ALASTAIR + LALEINIA

Well first of all it was nice to be back on the road with a chance of seeing something interesting together. What made it even better was being in our new car! We are getting rid of Burberry (the Land Rover) because we can't justify the lack of fuel economy any longer. We'll buy another Land Rover some day when we have tons of money! Back on the road. Anyways, we were smiling all the way there because we knew we were getting way better miles per gallon in the new car (which is yet to be named) than the old one. Living in Rexburg we are so close to Yellowstone. We really should go more often! First time in Montana together. We drove through and stopped quickly in West Yellowstone, a small town in the south-west corner of Montana, from which we entered Yellowstone national park. Good job we brought our own food since it was about $20 for food in that town! Alastair's first trip to Yellowstone  Alastair had never been to Yellowstone, which is one of Lalein...

Denver, CO It was time for another Dragons road trip, the last and most adventurous of the season. School and work were missed on Friday as we hit the road at 6am from Rexburg, ID to Colorado springs.  In this car all weekend We got there about 90 minutes before the 8pm kick-off, and had a really good game. After 90 minutes the score was 1-1, and so we went to a shoot out. Shoot-out Everyone of the five Dragons players scored their penalty, and the game was won as one of the Colorado Springs players hit the bar with his. Get in! I'm going to pretend that we ended on a high and didn't get destroyed the following afternoon by the University of Wyoming in Laramie, WY. Madison Dragons 2011 Because of Lain having to work in Rexburg, this was the first night that we had been apart since we got married! We don't want too many more of those!

Well here it is, the first six months of marriage in photos! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! April 16th 2011 - October 16th 2011

Well we have been married for six whole months now, and so here is an update of where we have been together! We know it is pretty weak, but hopefully six months or a year from now it might just be a little better! We need to pick up the pace!

Hopefully one of the best purchases of the semester was the Starving Student card, basically a huge fold out coupon with deals from almost all of the decent businesses in Rexburg and the surrounding area. We decided to buy one and see how much money we would save after to the $25 that we "invested" in buying it. (Of course we know that perhaps by having the card we might be persuaded to eat out more than we would otherwise, but it is a decent experiment anyway.) Well, so far we have got a free dominos pizza and a free burger from Sammy's. So, here are the numbers... (Price of Pizza + Price of Burger) - Price of Card = Savings (6.00 + 5.29) - 25.00 = - $13.71 So as of right now, buying the card has lost us money, but the more we use it, the more we will benefit from it, and eventually it will be saving us money (or so we hope!). Anyway, we decided to wear the same clothes to go and eat at Sammy's. Blue hoodies, black sweatpants and Timberlands. We though...

The 2nd Annual Zombie Apocalypse, Rexburg ID. It is Saturday the 8th of October, 2011, and you know what that means. Time for the Zombie Apocalypse. Literally hundreds of weird BYU-Idaho students and odd members of the local Rexburg community got together in the Walgreens parking lot dressed as Zombies, and then walked down Main St. You may be asking why, and so are we. As far as we know, they didn't raise any money for charity, it wasn't a political protest, it wasn't even someone's school project. The only real reason we could find on the walk's facebook page was "To infect the populace of Rexburg."Odd. Well we walked around Walgreens, started walking down Main with the group of groaning, limping, degree-seeking adults, and then called it a day.
