September 2016 - Bears and Buffalo

One normal, average morning Emily went outside to find…all the cars missing in the parking lot? Did somebody still everybody’s cars? Nope. The pavement needed a manicure and so someone towed every car to the other side of the building without warning us(!). I’m far more amazed, even impressed, that someone actually did this than I am put off by the confusion and slight inconvenience. img_0345 Everyone needs a giant teddy bear in their lives. Just ask Random Dude and Creepy Emily. img_1771 We went to Utah for two weeks in September to visit family and Emily’s dog, Morgan (more on that later). On our drive, we encountered an atomic bomb explosion.img_0327img_0333 These are not gross! They’re not! Why do you think they’re gross? img_0335 Aah another Legacy game, this time of the Risk variety. Your actions in one game affect the board, cards, etc and all future games. You rip up cards, you write on the board. I can’t tell you more than that or I would have to kill you! img_0322 Look how much FUN we’re having! FUUUUUUUN img_1617 Focus!! FOCUSSSS! img_1619 In other news, Emily turned into a Troll. img_1669 And we got to see Shauni and Jordan! We played Ticket to Ride Europe and we discovered that Emily’s sister Cassi lived very close and so she joined us as well. It was fun to meet their dog Banana and see their awesome garden and eat spaghetti with sauce made from their garden. Jaren and Emily discovered that our Camry is actually an LE despite it looking janky. ;) img_1679 This is Morgan. Emily’s family got her over 10 years ago and was Emily’s companion on many a walk. img_1692 Recently though her health started to decline and she was diagnosed with leukemia. img_1699 The family made the tough to decision to not let the disease get to a point that really put her in pain. img_0324 And so we spent a week hanging out with her and everyone else. We took her and Tim the cat on walks. (How cool is it that the cat went on walks with us?) img_1753 Gave her lots of pats. img_1761 And then said goodbye. She’s happily chasing buffalo in doggy heaven now. img_1764   Farewell Morgan, you will be missed. Bon Voyage.
