So I saw this story on the news and was so amazed that I had to go onto youTube and watch it over and over. Just watching the reunion of Christian with his previous owners sent chills down my spine. It just reminds us if animals are treated with love they never forget!!
This story starts when a lion was purchased at a departmant store in London. As he grew his owners decided that the best thing was to release him back into Africa. They were succesful and he became the leader of his own pride. One year later they went back to see him. Just watch the Joy on his face when he recognizes his owners.

Ten on Tuesday
1. Went out to dinner with Brad and Jolene friday night to a restaurant called Stockmans. it was good!
2. All last week it took me over 1 1/2 hrs to drive home from work. they have been working on repaving the freeway between Rexburg and Idaho Falls for the past several months. For some reason last week everyone felt it was necessary to drive 10 mph through the construction zone, ugh!
3. Saturday I used the riding lawn mower for the first time, although I'm not sure I should have learned because now Dave will expect me to do it every week, and I definitely think it should be his job :)
4.Took Brad and Jolene out on the boat in the afternoon, along with Jen and Cindy from my work. Everyone seemed to have a good time even Jen's two kids( Shawnee and Devlin).
5. Dave went on the surf board with Shawnee, because she was to scared to try on her own. It was hard work, but she had a great time.
6. We were able to get everyone else that tried either up on the surfboard or the wakeboard!
7. Every time we go out Frodo becomes more comfortable on the boat, there were a couple times saturday that I thought he would jump in.
8. When we were ready to leave Dave discovered that the Truck would not start. Luckily Jen had brought her truck with her and we were still able to tow the boat out of the water. After arriving home Dave and Brad went back to the reservoir to get the truck and tow it to a friends place. Dave tried the truck one last time and it started, unbelievable :( because of the trouble it took Dave until midnight to get home.
9. We were very tired Sunday and took a long nap after church. I love naps!!!
10. Went with Jolene today to the Vet to see if Miss was pregnant. She was already 60 days along!!! so in about nine more months they will have a baby!

Ten on Tuesday
1. Played in the softball game again this week and I actually hit the ball every time I was up to bat.
2. Dave decided that he was tired of not being able to sleep due to the warmth, so we went to Home depot and purchased a swamp cooler. Dave installed it in the spare bedroom window on Saturday. It works great, our friend Jake down the street recommended getting the largest one available even though our square footage is smaller then it is labeled for.That way it can run on low and cool the whole house down.
3.Saturday afternoon we went to Brad and Jolene's to visit and get some time working with their horses. We always have a good time over there. Jolene taught me some more about training and I worked on Miss. She then worked on her young horse. She likes to have someone in the pin with her since he is just learning about riding. Afterwards I went and caught Apache so I could ride a little. whew! what a workout. I also need to invest in some good riding shoes.
4.We Caught the late showing of The Dark Knight. It was so good, definitely lived up to all the hype. Heath Ledger's performance as the joker was amazing, one of the most disturbing villains I've ever watch. It was very suspenseful and very intense. I recommend to everyone who thinks they can handle it!
5. I final decided it was time to tryout netflix. We never rent movies, mostly because I don't ever feel like going down to blockbuster. But there have been a lot of movies I have wanted to see, so netflix seemed like the perfect solution.
6.It is staying very busy at work. yesterday I felt has if I spent all afternoon doing pr work. Talking to clients and keeping them happy. Why do people have to be so difficult?
7. Frodo keeps digging out of the backyard through the side gate. It makes me sad that I can't let him lose in the yard while we are gone. He has this neurotic need to be near us, so even when we are home he spends all his time outside trying to find a way in the house. Good thing he is really good at getting into his kennel now when I leave for work in the morning.
8. Went over to Jolene's again this afternoon and learned some new techniques on Miss. I work on desensitizing her to the stick(training tool) and then getting her to move they way I ask her to. It is a lot of fun!
9.I am loving my tuesdays off, it is so nice having time to do nothing and still get all my errands run.
10.Only 10 more days until Breaking Dawn is released. I am starting to get very excited!

Ten on Tuesday
1. Work has gotten very busy. Friday we didn't even have time to take lunches because Dr. Rolston needed to do a fracture leg surgery. Luckily the office manager order us some pizza to eat between projects.
2. Dave picked me up from work Friday so that we could head straight to Meridian. It was fun to use our new GPS unit to find Grandma and Grandpa's house. work went a little longer than planned so we didn't reach our destination until 11:30.
3.We got up early the next morning to go to the Lake. Wow, the water was freezing cold. Take your breath away cold. It was refreshing once you got use to it.
4.Dave was impressed that everyone was willing to try something out. It was fun to watch the kids get pulled around in the tube. Although no one successfully got up on the surf board there were some really close tries. Jackson and Kimberly almost had it.
5. I was glad that Terri and Tyler were able to come later. All the Kids sure wore Dave and I out. We got to the Lake just before 10:00am and didn't stop til almost 6:00pm.
6. Afterwards Dave and I went over to the Frazier's for some Pizza and Just to hang out. It was nice to be able to spend some time talking with Terri. I sure do miss living close to the Fraziers.
7. I guess we must have been pretty tired because instead of getting up at 8:00 Sunday morning, We slept until 10:00. After breakfast we were able to visit with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a very good weekend and hope to repeat it some time. We decided to leave early enough so that we got home at a decent hour. So at around 1:00 we headed out and were able to arrive home at 6:00.
8.Unfortunately I have no pictures of the weekend, because like always I forgot my camera. No matter what I always seem to forget that one item when I pack in a hurry.
9.My car windows got tinted on Thursday. They sure do look good. Here in Idaho I was able to get all 4 side windows tinted. It is against the law in California, which is too bad because it looks so good with all 4 windows done. I hope that the tint will help with the heat inside of the car and protect my upholstery better.
10. Jolene gave me my first lesson today on training horses. I learned how to lunge a horse in a round pin. I am excited to learn more.
