The weekend of August 9, Anthony was in Pocatello for another auto-x. The day of practice runs brought a surprise for Anthony. His race tires wore through the day before the race, which meant he had to run his street tires for the weekend. Street tires aren't as sticky as race tires, so cornering is much more tricky.
While Anthony was racing I was in town getting ready for a fashion show. Earlier in the week I was getting my hair done & one of the stylists asked me if I wanted to be in a fashion show that Saturday. Why not? So I spent all Saturday practicing my runway walk & being pampered. It was so much fun! I don't care that it was a small town thing, it was such an experience! Despite my schepticism, Anthony left the races early to come watch the show. My stylist put my hair into a frohock for my second outfit, and the crowd was so shocked I could hardly keep from laughing!
The following week was full of preparations for our friends' wedding. Kate and Sam decided to get married at my parent's cabin in Irwin, ID & I was their "wedding planner". In reality, Kate did most of the planning herself. I was just backup for anything that might have been overlooked. We headed to the cabin Friday night & Saturday was all about the wedding. Sam plowed down weeds so they would have an isle to walk down, Anthony chopped wood and helped move around furniture, and Kate & I gave the house a hardcore cleaning plus set everything up. The wedding was absolutely beautiful! I ran around making sure everyone was happy while taking pictures & Anthony manned the grill and entertained all the Great Harvest girls.
In our "downtime" we've been kept busy with work. Anthony's now the mechanic at our friends' scooter shop (Scoot 'N Powersports). It's a perfect job for him since he's always playing with his car or our scooters at home. There seems to be a new scooter rolling in every other day, so he's preoccupied all the time now. He's also taken up soccer in the last few weeks, so he spends a few nights a week with that.
As for me, I'm now a baker at Great Harvest. Baking's essentially a promotion at the store; given only to the few people they deem responsible & capable enough. So I work mornings all the time now, and three to four days a week I'm up at 2:30 in the morning. It sounds a bit off, but I absolutely love it. Most days I'm done with work by 11 a.m. so I head home for a power nap and then have the rest of the day to do whatever I want. During Christmas I'll head in around 10 at night and stay at the store until 8 or 9 the following morning. From what I hear, Christmas is the baker's favorite time of year and I can't wait to see how things will work out!
