So you think you can dance...




Last year Tennille became obsessed with the show "so you think you can dance" which eventually made me obsessed with it too. Anyway I wanted to surprise her last year, so I submitted for tickets. Well we never got them last year, but I got an email last sunday that said our name finally came up and we had tickets to the thursday showing, the live results show. Luckily enough, thursday is both of our days off and we fly for free so we decided we would go and try to get in. (last time we tried to go to a show, the price is right, we stood in line for 4.5 hours and still didn't get in; so we were a little weary about this one)

Anyway, we flew out there wednesday night and stayed at my cousins house. It was good to see Hadyn, Griffin, Steph and Tris. Apparently they do the live results show in 2 parts. So for the first part we had to be at the studio (same one as the price is right) at 7 am so we were on the road early. After a couple hours of waiting in line we finally got in to the studio.

I guess not too many people come to the morning part (this is where they tape the opening group dance) so we got front row right in front of the judges.


After the first filming session we had a 3 hour break before we had to be back. When we got back there was a huge line formed,

but luckily we got to go right to the front because we went to the morning filming session. This session was the actual live results show, and we got to see One Republic perform as well.

Watch at 2:22 for proof of us being there!

Anyway, they didn't let us take cameras into the studio for obvious reasons so we didn't get any pics inside. But this was a blast and if anyone gets the chance to go you should, it was well worth the time.

Tennille's First ride of the season

So as we get older and my friends start to have kids, I hear them say that they would almost rather watch their kid do good at something they love then to do it themselves. We I can tell that will totally be true when we have kids. Tennille was able to finally get off work and make it to the lake to try out her new wakeboard set up!




Last year, after many-o-hard falls she finally started clearing the wake (for you non wakeboarders, this is a big plateau most people face, so its a big deal) Well I thought it would take a while for her to get back in the groove, but after 5 minutes she was hitting wake to wake jumps without even thinking about it. The moral of the story is: Tennille is AWESOME, but also I was so stoked to see her do it, I just wanted to fore go my turn to keep watching her ride.




Our next step: We need to buy a boat!!!

Also my buddy Josh made this video of me riding, so I would feel guilty if I didn't thank him properly. Josh, I'm always Downfortheride!

THANKS CHAD and RORI!


We had such a good time the other night at the Tim McGraw concert. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the music was awesome...the people watching wasn't bad either! People do the craziest things at concerts.
Anyway, thank you to Chad and Rori for hooking us up with tickets. It was fun to go to dinner with you guys and hang out for a bit. It was also good to spend some time with Amy and Jer...we all haven't been in the same place at once for a long time. Good times with the fam!
Cody and I love going to concerts during the summer. It's so romantic to sit underneath the stars together and listen to good music. (Cody will probably gag when he reads this.) We also ran into some friends from Logan (Mitch and Natalie)...it was good to see them!
