Super Attractive Girl Plays Debussy Beautifully

I attended a piano/violin recital recently. I watched with extreme attention. I fell in love with the accompanist.

                                   Reverie, by Claude Debussy -  Pianist: Bethany Bergmann

Enough said, I love this girl super-lots. Bethany is the dream better than all the dreams I've ever dreamed. She is the one love of my life, and I love her with all of my heart. She is the only woman I have ever loved and the only woman I will ever love. The first date, the only date. The only sweetheart I will ever be sweet to. 

The honest truth is: Bethany, I don't know what I would do without you. You are better than I could ever have asked for. I never expected to fall in love with someone so wonderful as you. But here we are. :)

I figured you guys would like this one. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch the world's most beautiful woman play some really epic piano?

Hiking at Rib Mountain

 Once upon a time there was a nice sunny day. A very light breeze shifting through the trees, and warmth. 

What a perfect day to go hiking! We pulled the whole family along, including my older bro who usually doesn't stick around on Sunday.

There was one thing missing. </3

CHEEZ

The colors were amazing! I mean people, it truly was a beautiful day. 

Hah. I'm at the peak.

My little cousin looks stuck. O_O

HOO-HOO-HEE-HEE-HA

 The quarry was really neat. HUGE.

When I got the ridiculous idea to climb down the steepest part of the quarry, I realized it was a lot further down than I thought.

I picked the steepest spot, because that's where I was standing when I had this brilliant idea. :] My brother is standing at the top.

 

Actually, the hardest part of the climb was the rock slides. It was hard to move anywhere for fear of sliding of the EDGE!

The Quarry

The walk back was crazy. I fell behind the clan because of my climbing and top secret project. I was getting stitch cramps because I was kind of dehydrated. But it was still a great time! I took the long trail back and ended up in the street. :D My family came by to pick me up half an hour later, and I downed a whole bottle of water and Mountain Dew.

At the end of the day... There was still something missing. 

Plover kitchen re-model

Usually a kitchen re-model wiring project should be a two-day project for two men. Not with this lady. OKAY. All I am going to say is that she was VERY picky, and even delusional. Not to mention we couldn't work efficiently with her talking 999999words/second in our ears, and complaining about all the other contractors she had to fire because they stole anything from her silverware, to the "beams" in her attic, and not reconnecting a bathroom exhaust fan tubing. "He probably slashed it open."

What can I do. But just listen to all this and be like:

"Yeah.."
"Mhm"
"Wow"
"That's not good"
"Okay"
"Mmmmhmmmm"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah"

Oh, and she brought a man to life. She commanded him to breath in the name of Jesus.
She has so many good crazy/amazing/impossible/never-did-happen stories to tell! If you want a good story, talk to this lady. :)

Time to use the MAG-TAC (310 lumen ultra-bright concentrated beam flasher)

Replacing halogens.

The attic. That's why you need a MAG-TAC. (Nods) You get fun crawling experience as you try not to fall through.

Eh.

You see, she had me enter the attic to check out this exhaust tubing that she was positive either wasn't reconnected after the roofing job, or was slashed by the roofer when he stole her beams. WADDAYANO. Every beam in the attic was still there. The tubing was fully in tact. I came down to report, just to have her tell me to replace the vent ANYWAY.

"I just brushed off all this itchy stuff lady. KAY. Back to the piles of insulation. :S"

She won't trust anyone's word for it. During the whole job she was questioning our work, and she wouldn't trust us to tell her the truth. She thought she knew more about our job than we do! :/ Not cool.

I found a cool spider though. That was somewhat redeeming. :)

After all was completed over there, I am just glad it is finished. ^_^

My Golden Birthday - Double DATE!

Since it was my birthday last Thursday, mom and Bethany had planned a surprise getaway/thing for me...although mom ended up giving it away beforehand. Oh well! It was still as nice as ever! We went on a double date with my parents, and had a really sweet time!

First off, I opened some gifts. An iTunes gift card and card from mom and dad! 

A mini card from each of my four youngest siblings, a little man with his own home-sewn pillow, and chocolate. ^_^

Little pencil men from Rosie. :)

AND THEN FROM BETHANY. First thing out of the box. Some car fresheners.

Oooh! GUM. ^_^

It's so TOUGH!

A very artistic homemade birthday card. Very beautiful!

Ha. Chocolate.

Tastes pretty good. There's cherries and almonds in there.

It melts in your mouth. Oh wait. The almonds don't.

Last, but far from the least, and NO. 1 gift from Bethany: A scrapbook with a collection of lots of our great memories!

Then Bethany and I left for New London for a double date with my parents!

Speaking of Beautiful. ^_^

She wouldn't let me take a long video. :D

We dined in at the Jolly Rogers Pizzeria in New London.

The pizza was good! We ordered two larges...which was WAY too much for the four of us. But it tasted excellent!

After dinner we went on a walk on the riverside walking/biking train on the Wolf River. It was really nice out! Besides the odd people in the streets. SHOOT. It was kinda weird. :D

THEN WE WENT TO THE MOVIES!! We watched maze runner. Quite the interesting movie. :)

Needless to say at the end of the day Bethany drove home, and I retired missing her already. An excellent memory to archive!!

:]

I might just get killed for this. But oh well. Here it is. :)

Say hello to the world's luckiest man(left), and the world's most beautiful woman(right).

Yup. I'm pretty much the luckiest kid on the planet. :D I've never met a girl so perfect and overwhelmingly wonderful as Bethany. Too good. :)

Green Bay Open - July 5 & 6, 2014

 It was quite a nice time playing a chess tournament again. I had been long deprived of the intense competition, and interesting atmosphere of public chess tournaments. Although my final score was only 1.5 out of five games...I still enjoyed myself!

My best friend William Schweitzer finished significantly better than I, scoring 3 out of five games.

The interesting thing is that this tournament was held at Oneida Casino in Green Bay, inside the hotel section. So there was no shortage of weird people walking the halls! :D

Round 1: Easy cake. :)

The playing site normally supplies water. ^_^

Round 2: Easy cheesecake. :}

"I'm bored."

Cha-Ching!

Oh yeah. And there's me.

In the main hall there were these odd displays with dolls representing the different native American "clans".

Awesome stonework!

Round 3: Losing to a little kid.

"This sucks."

 We had lots of fun, and we ate Taco Bell like twice. XD

P.S.
My best friend William is the man with the blue shirt in the first picture. Yeah. I KNOW RIGHT! He's pro. Yeah. I know. I KNOW!
