Well, the last couple of days I haven't written.
Things have been a little busy lately. We had scheduled to take the car in to be fixed on Tuesday (I believe), Scottie took off early to bring the car. Our (independent) mechanic is over the pass, in the area we lived over the winter. It's in ID while we currently live in WY. Anyway, he's a good mechanic who works solely on Subarus, and we have a Subaru. He's a bit more expensive, but he's worth the extra cost.
So anyway, she had ordered parts for the car but they ended up coming in late. So while the initial plan had been for Scottie to go over the pass on Tuesday and come home on Wednesday, he couldn't finish in time because of the delay with the parts, and because there was more to do than we had thought. So he gave Scottie a loner (Subaru Expedition) so he could come home and come back the next day. But because there were a bunch of emergencies the next day he couldn't get it done until Friday. Yes, he is a good mechanic and we are happy that we took the car to him despite this. We weren't thrilled with the delays however.
So on Tuesday Scottie left and came back the following day and went to work for a while that night. I had been working like normal for this time because I couldn't take the time off. Not that Scottie can either, but the only time we could get enough time for the guy to work on our car was on days that we were working. So Scottie's schedule can be more flexible at certain times, so we made it work. While he was waiting for the car to be finished he bought a guitar. The case was coming in the next day, she he was going to have it shipped here. After he found out that the car wasn't going to be done until the next day, he said he could come and pick it up. So that was all planned. Then we found out that the car wouldn't be done the next day on that following day. Because we'd already planned to pick up the case we headed out after work back over the pass and got the case. It was weird being over there! I'm used to seeing snow. lol I brought the camera, but the batteries were dead. I forgot to get replacements so no pictures from that day.
We went to Dairy Queen that night. I've been thinking about going there since last summer. So since I had eaten very well that day, I didn't feel bad about going and getting something from there. So me and Scottie both got a blizzard. Turns out that day all blizzard profits went to the Make a Wish Foundation (or something like that, there were notes from kids with cancer on the cups thanking people). So that was the best day I could pick to have one. :)
About the guitar. It is super pretty! He got a deal on it too. It's definitely not a cheap guitar, but for the suggested retail on the guitar alone he got the guitar, a very nice case, picks, and extra stings. He also got a guitar lesson book from there, and a couple of books from Barnes and Noble the following day when we went to Idaho Falls. One of his instructional things is the Estaban DVDs and book. I'll have to post a picture of the guitar itself soon. It has a very nice inlay.
So yesterday we left work and went to finally pick up the car. Since we were already over the pass we decided to go to Idaho Falls. It's a long drive from there still, but we were already nearer than we'd normally be out here at Signal!
We went and saw Stardust while we were theret. It is a very good movie! I thought it was really cute. It isn't really like the preview we saw for it, but in this case that is alright because the movie was still awesome. Scottie saw the preview for the Bourne Ultimatum and was very disappointed. The movie isn't like the previews we've seen for it. :/ But I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. But knowing the movie isn't like the preview isn't really what I consider a spoiler.
I saw the sunrise this morning when we were driving back from IF. We went to the movie at 10, so we were leaving IF at 1 am. We had A LOT of driving ahead of us, so we would drive for a while until Scottie was too tired, then we'd have to pull off and sleep for a while. We finally got home at 7 am.
I feel like there is other stuff that I wanted to write about... but I can't think of them atm. Maybe later. :)
