recent happenings

i'm finding it difficult to blog on a regular basis since chad and i live seperately now and i have not a computer of my own. it's tough; but i'm coping. here is a condensed version of not even a fraction of what been going on lately. no, not one bit of it has to do with knitting. and yes, chad promised that tomorrow he'd take pics of me and the phantom sweaters i've been talking about. i'm telling you people-they are real!

Here's the one and only picture i have of my engagement ring that i've yet to wear. there's nothing worse than being engaged and not having the privilege to flash around that shiny new rock. because i'm super anal, i had to get a new setting made for the ring. oh, but not just any setting. of course the one i want is no where to be found, we had to take it to a place where they specialize in custom jobs. i literally wore the ring for a day, took it to the shop, and almost two month later, still no ring. i guess the first time one of the prongs looked bent. the second time the cast blew up in the kiln. so, last weekend my mom threw an engagement party for us so we went to billings, where the ring is. my mom had picked it up for us as we arrived in town late. when i opened the box, hoping to find the ring of my dreams, i was crushed to find a ring that didn't even slightly resemble the picture which i had given these "specialists". so, yet again it's back in the hands of these alleged "professionals". this time i took a couple hours and drew a diagram (to scale) of the ring i was given, and the one i want. hopefully they get it this time...idiots.


On a lighter note, just 'cause we don't live together doesn't mean we don't cook! and yes, this was likely one of the tastiest meals we've ever made. particularily the shrimp you see on the left. it's walnut shrimp and is AMAZING! thank you silver seafood!



now that we're back in the M.T., it's only right to hit up a griz game. these are a blast.
here we are decked out in our griz gear.

our stadium is pretty cool. it's state of the art and seats 25,000 peeps. they're sold out every game.

chad and his buds: chance, rj, and cole





and a bbq after. classic.
