God and Gambling

Kellie and I ventured to Twin Falls on Saturday for a wedding. Ok, so it was Kellie and I so... we ventured to Twin Falls for a wedding reception. Really now, who can expect US to be on time to ANYTHING? Was a good drive, had lots to chat about. Seems weird that we don't work with each other anymore. Kinda like I've lost the second half of myself. Don't get me wrong, I get to see her tons. For christsakes we are neighbors and all! But I do still miss the everyday thing! Anyway, the wedding... it was one of those weddings where you KNOW that these two will be together FOREVER! Her first real boyfriend and his first girlfriend. Met through Campus Crusades for Christ. Haven't yet dated a year. But this is IT for them (and I HONESTLY believe that is true). Keri and Jeremy have to be two of the nicest, sweetest people on the face of the earth. Incredibly genuine. Their receiving line took longer than their reception and wedding combined because they took time to greet each guest individually. Seriously wonderful folks man. The trip there took a downhill turn when Kellie looked over at me and said, "Did you realize that these two are going to lose their virginity tonight?" IIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! It was bound to happen. One of us was going to mention that. And I believe it haunted us the entire time. Every time we saw them kiss that was all we could think of. I know, I know, dirty minds. I'm glad I have gotten a chance to know these two, they are definitely a light in the world.
Well, all the uber-Christianity and super sweetness drove us straight to Jackpot... literally. We decided we needed to temper all that loveliness with a bit of alcohol and gambling! WOOHOO!!!! Someone we worked with at Boise State changed careers and is currently working as a floor manager at a certain casino in Jackpot. We stopped in and got to see him. Was very cool. I have got to say casinos are such a surreal place to me. No windows, scary people, women who look like the chairs they are sitting in (odd, but really happened), old people, people, literally, hooked up to the machines they are playing. Guess I never really noticed the people so much in Reno but I suppose that would be because it's bigger there. This place was pretty small. We had fun though, drank a little, gambled, at some pretty damn decent dinner, gambled some more, came home with more than I started with. Good trip. I am still kicking myself though that I didn't bring the camera. What the hell was I thinking? We changed our clothes in the car, in the parking lot even, now that would have been a GREAT picture! Ok Kellie, we must go again... and this time with a camera!
