Let's Move the Homicidal Reindeer

I didn't write last week because I was too freaking busy, but I thought about writing, so that may or may not be enough. Probably not.
We had a really great time in Logan. Went to Zootah, the zoo in Logan. I still love that zoo. They have a yak. They also have a really pissed off reindeer. He's right next to the petting zoo, which is probably a safety concern. If you got to close to the fence he'd try to stab you with his antlers. Maybe move the homicidal reindeer to another area. Just a thought.
They have some sandhill cranes that followed Mirinda as she walked, which she thought was hilarious.
I had the worst Indian meal I've ever had in Logan as well. One of my rules for traveling is to check Trip Advisor. Search for restaurants in the area you're going to be in, and pick one of the top 5, and 99% of the time you'll discover some new amazing place. Because it was 4 years from the day we met Mirinda I thought lets go to an Indian place. There are two Indian places in Logan. One I've been too and it was OK, but the other one was more highly rated. When we drove up I realized the restaurant was connected to a convenience store. Should have been a red flag but it wasn't. Most Indian food you get here in Utah is going to be Americanized to some extent, but this food barely resembled Indian food. No taste, not good. Should have gone to the other place, or maybe just skipped Indian food in Logan. We did however find an amazing breakfast place. It's called Herm's Inn and the food was excellent. I had a corn beef benedict and absolutely loved it.
We went over the mountain to Bear Lake. Pretty much all the girls want to do is throw rocks in the water, so they were happy. It was a good time with those little weirdos. They make everything fun though. They get so excited about going on an adventure.
Mirinda has a new boyfriend. Blake. She was holding his hand as they walked into class. I wasn't happy about it. The problem is Mirinda doesn't like to tell me anything about her day. When I ask her what she's learned about at school she says A B C and when I ask her what else she learned she says 1, 2, 3. Now I make her tell me at least one thing that happened at school that day and she's gotten much better at it. Because of this I can't freak out too much about Blake or she won't tell me things anymore. So I asked her if he was nice and she said, "Yes. That's all I'm going to say". I'll have to be content with that, at least until the background check is done.
I'm turning 40 next week. I'm not happy about it. It's the Peter Pan syndrome I guess. It's why I'm in shorts and a tshirt every chance I get. I don't feel 40, so I guess that's good.
I took Mirinda to Costco the other day and we walked through the Christmas section. I've always been one that wanted to wait until December 1st to do anything Christmas, but not this year. I love Halloween, love Thanksgiving, and love Christmas and I'm all in. The Halloween decorations will go down after Halloween, and I'll probably put the Christmas lights up right after that. I'm waiting on Christmas music though because honestly, most of it isn't very good. I like the religious songs a lot. 'All I want for Christmas is You' though? Kill me. So I wait until December 1st for that.
As always thanks for reading. We've been on a bit of a lull on the podcast because Jim Bob is a world traveler now, but we'll get going again with some new episodes.
