Reality. Lots of reality shows on TV. I like them. Biggest Loser, Survivor, Iron Chef, American Idol....there's not much else to watch! Brady's girlfriend, Lara, interviewed for a new reality show the other day. They want to do another interview in front of the camera next. Cool! Sounds fun. I hope that whatever it is, they don't make her eat anything gross. Good luck Lara!

We took the parental units down South last weekend. We left here in the cold...with lots of snow. It was gorgeous at Cottonwood Cove! The sun was shining and it was so warm!

We had a good time hanging out with Brady. We did some shopping, lots of eating, and a bit of gambling. We ended up winning a little...at least we came home with more than we went down with. It was fun.

Here are some pics from our trip.
