Overheard on O'Fallon's Way

Random man talking on his phone while walking down street: "Fine. But you know what? One day you're going to want me to get you something, and I'm gonna be like 'no! remember that time that I was stranded and you wouldn't get me gas for my pocket bike?'"

Four years

Oh Nic, I like you so much. Happy Anniversary!

"A glorious day"

I intended on helping Nic wash his car for the first time, but it became quite clear that I was the third wheel. I had no idea that this was such a milestone. Nor did I know that a car wash can take more than an hour. I'll say one thing for Nic: He is thorough. And slightly crazy.

I asked Nic if I could describe this moment like his car was getting baptised, but I didn't expect him to say yes. So from now on you can rest assured that Nic's car is saved.

And Nic? Nic is a happy man.

He promised me a new freezer

I got this picture message from Nic today with a text that read "got it." I called him and this is how the story was relayed to me:

Nic: "We were driving on the road by the shop and Justin asked me if I wanted a freezer and I said HELL YEAH!"

Later I texted him back asking him not to clean off the writing on the front. I'm very excited that the freezer Nic picked up for me off the side of the road is actually a frezzer.

Reno: More awesome than I expected

Nothing says summer like letting it all hang out at Hot August Nights. These guys know what I'm talking about.

And as it turns out, the dogs in Reno love me.

And I LOVE them. But that doesn't mean that I can take them home. Even if they are for sale. And even if I pout. A lot.

There were also a lot of cars at the car show. Lots and lots of cars. THOUSANDS OF CARS. An ungodly amount of cars! If Nic were writing this, it would be all about those beautiful cars; cars that are worth millions of dollars. But did I mention that there were puppies for sale?

Here's a Coronet that is not nearly as cool as Nic's.

And here's a Mater truck that is also not as cool as Nic's Mater truck is going to be.

And here is some proof that we were actually there together.

To top it all off, we went for a chilly swim in Lake Tahoe. This is me before I shriveled up and died from the cold.

A word of advice: If you're ever thinking about a weekend trip to Reno, please know your geography better than we did. Just because Nevada is right next to Utah, does not mean that you just head west for a few hours. Plan on a solid nine hours and try to leave before 4 p.m. on Friday.

Something to look forward to

Because Nic is so handy

As we tore out our master bath last weekend, I realized that I haven't mentioned that we finally got our main floor finished. So yeah. We finished it like months ago. That just shows you how on top of things I am. I love love LOVE the new floor though. I highly recommend that all laminate be replace with natural stone or something equally awesome.

My favorite part about our new floor is that it stays cool. That's why I can count on finding Sup enjoying its amazing coolness each morning. I have no idea why he insists on laying with his feet elevated on the wall. He may have been dropped on his head as a puppy.
