Bowling

Since January of this year, I have been in two different bowling leagues. One of them is Sunday night and the other is Thursday night. I have had a great time on them and love the people I get to visit with and have fun with. It's a highlight of my week especially if work has been yucky. I am in it for the fun and don't get too upset when the ball doesn't go where I want it to. I am constantly improving and increasing my average!



When I first started I think my family thought I was a bit crazy for liking bowling so much to be involved in leagues. However, the tables have changed and my mom is hooked. Haha! She has been driving down on Thursday nights to watch Jeremy and me bowl. Sometimes she brings her best friend and sometimes my dad. It's great to have someone rooting for us and its like having our very own cheering squad. She also discovered the pizza at the alley is awesome and sometimes I wonder if she is only coming for the pizza and we are a side note!!



We only have a couple of weeks left until we are finished. I'm glad for the break but can only enjoy it for a little bit. Jeremy and I decided to be on a friends team for the summer bowling league. We chose Thursday night so if we had plans on a Sunday night we wouldn't have to rush to league. It should be a great time especially with the team we will be with. Who knew bowling would become such a big part of my life. It has turned out to be a great hobby and its been great to meet so many new people.

Wii

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of my roommates Tyson came over and Jeremy was over. We also decided to turn on the Wii and have some head to head competitions. That was quite interesting at times! The boys really got into the games, while Andrea and I preferred to just sit back and watch while drinking wine!! Hehe The boys playing tennis

We played all sorts of games like tennis, bowling, golf and boxing. The bowling is more my style, but I did try tennis and boxing. Jeremy is a whiz at the tennis and he tried to coach me but I think I am a lost cause and he was getting a little irritated at me. Oh well! Thank goodness he didn't watch me box cause that was hilarious and quite the workout!

Andrea and I were able to get some good pictures of the boys in action. I even have a great one of Jeremy all tuckered out at the end of the night. He just wore himself out!All tuckered out!

All in all it was a great night and we had lots of fun.Jeremy and me

Easter

Family Picture

Lately, the last couple of years have been out of the norm for Easter plans. Last year I had to work on Easter and mom and dad and Jen came down to Hermiston. They brought dinner with them and we just sat around and visited. This year, I was hoping Jeremy could spend the holiday with my family. However he had to work but was at least able to get away to go to church. So I ended up going to church with him that morning and then heading up to Tri-Cities for the rest of the day. My sister was in town and I wanted to be able to be with her and my parents. Our family actually got invited to dinner which was nice that my mom didn't have to cook and we didn't have to clean up! It was a very relaxing time. Then my sister headed home back to Seattle and I headed back to Hermiston because I had bowling league.

Jenny and Me

One of the best things that happened that day was when I got to league that night. I let Jeremy know when I got home but he was at Walmart and decided to just meet me at the bowling alley. When I got there, I noticed something on the chair next to him. He had bought me a stuffed Easter bunny and around its neck was a beautiful necklace!!! It was a circle with the word Faith etched into it and a cross hanging in the middle. It is absolutely beautiful and I love it!! I showed it off to everyone I could!!!

All in all, it turned out to be a pretty good holiday!

Jeremy

I know it has been a long time since I have posted and I apologize. I have been a little preoccupied this past month with a new relationship.

Jeremy and I met through a mutual friend and through both of us bowling. We started out as friends and would talk on the phone or text each other. We even met a couple of times for breakfast. Gradually we started getting closer and closer and before we knew it the rest was history! Haha!

I am very happy and he is awesome! I can't believe it has already been a month. I feel like we have been together for so much longer. I am so comfortable with him and we have so much fun together. He always can make me laugh and I love getting his hugs.

My parents really like him, which is a big bonus for me! Tuesday nights have been our "date" night with my parents. We are planning it so sometimes my parents drive down here and then we drive up there. Sometimes we go out to eat and other times mom has cooked and then we have sat around the table playing Farkel or Chicken Foot. It's been nice for all of us to be together and relax.

Right now Jeremy is working two jobs. He is a supervisor out at the Walmart Distribution Center and he works part time at Fastenal. He does work seven days a week, but we still see plenty of each other. On Sunday, he is able to get a couple of hours off work to go to church where I meet up with him. Then usually on Mondays or Tuesdays we can have lunch together. Then of course we always keep in touch with texting as much as we can!

Things are going great right now and I can't wait to see what the future will bring!
