I just really liked the pictures. My brother Tyson invited all of the boys in the Park family to go deep see fishing, just outside of San Diego. Unfortunately Brian was unable to go, but the boys were nice enough to send us the pics from their trip.
I really have a great family. We have our ups and downs. We fight and argue, but we really love each other. I know Tyson, Shane, and Dad all needed a vacation and this was a great way for them to spend a little time with each other. I am actually jealous that I didn't get to go. Oh Well.

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Rodney Rupp

Well, it was an eventful weekend for the Rupp and Routh Families. We had a fantastic time attending the wedding of Rodney (Brian's Brother) and Kami.
They got married at Higgins Point, a beautiful park that overlooks Lake Coeur d'Alene. We ate yummy food and cake, laughed a lot, and even danced a little. It was a really great weekend.

The new and improved Mr.& Mrs. Rupp



The Rupp Boys

Mama's Baby Boy



So, what does the future hold for the new Mr. and Mrs. Rupp? Well, for the next two weeks they will be apart, but then after that they are moving to Pullman. We couldn't be more excited. Brian has always wanted to live closer to Rod, and I am super excited to have Kami around. It has become aware to us that the Rupps, when in each others company, have a tendancy to ignore their significant others. So now Kami and I will have someone to hang out with while our hubbies do what ever they do.
Congratulations Rod and Kami- We love you!

Good bye, Farwell...

The cool thing about living in a college town is that their are always new people to meet who are in the same age group. The cruddy thing about living in a college town is that all those cool, new, friends, you make will eventually move away. And in our case...after eight years of living in a college town, we have had a lot of friends move away.
Mike and Jen Barnes, are quite possibly some of the funniest people we know. They are from the OC (Orange County), and both love to experience life to the fullest. We have had so much fun experiencing the Palouse with them. When Jen first moved to Pullman she hated it. When they decided that it was time to leave, she begged Mike to stay. Sadly she didn't get her way, but while they were here we made a lot of good memories. We want to wish them the best of luck in Connecticut, and hope that they will some day come back to "God's Country". Thanks for all of the fun memories. We love you guys!!

Just Like Old Times

Last week I had the chance to meet up with some of my old college cronies. We had such a good time. We all brought pics of the good old days and remeniced. It was so fun. I have some really great memories of those girls. To Tara, Jen, and Shannon- thanks for the memories. It was truely one of my favorite times of my life.

Let the Good Times Roll

Alright, i'm jumpin on the bandwagon...Tara, gave me some inspiration. Here's a little way for all of us to remember the good old days.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory 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 how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

So, have fun, and thanks again Tara for sharing your idea with me.

The Rupp Family Reunion

So we recently returned from the ever-famous RUPP FAMILY REUNION. The Rupps compare this event to the Olympics...Well, it wasn't exactly the Olympics, but it was tons of fun. Brian's Grandparents have 8 children, over 65 grandchildren, and who knows how many great-grandchildren. Approximately 160 of us gathered at Lake Cascade to celebrate the Dale and Dorothy Rupp Family. We camped, ate really well, had a volleyball tournament, hung out, and the two most favorites-Shooting the breeze and water-skiing. I got to meet cousins I'd never met before...and was basically officially welcomed to the Rupp clan, after 3 years. Overall, it was a blast. We can't wait to do it all again in two years.
Well, enjoy the slide show. Most of them are of Brian. Basically, I was the photographer, and I hadn't showered for three days. So I was looking pretty hot, NOT. Enjoy!

Let Me Explain

This adorable picture....I found it last weekend while we were at Brian's parents' house. Brian loves to tell all of our friends about the hogs he and his brother Rodney raised when they were kids. As the story goes the boys weren't allowed to play on sundays, so instead they would sneak out to the hog barn and ride on the pigs. What a wholesome Sabath Day activity.
