Bryan & Brittney Austin

So we have not been too busy lately and not a whole lot going on.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and it was a very uneventful one at that. Since both Bryan and I work we did not get to spend much time together. I left for work at 8:30 am and Bryan was not awake yet. Then I got home at 8:00 pm due to having lab class right after work. Bryan had left for work at 3:00pm. He did not get home until 11:30pm. The only thing we did together was share a heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and then went to bed. No whoopy this Valentine's Day. We both were just too tired.

But this last Saturday we did get to enjoy a treat together. Bryan and I went with 97.5 The Blaze radio station on a Valentine's Ghost Hunt. I had won it off the radio being lucky caller number 7. First we met at the radio station and all loaded the party bus which took us to Tracks Brewery in Tooele. While there we got a steak dinner that was pretty good. I have to admit I was surprised that we got steak dinners and was kind of expecting finger foods instead. It was a fun place though and we enjoyed the food.


Then we got to board the party bus again and go to the old Tooele Hospital. It was closed in 2001 and had been open since 1947. It is said to be the 3rd most haunted hospital in all the United States. It was pretty cool to go and see it. It was creepy for sure and there was definitely a presence there. At one point they did a light response test. Let me tell you. It could convince anyone. They will take a twist light and twist it just to the point of on and off. Then they leave the light in the middle of the table. They did it with more than one at one point and even three lights. Then they ask the entities different questions in hope to get a response through the flashlight. For example, while we were there (this was in the old conference room), they asked the entity if her name was Jessica ( a usual resident of ghosts) and if so to turn on the lights, all of them. Sure enough all the lights would light up. Then they asked her to turn them off and they would shut off one by one. It was insane. It was amazing to see. It was obvious that there were no tricks to this. They even had a device that would detect the different energy waves in the air and determines words from the dictionary to what the entities were saying. At one point I was pretty excited and sitting upright and tensely in the coach that Bryan and I were sharing. The voice said "Couch, relax." I relaxed realizing that he might mean me. It was completely dark too. There was no way to see what my expressions were. Then, Bryan left me for a bit to go explore. At that time while they were talking to the entity in the room called Tommy, I felt someone brush there hand against mine. It was ice cold but definitely felt like a hand. Then the voice replied to a question with "Couch, pretty." I felt chills just fill my spine and whole body. I was definitely a sinick but now am a believer of the paranormal.

My sister, Darcy, is buying a new home. Which seems a little crazy because they were not able to sell there old home, they are now renting it out to college students so they can have a bigger home and a little newer one that has more home for them to raise a little family in. They are hoping to start trying to have children this summer and hopefully have a kid by next year. I am rather excited for them. I want to be an aunt so badly. I have waited for a long time to be one too. Darcy and Danny, get to work. The best thing about kids, is making them.

Olive has found a family that will take her for the rest of her life and love her as much as we would. They are a great family that has huge yard, doggie doors throughout the house, another black lab female about Olive's age to play with, and have only ever taken rescue dogs. They will better understand her not wanting to leave us too. We were able to have Olive get her surgery through the help of friends and family. It is wonderful to see her running (not jumping yet) around feeling good and she is finally making her final steps to becoming a happy dog for the rest of her life. It is sure bitttersweet though. We have grown so attached to her through the past several months that we have had her. I really do and so does Bryan, love this dog. She is so wonderful and she has left a paw print on our hearts. We will miss her so much and it will be hard to get along again without her.

Well that is about all that I have right now. Will continue with our lovely stories that we endure through our adventures.
