Matisyahu

Kelly and I went to a pretty cool concert last night. She bought me tickets to see Matisyahu in Reno for Valentines day. The lead singer is a...well he is interesting. He is orthodox Jewish man that wears a black suit and has a huge black beard. Oh yeah and he raps, sings reggae and beat boxes. Sounds weird but he is awesome live and his music has a good message. Check out his site below.

Trevor Hall opened up for Matisyahu and he wasn't too bad. He sounds like Jack Johnson, G Love, and Dave Mathews all mixed in together. His site is below as well.

Oh yeah and we found out that we can't do that kind of stuff on a school night. Today was a little tuff.

Washington D.C.

I went to Washington DC last weekend to visit Melissa and Tracy. Melissa recently moved there and Tracy flew from San Antonio so we could all spend some time together. We went to the Holocaust Museum, the World War 2 Memorial, and met a bunch of Melissa's new friends. It was a quick trip but a lot of fun!

Carson City Freeway

For over a year now construction has been going on to build a freeway around Carson City. The first section of the freeway is opening next week, and this morning the community was invited to walk, run, or ride bikes down the finished section of freeway. I was pretty impressed with how many people turned out to see the new freeway.....I guess there isn't a whole lot going on in the big town of Carson City!

Sand Mountain

We had a new experience today at Sand Mountain....which is about an hour and a half east of Carson City. The 600-foot-high, 2.5-mile-long sand dune is an off-road playground for ATVs, dune buggies, dirt bikes, and a thing called a "sand rail." Our new friends with cool toys, Tasha, Jason, and Ashton have a sand rail which we can only describe as a dune buggie on steroids. Other than obtaining sand in places where the sun don't shine, we had the best time we've had in a while!!!

Sneaky Sandy

So, we've found out what Sandy likes to do when we're at work......she is such a goofy dog! Kirby's not quite sure what to think.

January 29, 2006

We spent the day at Diamond Peak again. Micah had a little more fun teaching his snowboarding class this week. Here are a few pictures from the day......one of Kelly with her friends Tasha and Debra. The other one is US with quite a view in the background!
