Brett and I got to go to Hurricane Harbor for free last Saturday. One of Brett's coworkers also works for McDonald's and they gave him two free tickets to Six Flags Arlington. He didn't want them so he took them to Kroger and gave them to Brett. We were planning on going in the first place, so it worked out nicely. We drove up to Dallas the night before and stopped in Palestine for a friend's wedding reception. It was fun and frustrating at the same time b/c we got lost. Oh well. The next morning we got a little slow start, mostly b/c Mom sold our old couch and chairs that Scott had to our neighbor and we had to get it out of the packed garage.
Once we got to Hurricane Harbor, it was fun. Apparently I still get really nervous with water slides and want to chicken out. Brett got me on a few and they were fun, but I am still not too sure if I'll do them again. We wanted to stay much longer, but the park closes at 6 and we did not know that. We got to play for at least 5 hours though AND we did not get sunburned thanks to Mary Kay's sunscreen SPF 30. Brett was skeptical at first b/c apparently only Bull Frog works for him and preventing sunburns. He is now a believer. Whoop!!! So everyone should try it. I sell it so just let me know if you want it!!

Aggie Colors Day - Sept. 4
This is an e-mail that I got today from the A&M Interim President - Be sure to wear Maroon on Sept 4.
To: Students, Faculty and Staff
As we prepare to kick off a new semester and another season of Aggie Football, a new Texas A&M tradition is about to be born – Aggie Colors Day on Friday, Sept. 4. This is the fifth annual College Colors Day event nationally, and I think it’s time for Texas A&M to join the celebration.
Therefore, I call upon you to put on your favorite Aggie maroon-and-white attire – T-shirt, polo, hat or maybe even a bowtie – on Sept. 4 and head to campus bleeding maroon. Also, please tell all your friends, family and Aggie fans everywhere to support Texas A&M by doing the same in their workplaces and schools. That certainly includes everyone in the Bryan-College Station community, who we hope will wear their Aggie apparel and join us in celebrating the unique relationship between Texas A&M and the local area.
College Colors Day, which is being conducted in partnership with NCAA Football, is celebrated by thousands of universities, colleges, organizations and businesses nationwide. It not only marks the kick-off of intercollegiate athletics, but it also helps increase public awareness of the importance of higher education, which is reason enough to don your Texas A&M gear and show your Aggie spirit.
Aggie Colors Day will help put the long hot summer behind us as we get ready to “fight for the maroon and white.” It’s going to be a great year, and this is an exciting way to start the fall semester. If anyone can make a statement through College Colors Day, it’s our tradition-rich Aggie community. In fact, I would be willing to bet that we can do it with more spirit – and more proud participants – than any other university in the country.
So please join me in making Aggie Colors Day an exciting new tradition here in Aggieland – beginning Friday, Sept. 4. And then join the 12th Man the following day as the Aggies kick off the 2009 season against New Mexico at Kyle Field.

Ward boundary changes
Well, the stake changed the university ward boundaries on Sunday. The line used to be split down the middle of campus parallel to University Dr, down Texas Ave., and Holleman Dr. Now the line is University, Texas Ave, and Harvey. So everyone on Campus is in the CS University Ward. Thankfully Jenna, my cousin, lives north of University and so she is still in my ward.
