24th of July

This year for the 24th of July we went to the Bee's game with our friends Kelly and Jon and their parents, Amy and Brad and their two little kids Rylan and Shaylee. We had a really good time even though the Bee's didn't end up playing their game. I guess the other team was sick so they didn't show up, and the game that we ended up watching was two high school allstar teams. It was really fun, and the fireworks at the end were great. Thanks Amy for coming up with such a great idea.

Goodbye Jetta, Hello Legacy!

I bought a new car last night. I have been tired of my Jetta for a few years, and I found a 2007 Black Subaru Legacy 2.5L that I fell in love with. I got a smokin' deal on it, and I am very excited to have a newer car! It only has 20,000 miles on it, and it is in really good condition!

4th of July

We had a really busy 4th of July this year. We started the day of by visiting Matt's grandpa. He is 90 something years old, and still lives alone. He is a survivor! We helped him out by weeding his garden and cleaning up his yard. After about 4 hours of weeding, we visited Matt's dad for an hour or so, then we drove to his mom's house. It was nice to make the rounds on the Goodwin/Nielsen side.
After all of the visiting of Matt's family we drove up to my mom and dad's house. My mom and dad were recently in a motorcycle accident, and my mom tore her rotator cuff and just had surgery on it. She did not seem like herself, but I think my mom appreciated having us visit her for a few hours.

After visiting everyone, Matt and I met up with some friends at the Sandy City 4th of July festival. We got there just in time to find a great spot on the grass and get ourselves ready to see the fireworks.

I took some great pictures of the fireworks, but something happened to my camera when I was downloading the pictures to my computer and I lost all the pictures. Oh well....better luck next year.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day!! Thank you everyone that makes our freedom possible.
