Last week we had guests in town from California.

Chase & Haley

We hung out with friends and played Pictionary Man.
Poor boys, they had a hard time winning especially trying to draw an invisible man.
How are you supposed to draw that?!

Lindsay, Me, Haley, Jana.
We won the game!

Me, Tyler, Haley.
Haley and I have known each other since 1st grade.
She’s one of the few who has been there since the beginning of my relationship with Tyler.

Midnight snacks are eeeevil and no longer welcome in my house.

Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun!

We ended 2009 with some jowling! Now I can say I have talked to some people from the future, but I can’t say we have flying cars now that it’s 2010. Looking at the year itself makes me think that we all should have flying cars and special powers by now. Maybe 2020 or even 2030?

Don’t tell me it’s not possible because you think the world’s ending December 21, 2012.  It is NOT going to end…..I think.

This weekend went by too fast! Friday night Tyler and I went to Scottsdale to a brewery to celebrate Jason’s Birthday with his family & friends. It was awesome seeing everyone again and seeing old faces too from high school. I LOVE driving on Scottsdale road but we saw 2 incidents that happened with the police that all happened on the same road.

Saturday Jason picked me up and we went to Tommy & Kelly’s pool party. The pool felt like the hottub but then I can’t imagine what the hottub felt like then! Tyler finally arrived late afternoon after work. Later in the evening, a female who was with her relatives (I think) had a seizure while in the hottub. A few people from our group went over to help and call 911. It was scary but after help came she was okay, which is good! One of the EMT guys were cute so some of the girls got excited over that!

Today Tyler and I seriously emptied Blake’s (Tyler’s brother) room for his arrival on Tuesday. I’m not sure how I feel about that…I’m kind of numb. I actually enjoy just living with Tyler but I know that having Blake live with us will help us a lot with saving money. Mom did our budget for us and we found out that we’re going to save A LOT every month and even with saving a lot we could actually afford to eat out EVERYDAY!! How tempting is that!!? Haha but seriously we want to save, save & save!!

Mom and I finally ordered stuff to create wedding invitations so I feel better that we’re already getting started on that. Mom, on the other hand, is driving me insane with adding more & more people to the list. We’re over the limit of how many we can invite – which is fine but that means we have to pay more money. Now I gave mom homework to get me all the addresses of her friends – even our neighbors’ house number!

Speaking of homework, my sister starts her second year of high school tomorrow – August 11th! She said she’s getting up at 5AM. I remember rolling out of bed at the last minute in high school (well, and college too)! Is summer ending? I feel like it just started….and it doesn’t really take a toll on me since I’m not going back to school…ever!!
