Fun in the Sun

Yesterday Jen, Steph, AJ and I went to a water park. It was a great day weather-wise. Not to hot and just enough cloud cover to make standing in line bearable. Jen and I had never been to a water park together. AJ had called me up and asked if Jen and I wanted to go to Six Flags or Hurricane Harbor. I know, like some of you, how much Jen hates rollercoasters, so I chose the water park. In my mind water rides are nothing like rollercoasters. In Jen's mind there are pretty damn close.

So we set out late afternoon all lathered in sunscreen to our very first ride. The higher and higher we climbed, the less and less Jen spoke. Until I heard her mumbling to herself, "Why am I here? I hate this. I'm going on this and that's it." I then proceeded to rub her shoulders like I do when she is feeling a bit tense. It was then I noticed that Jen was starting to cry. I told her it would be okay, as we sat into our two-seater tube.

She was behind me so I could not see her face. But accounts from Stephanie say that as soon as we started down. Jen reached out for the sides to slow us down. As soon as we were engulfed in the darkness of the "Black Hole", name of ride, Jen began the loudest, gut-wrenching scream I have ever heard. Steph reports that everyong at the top of the ride turned to look down the hole from which it came from, with startled looks on their faces. After the loooong scream, Jen apparently held her breath. This was followed by a large gasp for air that sounded as if she was hyper-ventilating. I turned around to tell her it was okay. She then yelled "I'm okay, this is actualy fun." Just before the second drop. Which propelled her into another blood curdling scream.

When we got down Jen was shaking uncontolably from the adrenilin rush she gave herself. :P She did not make it on the next ride with us. She had to take a break. The good thing was that we had gone on the "scariest" ride in the park, so everything from there was a breeze. We all ended up having a blast, and minus my hearing loss from the first ride it was another fun adventure.

As directed...

So Justin and I are starting our first blog! My mom kept talking about all the things we should be letting people know as we travel down the adventurous road of our first pregnancy together, with the end result being a journal of the next 9 (7 left, really) months of pregnancy for our child to re-read! As we haven't done a blog before we are learning many new things- like html and templates... grrrr!

So, today I am officially 8 weeks pregnant! And we were starving, so we went out for Thai food- YUM!!!! I MUST learn how to make that sweet mango rice! Ok, so now I'm hungry again, so I'm going to go find a snack, and then maybe a movie tonight- also tired, haha!

And at Summer's (quite expert) direction, I will work on acquiring lots of pictures to post!

Love to everyone!
Jennifer (aka- Dragontongue) and Justin (aka- (he forgot his dragon nickname and is playing warcraft, so currently it is "he-who-is-not-to-be-disturbed-during-this-dungeon)...lol).
