Zoom Zoom and Yee Ha!

We finally broke down and bought a new car for Jon over the weekend! His old car has lasted him 11 years... so he was due for a new one! After hours of intense negotiations we finally got a car that we liked and a price that we were happy with! Whew! Yes, we broke with tradition and went with a non-Saturn vehicle.
It is a fun little car that is functional, but still looks cool. It is a Mazda 3 in Copper Red. I think Jon is very pleased. Now if we can just make ourselves stop saying "Zoom Zoom" everytime we get in it...

A few weeks back, we joined our friends Christa and Rebecca (who we affectionatley refer to as "Boo") at a local restaurant called Cadillac Ranch for the sole purpose of riding a mechanical bull. This stems from a confession by Rebecca that she once rode a mechanical bull in Tucson! Since then, Christa and I have been dying to see the Rodeo Queen in action! The stipulation was that Christa and I had to ride first! After a few false starts, we finally got Boo on the bull! It was the realization of a dream! Honestly though... the funniest thing is watching her attempts to get ON the bull in the first place... and not so much her actual ride! Christa has been kind enough to post all of our humiliations on You Tube for the world to see. I am quite proud that someone even rated my video with one star! Enjoy the show! You will note that my ride is titled "Rodeo Cosmo". This came from the name of a drink served at the restaurant. I decided it would be a perfect name to use if I joined the rodeo! Plus, it was equally fitting that the remainder of our evening included a trip to see the Sex and the City movie!

Rebecca's Ride! Yeeeeee haaaaaaa!

Been a long time since an update!

Okay... we have been dinged for not keeping the blog up to date. Our apologies. Seems like there are never enough hours in the day sometimes!

Let's see... since the last update... we have gone on a cruise from San Diego to Vancouver which was nice (aside from Bill having a day of sea sickness). We really enjoyed the experience and look forward to doing it again... although we both agree that a warmer climate will be in order!
Aside from a couple of long weekend trips to Palm Springs, we haven't done a lot of traveling. In April (or was it May?) we made a brief visit to Texas to celebrate the birthdays of Jon's mom and grandmother!

Aside from that, it has been a pretty quiet Winter and Spring. We recently bought a Nintendo Wii which we have been enjoying immensely! Last week, we purchase the Wii Fit... and have been having a ball with it! Jon as it turns out... is a hula hoop master! For anyone who has not seen the Wii Fit... we highly recommend checking it out! Not sure if we will indeed become fitter over time... but we are having a lot of fun with it... and are definitely being more active than we would have been otherwise.

Until next time, hope everyone out there is doing well! Feel free to leave a comment... even an anonymous one... to say Hello!
