Cameras lead to blogs






This is my first blog. We recently got a new digital camera so I figured I'd start a blog and post pictures I take. So I'll start with our most recent event, a game night with our cousins. Patxi and Jessica came to town because it was Labor day weekend. They are staying at Joseph and Ivy's apartment. Sunday after church we had dinner together. They made tacos and it was pretty good. I think it was the first time I had tacos using pork. We brought dessert; Brianne made lemon bars and I made brownies. After dinner we played a couple games. First it was guys against girls in a game of outburst. The guys won, but just barely. Then Patxi, Jessica, Joseph and I played pinochle while Brianne and Ivy played Yatzi. Joseph and I won, but again just barely. Then it was on to pictionary. Guys against girls and the guys won by a huge margin. The girls had only moved a few spaces. Then we split into three teams, couples and played again. It was taking quite a while to play. Brianne and I got out in the lead and then got stuck for a little while. We finally made it to the end but it was an all-play so we had to beat everyone in order to win. After much tribulation, we finally won. It was an intense game and we came close to winning several times, only to be delayed in our victory. The hardest thing to draw was "hiccup." It was an all-play which means that we went until one of teams got the answer. It took us like five minutes and I kind of cheated by making the body motion of a hiccup because no one was getting it. At the end of the night I took a picture of all of us. I figure what's the point of getting a new camera unless I document our lives with photos. That's the reason I'm starting this blog. Later we will put up more posts from the past and the future as our married life goes on.
