WHAT??!?!?!?!?!!???!

WOW... I'm astonished that Kris Allen won over Adam "amazing vocals" Lambert!!! I have little to say on the matter except that I am in Awe!..... Uh... WOW!

WE LOVE RACQUETBALL!!!!

This first picture is of Israel and I in September of 2006 at fitch park playing racquetball. Israel and I have been playing racquetball for a long time! We love it! We have a really good time playing! I usually get really mad because Israel is so good that he doesn't play at his best and still beats me every time! Recently we have played doubles with Scott and Becky. It's been really fun! Whatever team Israel is on no matter the combination That team wins. He is just so good! Last time we played Becky brought head bands for all of us so that we would look like professionals! I loved them so much I had to get pictures! ( I thought it was funny that the first picture (below) is in almost the exact same spot as Israel and my picture (above) from 2006!)

Kids these days.

So ...Israel, My two younger sisters and I are all pretty obsessed with American Idol! We have been watching it and loving it! Until last night! ...OK, so there are a ton of 13 and 14 year old girls that have little ability to judge musical ability but sure can fall in love with people they don't know pretty fast! So because of these little "groupies" I found myself and my family voting. We don't vote usually on contestants but, We have been rooting for Danny Gokey this season! Since the beginning we decided he was "IN IT TO WIN IT!" Well... saddly America is being overrun with youngsters with cell phones! They voted and Chris (Who lacks some singing ability and seriously needs to stop moving his mouth to the side!!! UGH!) and Adam (love him sometimes, like the Smokey Robinson week, and hate him sometimes, Ring of fire!!!) are the two finalists. Well I want to let everyone know that I think Danny should have been in the top two! We spent quite sometime making our votes count!!! Between the four of us we put in approximately 325 votes. Israel and I both 100 votes and Hilaree and Margaret the rest. ALL for Danny Gokey. He is better than Chris. That's all I can say about it!

Israel is gettin' SKINNY!

So when Israel and I started dating he was about 40 lbs heavier than he is now. At his largest weight he was about 290lbs. Now he weighs around 225. That's awesome! Of what he lost... I think I found half of it. I just think it's cool and pretty crazy that he is so much thinner! We reallized this yesterday when we were cleaning out his drawers for DI stuff. Ya I made him take pics! It is really amazing to look at old clothes and pictures!
