Here is a fun little game...Leave a comment on our blog of a memory that you and I have had together, you and Jerry have had together, or one that you have had with both of us. It doesn't matter if you've known us for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about us, we'll assume you're playing the game and we'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Happy Birthday Jerry!

I didn't get Jerry anything for his birthday because he insisted on no gifts but I still wanted him to have something nice for him so I had breakfast made for Jerry when he got home from work after working the overnight shift. Then he was off to bed for a few hours. After waking up we had dinner together and watched a movie at home. I also made Jerry a birthday cake. Now when you see the pictures you may think, "that's a little kids cake" but for those of you that don't know, Jerry doesn't like sweets all that much so to get him inticed, I had to make it look nice and cool. He really liked it. It was a nice day to just spend together. Here are some pictures of the birthday cake, Jerry blowing out his candles, and us!

Little Big Horn

Since our move to Sheridan, I decided that it would be a good idea to take the short hour drive to see the Battle of the Little Big Horn National Monument. So last week Jerry and I drove to Crow Agency Montana to see the National Monument. It was really cool to learn more about the Battle and those that fought. I really liked seeing the layout of how the battle went down and what led up to the event of Custer's Last Stand. Here are some of the things we saw...

This is the Last Stand Hill were Custer
and his men fought for the last time.

This is Custer's headstone, the actual spot that Custer fell.

This is the monument for all the men that died
during the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

You know it is very interesting, when I was in High School history was my worst subject and I absolutely hated it but as I went through my student teaching it was something that has really struck my interest. Going to the Battle of the Little Big Horn National Monument was very interesting and I'm glad I did and learned more about it. It helps a lot that Jerry has a History degree, he was telling me lots about it.
