YAY! FRIENDS!!

Well, it looks like people actually do like me ;). I have friends! As soon as I figure out how to do links on the side, I'll be sure to put you up. I am sorry this blog has been rather neglected. One of the big reasons is that we switched our household to Macs a few months ago, and I don't have a cord for my digital camera to hook it up. And really, what's a blog without fun pictures? But, I have decided that for as much time as I spend reading other people's blogs, I need to do better and update mine. If for no one but myself, just to see a log of what we've done. But here's a quick update on the Alger's. I'll try to include what has been going on since April! Pictures to follow...

July
We bought a cute little Yorkie named Rusty from KSL (please see my tribute to KSL below). He is the cutest little dog ever and so much fun. He is furry grandson number one for the grandparents.

August
My birthday month! I was so excited this year because it happened on 8/8/08. My work took me out to lunch a few days before and unfortunately I got food-poisoning and missed my at work party, but besides that, my birthday was great. Buddy and I went on a fun vacation to Cancun, Mexico (where we had our honeymoon). We even stayed at the same resort we had before. It was lots of fun. We met the funnest couple from Las Vegas, Sam & Randa, who drove us around the crazy streets of downtown Cancun. They literally have no lanes there, they just make their own. So sometimes the roads are two lanes, sometimes four or whatever you feel like squeezing in.

September
Buddy started school again much to his dismay. He is planning on graduating in April of 2009 with his Bachelor's in Psychology. After that he is applying to grad school to become a school psychologist. He is looking forward to finishing school and not having to write another paper.

October
We have been looking forward to Halloween this month. We attended a great party at the Clyde's house that sent us on a scavenger hunt through Lehi and Pleasant Grove. Our team won the treasure (a chest full of candy) after spending over an hour digging up s a small park. It was lots of fun. We also got to hang out with Rosalynn and Greg on Friday night and we went to Liberty Land in Lehi. We rode the bumper boats, and although it must have been 40 degrees outside, we sprayed each other with the water guns on the boats. Call us crazy, but it was a great (albeit cold) time.

November
Well this hasn't happened yet, but Micah goes into the Missionary Trainging Center (MTC) November 5th. He'll be serving a two year mission in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He actually gets here tomorrow and he'll spend the week getting everything ready! Yay!

I do have lots of pictures and intend to post them soon!
