These next two weekends will be busy for Justin and I. This Labor Day weekend we're going up to Utah and we will be camping and rockhounding. We're headed to Topaz Mt. to collect..well topaz. BLM has set aside some land for public rock/mineral collecting and we're going to try our luck and hopefully find some really cool stuff. We even went out and bought a book on Topaz Mt. and how to find the highly sought after gems. We'll also be doing a little fossil hunting, unfortunately we're going to have to pay for it. For $30 a person we can collect as many trilobites as we can for 4 hours. You can see what a trilobite looks like by clicking on the link above. Basically they are a now extinct creature that lived on ocean beds, some could swim, and probably scavenged for food. They come in amazing array of shapes and sizes, the ones we can find at the site are tiny compared to what can be found in other countries but it will be fun to get dirty!
Now next weekend, on Thursday the 7th we're flying back to ND/MN to see our buddies Britta and Kris get married in Fargo, ND. We'll be back on the 11th so it will be a short trip back home but it will be fun but stressful trying to see as many people as possible.
Other than our busy weekends not too much going on. On the more distant horizon at the end of Sept we've got Justin's bro Jason and his dad Dana coming out to Vegas for the annual FireFighters Convention. Then in October my buddy Jeni and her boyfriend and their friend Serena are all coming out to celebrate Serena's b-day. Serena for her present wants to go see Thunder from Downunder, and so Jeni and I happily agreed. Justin just rolled his eyes.

Lost /cry. Season 1 is watched all the way through, was hoping the store here would actually carry season 2 on the release date, which was 6 days ago so ya, ordering it from amazon. But sadly /cry I won't be up to date for season 3 with you all. I would like to comment though after season 1 that I am quite upset at the death of Boone...he was my eye candy.

Okay Stef. It's been almost a month. Just do a quick posting or something so we know that you're okay.
