14. Story of the Ring (Part 2)

i've been trying to get a good picture of it but they all turn out pretty blurry (crappy camera's...or crappy operators i suppose...). i was looking through my recently uploaded photos and saw this - a decent picture of the ring! normally i wouldn't post such a flattering picture of myself but.....

i'm hoping i can get some better pictures soon - but until that time here is a glimpse! i'm super happy with it (a bit suprised at how big it turned out but still super happy!)

p.s. if you're new to the blog and want to know the full story of the ring check this out.

13. And They're Off!

yesterday chris and i met bryan, kari, tory and their family at Running Aces Harness Park. we'd never been to the races and didn't quite know what to expect but ended up having a pretty good time :)

chris and kari learned how to place bets (kari was much better at this). i think she ended up actually making a good profit while chris and i - well....we did not...

watching their little boy tory run around was great! he is super adorable! (baby fever is coming back......) all in all it was just great to see them. i didn't get a chance to know them very well before they moved out to utah and now i wish they lived a bit closer. guess that just means that chris and i'll will have to plan a vacation sometime soon...after the wedding...and after the honeymoon..and after we have vacation time...and money...so...uh...come back soon Bryan & Kari! (it might be awhile before we make it out there!)


i also learned that the race track is a fantastic place to people watch. i'd go back again just to do that - you see all kinds there :)
