New Chunk Photos ( as per Lori)

MOST OF THEM ARE RECENT THE ONE WHERE HE'S WITH ANOTHER PUPPY WAS BEFORE WE BROUGHT HIM HOME.

Long time.....

It's been a long time, but we haven't done much but work, so I guess that's why no blogging for a while. Last month we went to SLC for the Pughs homecoming talk, we went down on Saturday, went to a session, checked into our hotel, went to P.F. Changs ( not a fan) went to IKEA (which Colby decided is one of his favorite stores now) and then went and had a BBQ with the Littles (one of Colby's companions). Went back to hotel watched "Richie Rich" and went to bed. What a vacation.

On August first we went to a wedding in Twin Falls and cooked, it was super hot. I took Colby to the waterfall that you can go behind (my favorite stop in Twin).

We went to Shoshone Falls for a little bit.

peck adventures of the weekend....

Being a holiday weekend you'd think we would have a little R&R.... ha ha that's funny. We helped with the Artic Circle float in Soda Springs, so that took most of Friday and Saturday. On my way home, Saturday night, I stopped to check the mail. Chunk was with me, sleeping in the front seat, so I ran in checked the box and walked back out to find my car was locked and running. Chunk had stepped on the lock button after I had got out, he has a tendency to wait for me in my seat after I leave. So I called Colby and we had to have someone come un-lock it for us. Earlier in the day we had heard that Inkom was flooding (where we are currently living) so there was mud all over the place. Not in our apartment though.

We went to church the next morning and only had sacrament meeting and then were to report back to the church ready to work. I was sustained to my new calling, but not set apart that day as well.... I'm the new YW secretary.

Sunday we hauled a lot of water and mud out of homes of those around us. We loaded a lot of debris from the banks of the creek also. There were tons of people out to help, it was amazing to see so many people come together for one cause. The youth amazed me the most, they jumped in and did whatever they could and more. Bucket lines were formed in many places. Props to everyone!

the last little while....

We have just been working and trying to keep up with life. Chunk has been a handful, he ate some rat posion the first day we had him, so he had and ER visit to the Vet. Then a few weeks later he got his shots.... about 5 hours later he started to swell up. Yep, back to the Vet for some steriods, he was allergic to the shots. Then last night we came home and he had dug up some more posion from who knows where. This time we just gave him peroxide and he threw up, we think he just chewed it up because there was no green in his up-chuck.

Besides that we really aren't up to much.... work work work

Hey you Guys....

This is Chunk, our puppy!

Bike Ride....

So, I got a phone call this morning asking if I wanted to go on a bike ride. I said yes and then discovered it was more of an adventure.... we were riding from Inkom to McCammon. Which I keep telling myself "I'm going to die" and "no you're not". I knew I was going to have to do something to make me tierd so I could take a nap before my graveyard (where I am now), taking a 24 almost 25 mile bike ride wasn't what I had planned but it sure did work.  I went with Mike and Laura Nielsen and their two kids, Mike pulled them. I wasn't sure how well I was going to do, but I did better than I thought. I did walk some, and took one break. I got really hot and felt lite headed, so I sat down for a few minutes and then was back up and off we went. 

We took the back roads, which I might add is also the hilly roads. I haven't rode that far or on that many hills since my mission. We went 30 mph down a few hills, it would have been faster but I really didn't feel like crashing and I wanted the down hill to last longer.
