Last night was a fun night. James called me all of a sudden and told me we were going out. I had to literally rush to get ready for sushi night at Edohana's. The atmosphere was awesome and the engineers were funny, especially Wyatt. lol. We had a good time and the food was awesome. Not to mention, displayed very nicely. (Pictures coming soon!) It was nice that mostly everyone went but we were still missing some people. I was thoroughly entertained by the guys taking Saki bombs. Wyatt even told us he wanted to go to our wedding and that he'd drive from Montana just to be there. What's funny is I didn't even consider inviting anyone from the training center because I just assumed that they would be too busy to go. James and I both agreed it would be awesome if he could make it and we were both kind of flattered that he'd drive so far just to see it happen. If there's one thing I'm grateful for coming out of this trip, it's the friendships we have made. I've learned about so many different countries, languages and religions I feel like I've already visited all these exotic places. Oh and Uncle Chipps from India are my new obsession! Rahl brought us some from India because he knew James loved them. The bad thing is that now I'm so obsessed about them and no one in the U.S. sells them because they are made by Frito Lay India. James and I are going to attempt to make them ourselves. We'll let you know how they turn out.

Yummy!!!

This morning Trigger thought she was going to work with daddy. (This really broke my heart) She got all excited because as James was leaving we walked him outside. Trigger got the wrong idea and thought that James was taking her "bye byes" so she started getting all excited (in Trigger's language=panting) and walked up to the passenger side door of my car and started scratching at it trying to get James to let her in. I had to tell her "No, mama daddy's going to work." You would have thought I ruined her Christmas or something. She got this sad look on her face and walked back to the grass. It crushed me. I know dogs have unconditional love but to actually witness it is something extraordinary. She even got mad at Tiny and bit his face because he tried to lay on James' shorts.

 Last but not least: Yesterday America lost a beautiful soul, Ms. Etta James. I doubt she will be forgotten as legendary as she was and still is today. She was a great favorite of mine. RIP Etta James and Godspeed.
