Dew Tour, Smash up, and Wolverine...

So yesterday was quite the busy day! I'm not sure I've had one quite so busy in a really long time. We started out the day by going to Salt Lake for the Dew Tour to watch the BMX finals. It was pretty sweet, we got lots of free stuff, or "swag" as Conly referred to it. We saw some pretty cool new tricks. I don't really know that much about BMX, but it was really fun to watch. So that got over about 3:30, we had tickets to stay all day and watch the skate boarding finals, but they pushed the time back from 5:00 to 7:30. We did really have anything to do for four hours so Conly, Kyle, and I decided to make the treck home, normally you don't think of the hour drive to SLC as a treck really, but Jean-Claude Grand Am was having a bad day (that is Conly's car). It took more like 1.45 hours or so to get home... driving a good chunk of the way at 30 mph. But luckily we got home in time for me to jump in my car with the movie projector and drive to Logan to watch the demolition derby with some of my friends from the 25th ward. It was primarily a truck derby so we saw some pretty good hits. We even saw a suburban get rolled. It was pretty cool. After that we went to Trevor's house to watch Wolverine (who informed me that everyone has a thing for Hugh Jackman- I have to agree with that). Just as everyone was getting to his house from the derby it started raining. Blah! So we moved inside and played wii for a bit. I didn't beat anyone at tennis, but I did pull from behind and beat Trevor at mario kart- the one game that I actually excell at! So after a while the rain stopped and we set up the projector outside on the side of their cinderblock shed. It worked really well! Such a great movie, the best line is "I think there is a naked man in our barn". Yeah, I can totally appreciate Hugh.


So it wasn't a very exciting post, but I'm tired! lol. No that was not whining, there is no whining in this blog!


So at church today I was released from my calling, but not as me... the councilor read off the names, "Justin Allred, Adam Young, Megan Allred... please show a vote of thanks..." Justin looked at me and gave me the "how you doin'" nod. It was so funny! The bishop let the councilor know that my last name is Allen, and it was fixed, but oh it was funny! He did come appologize to me later. I just laughed and said that it was okay.
