101 list (and other) updates

I haven't blogged in a while... and I have lots of updating to do, apparently. With Karen leaving, we were fitting in a lot of fun things (along with some not-so-fun-things...like moving). But quite a few of the fun things we did had to do with my 101 list.

I've never been shooting, and I've wanted to. So my home teacher took me, Karen, and a couple of other friends to go shooting with him. I didn't actually break any of the clay pigeons, but I did come close a few times, apparently... even though I've never held a gun before.

We were supposed to go paintballing, but it didn't actually happen. Karen bought a Groupon for it, and when we went for our scheduled time, apparently it only paid for part of it and we would've had to pay a lot more money. So the group of us went and got crepes instead. But we tried. And Karen found a tiny paintball and smashed it on me. So... maybe I can count it?

Karen and I went to the Western Idaho Fair...and somehow managed to not get any pictures of the two of us. Whoops. (Though you can see lots of pictures of some things we did see at the fair at Karen's post about it.) But it was a lot of fun, wandering around, seeing the shows and animals and contests. And I did take a picture of a quilt that reminded me of my family. A missionary's mom had taken quotes from her e-mails and made it into a quilt. Super fun idea.

And because I haven't blogged about this 101 list item yet... I am getting laser hair removal. So... that's in process and I think it's helping. But I still have several treatments to go and hope to see even better results!

But other than 101 list stuff, we did lots of other fun things. Like go doing some aerial yoga, watching Merry Wives of Windsor at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, seeing Nickel Creek in concert at the Idaho Botanical Gardens, watching Paula Poundstone, going to the World Center Birds of Prey Museum and the Boise Aquarium, and floating the Boise River. Good times. :-)

But yes... I have officially moved. Just to the next town over. My commute is pretty much the same to both stores (I'm not right by a freeway entrance any more, which I miss). But the location is still good, I like the house I'm living in and my roommate (Jessica) seems really nice, plus she has a couple of super sweet cats. And I'll be in a new ward (we'll have to see how that plays out). Work is still keeping me busy, but I got a new boss recently and I really like her. I've been very fortunate to have great bosses.
