My newest obsession

Yes, a video game. We finally bought Guitar Hero for our playstation (thanks in part to Circuit City going out of business- the extra savings was just the convincing I needed). The first time I played it in a store I didn't know what I was doing and therefore sucked at it and thought it was dumb. But our friends Kristen and JC have it at their house and everytime we go there I want to play it. I was hooked. So we broke down and bought our own. Mike seems to prefer the drums, I like the guitar, and we both agreed that neither of us should try the singing again.
As you can tell, not much else going on at the Montenegro house. We did finally get our brick wall for the backyard completed and Mike is doing a great job of getting everything organized and stashed so that we can start making the yard look like a yard. We have a big patch of fake grass that we are going to put in the yard and we rolled it out to see what it's going to look like and the dogs LOVE it!
I should be going now... have to get ready for scrapbooking tomorrow!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year to everyone! Just wanted to get a quick post in today. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We both had to work Christmas day :-( so we spent Christmas Eve at our families' houses. We both also spent New Year's Day at work, so no New Year's Eve partying for us. The day after Christmas we went to the dunes for 4 days. Had an awesome time! It was not too busy and the weather was pretty good (warmer than it was in Tucson). It was raining/snowing on us while we were loading up to go on Friday but it was nothing but sunshine at the dunes. Some friends went with us that had not been to the dunes and I think they really enjoyed. We're trying to decide if we are going to go back at the end of this month or if we are going to Vegas instead. Definitely going back at the end of February though. Next weekend we'll be in Phoenix for Supercross. I don't have any pictures to post because I didn't take any on Christmas Eve and we all forgot to take our cameras to the dunes.
Hope everyone is enjoying 2009!

Thanksgiving pictures

I finally remembered that I didn't post pictures from our Thanksgiving trip. I didn't take very many, too busy riding I guess. But here are the few that I took (mostly of our dinner).

Thanksgiving

Well we finally got our computer back so it's nice to be "connected" to the world again. We spent Thanksgiving at the dunes. We went with a different group than we usually go with so we camped at a different spot (Buttercup instead of Gordon's Well). We liked Buttercup pretty well but missed having the sand drags right there. But the dunes were so close to the camp and the ride to the hill was super short so that was a plus. We had a great time. We went up on Thursday because we both worked Wednesday, so we had our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday. We fried up a turkey and had mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, corn and rolls. It was so DELICIOUS! I think Thanksgiving at the dunes will become the family tradition for Mike and I. I will post some pictures too. I tried tonight but it was taking too long - over 10 minutes for 5 pictures when I finally canceled it! Anyone else have that problem? Not much else new with us. Just getting ready for Christmas (Mike and I both work on Christmas) and another trip to the dunes the day after Christmas. We'll be there for Mike's birthday!

FYI - Our computer caught a bug and now it's dead
:-( so I won't be posting for a while. Same goes for emails for the most part. So if any of you are thinking we are never to be heard from again, we're just waiting for our computer to get fixed. Having to use the library computer sucks!!! Hope all is well with everyone else.
