Things to See at Sea World

Last week Landon and I went to Sea World! We are trying to fit all of the different things to see into our last couple of weeks here. We got to go to Sea World for free because he is in the military! So thanks Anheuser Busch, much appreciated! 

There were lots of really cool things to see. This dolphin swam up right by my hand. 

Landon loved the sharks. He really wanted us to be there when they did their feedings. Unfortunately for him, we missed it. 

The shows were amazing, here's a picture from our favorite.  The performers could do amazing things on skis. It was  fun to watch. We were both so jealous of their career. Which is humorous, because I have never been on a pair of skis in my life. 

And for good measure... here's a picture of us together. Unfortunately we are both squinting within an inch of our lives because it was so bright and sunny that day! We went to the water park for a little while to cool down, but didn't stay long because we did not want to miss any of the animal shows. 
Unfortunately, I did not get a good picture of Shamu's show. That was incredible. I can't believe people are able to train whales like that. This was the last big place that we wanted to see before we leave. We are on the downhill slope now for sure. Only one week of selling left, let's all hope Landon hits his goal in that amount of time! 

Generation X

Game night: A particular night set aside for friendly competition; consisting of great games and great friends. 

Well, what then are you to do when you are a couple thousand miles away from your favorite game night companions?! 

 1608: Deal with it... or walk

1715: Ride a horse, or maybe if we were wealthy, ride in a carriage!

1839: Take the train! 

1847: Catch the horse drawn-bus...

1871: Drive a steam car

1928: Run to the airport...don't miss your commercial flight!

1994: Drive your own car.  Gas- $1.12/gallon

2008: Forget this travel business.... grab your computer! 

Saturday night we had a virtual game night with our best friends, Cade and Andi. It was such a hoot! (do people still say 'hoot'?) We played the Newlywed game via ichat. I was surprised at how well it actually turned out. Connecting was super easy and we could see and hear each other really clearly! 

We all grabbed treats and drinks and just settled in front of the laptop. 

I am ashamed to admit, that they beat us by 5 points! The end question was, " When your mate has a date to meet someone, is she usually early, on time or late?" I said that I am usually early and Landon said "on time". Oh well, it was a super close race! 

I just want to say that I am so grateful for Cade and Andi. It's really hard to find couple friends because it's tough matching 4 personalities, but they are amazing and we always have such a blast with them! Thanks for helping us reconnect with the outside world, even if we were still at home! We love you...

..She's Arrived!...

Yoohoo! She has finally arrived! We were so excited to see each other. As I'm sure anyone in the airport would testify. Picture this.... thrown luggage, thrown purse, running in slow motion with open arms. You know, something to that effect. We took her to dinner at Chacho's on our way home from the airport (see previous post) and it was hilarious. It was karaoke night and I will just say there were some interesting candidates. Then to top it off, when we finally found our table the guy next to us was so drunk he urinated himself and couldn't find his car. (Which I am appalled to say, he finally found and drove away.) 

That night we all had a camp-out in the living room. Landon dragged our mattress out and we all slept out here together and watched Friends. 

When I asked Carlie what she wanted to do her first day here, she of course wanted to go shopping and spend some of her hard earned money on some major wardrobe. We went to the North Star Mall. The mall is huge and we were there for like 5 1/2 hours. Needless to say, we both left with way too many purchases, but it was so fun! I have not gone shopping for a long time. The highlight of the day was when Carlie went to this salon called Toni & Guy. I don't know if you have heard of it but it is super modern and trendy. Every stylist had purple, pink, green, yellow or no hair. It was hilarious. We were a tad out of place but Carlie ended up with an amazing hair cut! It's so pretty! When she walks it's like va va voom Pantene commercial style. 

Carlie and Robert before he performed his magic. 

Ta da! The finished look! He put in a ton of layers and gave her a heavy bang, it suits her really well. I can't wait to go back there and get my ugly hair cut! 

Here we are with all of our purchases. Pretty ridiculous. We found some great deals though and should both be heading back to school in style. I look forward to four more days with Carlie. She really is one of my best friends and we have so much fun together. We miss you Cort, wish you could be here with us too. 

Charlie G. Clark

Hey Clark fam, 

Today i was thinking about Uncle Charlie and I found this really sweet article about him. I thought you might like to see it.  I'm sure you all agree when I say he is dearly missed. I feel like there are two "Charlie's", the one who dons a santa cap and cuddles with the nieces and nephews, who wears too short of shorts and smells like fish, who started "the good grade club" and took me to my first steak dinner (at the horseshoe of course), the one I remember and loved dearly. Since his passing I have become so proud of the less familiar Charlie. The one who wears a suit and works in the capitol! Who touched hundreds of people's lives... Happy birthday Charlie, we miss you. 

                  

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, Tomorrow.....

Carl comes tomorrow! Yea! I cannot wait to see a familiar face. I miss my family so much lately. Have a safe trip missy, I am so excited to see you! 

...TuTu Cute...

So lately I have been getting SUPER bored out here in Texas and decided that I need a project. So... I decided to make tutus for my nieces. Didn't they turn out so cute? This craft should take me at least a couple more days. Then what... any ideas?
