PARTY!!!!

So yesterday morning I was just hanging around the house when at about 10:00 Richard called and told me that the smoke alarm and power had gone off in the Clyde Building (the engineering building at BYU where he spends his whole life) and so they were outside not thinking much of it, because as it is an engineering building let's just say they end up outside quite a bit. But they were told that there was a real emergency and that they wouldn't be let back in for at least an hour. So all BYU students get a free game of bowling every year so Richard and a few of his engineering friends went bowling and soon found out that the Clyde building would be closed all day so Richard called me and we felt that it was reason to celebrate...

We started off by going to Chili's for lunch to enjoy their wonderful 2 for $20 deal

Then we went to the Wilkinson Center and went bowling because you can go bowling for one hour for $8 a person. It wasn't very busy so we each got our own lane. We bowled 8 1/2 games! Needless to say we both woke up VERY sore today! You'd be surprised what a work out bowling can be when you go for an hour!

After bowling we were both exhausted, sweaty, and very thirsty so we went to Sonic and got happy hour drinks.

After we felt we had spent enough money for the day we went home, played games and watched movies.

It was FANTASTIC! We hardly ever get days like this, most weekdays we don't see each other til about 6:00 pm and we go to bed at 10. And Saturday's are just full of chores and errands so this day was a very welcome change.

The bad news is that the Clyde is also closed today and they don't know how long it will be closed, the part they need to fix the problem is in Ohio so we'll see what happens. This wouldn't be so bad, except that Richard is going to San Francisco for an Earthquake Engineering competition next week and he has a lot of work he needs to do for it, but all the work is on his school computer, so until he can get in there he can't do anything. He is a little stressed about that. So once the Clyde is usable again I don't think I will be seeing him much at all next week. Good thing we had such a great day yesterday, because he will have a lot of work to make up.
