Hey Everyone,
(So my computer is being kind of lame with the whole picture uploading, but as soon as i figure it out i'll get some pics up!)
Thanks Blake for putting together an awesome blog for us, the technically challenged. I figured it was time someone else added to the blog to give your fingers a little break ; ).
It has really been great soaking up these California rays! I love the sunshine and sometimes wonder what motivated me to move to Utah, j/k. Cohiba and I have gotten to do a lot of catching up! He is so cute and I love him so much! I really missed him and now we get all the time in the world together, we have been having a blast running down by the American River. He won't fetch on land, but throw that stick out in the water and that pup is all over it, poor boy though is a little retarded and forgets where the stick goes so i have to throw rocks at it to make a splash so he can find it, sometimes i just have to throw a new stick all together.
Julie and Blake's California trip looked so fun that i just had to have a SoCal trip of my own! I took my little sister, Beanie (Coralyn) down to her dad's house in Fullerton then went to my Best friend's Jamie-Girl in Santa Monica, It was so nice to see her! She has the cutest cats! They are so big and fat, they sound like bowling balls when they go down stairs. It was so nice there, the weather was perfect, I got to run along Venice Beach the next morning which was beautiful! I missed the Ocean so much! The darn seagulls in Utah always throw me off! Haha, ever so often a bum would stop me and ask me my height then try to get close to measure ... that is when i would start running again with a side-step just long enough to say goodbye.
Jamie-girl and i walked along main street for a little while looking at shops, we found one shop that was absolutely adorable! I just wish i were rich and could have bought the whole store to share all its secret treasures w/ my team. It would have been the perfect attire for our Hawaii Trip! (So excited for that P.S.! I think my mom already has her plane ticket!)
Friday and Saturday were a lot of fun too! I went to Diamond Bar where my Aunt and Uncle live in this really nice gated community. My uncle Larry's birthday was on friday so we all had dinner at their country club, on the way to dinner we saw Snoop Dogg standing on his driveway with some friends, of course he lives 2 houses down from my Aunt and Uncle, who else? haha. Dinner was really nice! We all had to wear dresses and sports coats, the waiter pulled my chair out for me and pushed it in while i was sitting down! Then i tried to scoot my chair in even more, but of course i had the table leg and hit the table with the chair shaking all the dishes on the table!
When we went back to the house for cake and presents my uncle larry (he is a rather tall fellow w/ quite the lung capacity) not only blew all the candles out with one breath, but blew all the nuts off the top of the cake all over the table. My Aunt Nancy's mom was brushing walnuts off her lap for 5 minutes! It was really rather hilarious. Later that night we had fun cousin bonding time! It had been such a long time since i had gotten to spend the night with both Alex and Jessica, so we popped in a chick flick and chatted while making a hair-braiding and Massage Train, Except i only got to be in the front a few short times, because they both wanted to take advantage of my massaging and back scratching expertise, thank you Robyn, Blake, Mari, Julie, Betsy, Susie, Kayla, and Veva (last year) for always giving me the opportunity to practice!
Saturday was my cousin's bridal shower, we played some fun games and had a lovely lunch! You bet i went back for seconds! Larissa, Jessica's sister, is the Maid of Honor (still want to see that movie) so she had to make the rehearsal bouquet out of the ribbons, which all of us under 40 had never heard of before.
Saturday afternoon I drove to Corona to spend time with my grandparents on my mother's side. They have a lot of Cats! They show them and they are in magazines and are very well manicured! I asked Marti how many cats they owned at the moment, she said she didn't know but probably just over 20! They really are fun cats though will the most hilarious names such as "Marvelous nite 4 a moon dance" "Epilepsy" and "Aja" They were so fun! I had such a wonderful visit with them! They are really not like grandparents at all! I felt like i was talking to some old friends who I had not seen in a while, we talked for hours. Marti shared her Secret Sauce recipe with me for artichoke dip, oh it is to die for! LOVE IT! I really can't get over how much fun i had with them! I laughed so much and actually miss them right now! Who knew grandparents could be so cool!
After our visit that night i went out with my friend Anthony, i had not seen him in like 2 years so it was fun, we pretty much just walked around and talked the whole time about all sorts of fun things, little did i know the freeway closed at night for construction! It took me over 2 hours to go 5 miles! I did not get back to Corona until after three, where i was lost because i had to take a different exit. I ended up calling Betsy that late! She was so sweet and tried to look up directions for me, but her internet was not working so i ended up flashing my lights at a cop and asking for directions! Could i have felt anymore blonde!
Turns out I had passed border street like 15 times but it was called Shurman a little down the road and i did not know it.
Sunday was great also, i Stopped in Paso to have a bbq with my stepdad, Cori (my little brother), Lacey (My sister), David (Her husband), Evey (My niece) and Jessica (another one of my best friends). Beanie forgot her suit so she swam in mine and got fried by the sun! Cori was doing backflips into the pool! i thought he was going to hit his head he was so close to the edge! he would be a good gymnast! It was so nice to see all of them, Evey is not even two and a half yet and she is already half my size! She is so cute, she has a really deep husky voice and curls that go for miles!
We finally made it home Sunday night to watch a movie for mother's day with my mom. Over all a fun trip! I got to see so many people who i have not seen in a long time! It was absolutely wonderful! I really was not ready to go back the cleaning out foreclosed houses (my job).
Well, I think this blog is officially long enough! Can't wait to read everyone's postings!
LOVE <3>
