happy cats

Yesterday I had to volunteer for a couple of hours at BYU's Harold Cedartree Memorial Powwow. It was actually pretty cool. I helped for an hour or so serving food (Navajo tacos!) and then tried to help tally dancers during the Grand Entry (when all the dancers come into the ballroom and are introduced), but it didn't really work. So instead, me and a couple of girls from my class sat and watched a couple of the dances, and it was really interesting to watch. The "Tiny Tots" division was super cute - a bunch of under-six kids doing traditional Indian dancing. I had fun. After a little while, Eric came to pick me up, and we got some of those Navajo tacos, which were pretty good. A little expensive, but pretty good anyway. I figure it's not really a problem paying $5 per taco if it's for a fundraiser.


We had decided a little while ago that we were going to buy bikes with that money the government is giving out, and a couple of days ago we decided to check out some used bikes on Ebay. We both found ones we liked, and WE BOUGHT THEM!! I'm really excited. I haven't had a bike since I fell off of mine the summer before seventh grade and broke my wrist. Hm. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. I'm going to need lots of practice. Eric's also really excited. He's been planning out all the places we're going to go camping this summer, and I having bikes will give us something to do besides just hike and sleep. So, yay. Hopefully they come soon. I can't wait!
Oh, and here's a funny picture of the cats we took about a week ago. They're so weird. They used to have a box that they would hide in, but it broke and so now they just cram themselves into the corner of the hallway and sometimes fall asleep there.
