The week opened up slow enough. We came home from camping and went to work tired with happy souls. On Tuesday a coworker stuck her head into my office and said that she would cover gas if I drove to Elko to see Obama speak. So, 4am Wednesday we headed out of town and into the desert. We arrived in Elko around 8:30am and got into the line to get into the podium area. After waiting, and waiting, and waiting we were frisked, walked through a metal detector and showed to a seat at a green picnic table. The talk was short but inspirational and an amazing piece of history to witness.

After the speech we got some lunch and were back on the road. Of course I did grab some geocaches on the way home but we ended up making it back around 7:30pm, VERY TIRED!! The rest of the week we took Jordan to the dentist and worked while trying to do a good job through the sleepiness.
On Saturday we awoke to huge thunderstorms which is odd in the morning. They rolled right over our head and were so loud!! It poured rain all day on Saturday so we spent most of the day laying low, only going out briefly to support a new Scentsy consultant at her open house.
Sunday we took it easy in the morning but went on a long and playful bike ride with our friends Mark and Jody. We went all over downtown and along the river. It was fun. We hope that everyone had a great week and we are counting down the days until our trip to CA!!!
