No Country For Old Men

As Camille, Camille's mom, and Camille's Sister got ready for prom. The men did something manly...we shot guns. It was actually something more than just shooting guns. We hopped in Camille's dad's 1990 Chevy pickup and went out on some of the backroads of Wyoming. As we drove, we had country music blaring in the background. Dennis, Camille's dad, had an old beat up hat and some rawhide gloves on. I felt very much from Wyoming as I did this. Also in the car were Camille's half-sister Joni and her husband Beau. They are not from Wyoming, but they too felt like they belonged as Shania Twain belted out "Man, I feel like a woman!!" We finally arrived at our destination and layed out the hardware. Here are the manly guns in full display:

To tell you the truth, Adam has never really shot a gun in his life. Other than of course BB guns or an occasional .22. However, these were like James Bond type of guns. Adam tried his best to be steady and look cool for the other guys on the trip, but all he could hit were the snow drifts. He never hit a target.
Another angle of Billy the Kid himself.
At the end of the day, we all had to take a piece and pose. Adam clearly looks highly out of place, but he thoroughly enjoyed his trip!! Next time we will seek out some more manly country music to listen to, and leave Shania Twain at home.

Wuv, Twwwwwwwue wuv...for Jill and Nathan

It is that time of year again. A time when young love springs eternal. A time when teenagers get all dressed up and go to prom. Camille's sister Jill had a hot date with a studly stallion named Nathan. Their date included a romantic limo drive to Evanston to eat at an even more romantic Don Pedro's Mexican Restaurant (note: Don Pedro's is neither nice nor romantic, but it was prom and they were in love.) They followed that up with a quick change of clothes, exchanging of flowers, and then off to the dance. I don't know if Jill turned into a pumpkin at midnight or not; however, Camille and Adam did note that at 12:15a.m. she was not yet home. The next morning we got the full report, however, full details of a good night kiss were not divulged.

This is Camille's sister Jill in all her prom glory!!!Looking hot, toots!!!
What is prom without your big sister there to give you a helping hand.
What is prom with out a studly stallion? Here is the man himself, Nathan, as he puts on Jill's corsage.
Jill returns the favor. I think her hands were shaking because Nathan looked so hot in his tux.

Roast this!!!

The entire three years (almost three years) that Camille and Adam have been married, Camille has been extremely afraid of cooking a roast. She is fearful that she will burn, destroy, or do something terrible to the roast. For this reason she has been rather reluctant. However, after talking with her mother, Camille decided to give it a shot. However, things did not turn out the way she wanted. Her mother gave her instructions to sear the roast inside the casserole dish. As she did this Camille began to hear popping. All the sudden the pan shattered and the roast lit on fire!! Adam came rushing downstairs to Camille's screaming and put the fire out, rescuing the roast. In the end the roast turned out OK, and actually tasted like it was smoked. We will see when Camille will make her next roast.

The shattered remains of the pan, and Camille's sad fase.

Camille's happy face as the rescued meat goes into the oven for a final cooking.
As you can see, the edges are a bit charred, but overall the roast tasted pretty good. Well done Camille.
