Yo!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Not going to any halloween party or doing anything exciting. I'm actually looking forward to doing nothing for a weekend. At my one workout class on Weds we all dressed up and worked out. It didn't last long because people got hot and took off their outfits.

Pictures of Chicago are coming. It was a good weekend. Weather was great on Sunday, rained a little on Saturday morning but overall the weather held up. Flying in and out was an adventure due to the wind. Mom didn't like it too much. We went to a play on Saturday night and we had a good time. It was a one woman show called "Put The Nuns In Charge." We all got called out by the woman who was the nun, it was pretty funny. We walked a TON. My legs were soooo sore on Monday. It was great to get away and see Kyle and Ashley.

Have a safe and happy halloween weekend! Holy cow... it's November tomorrow.....

I'm Off!

To Chicago this weekend for my birthday! Figured you only turn 30 once so I should do something fun. Kyle and Ashley are meeting Mom and I there. Should be fun!


Side note - Facebook has taken over my email inbox with notifcations. I had no idea people would find me so fast.... The whole thing is kinda weird and a few people are obsessed with sending me flair and writing to me.

Peer Pressure

Apparently I don't do well with peer presure. As you may recall, it was my friend Micah who told me I needed to have a blog. After all, it was the way I kept track of him and his brother Adrian. So I did a blog.

Now I have friends telling me to do Facebook. So I finally did. I really have no clue what I am doing or how the thing works, but I have it. So now you can find me there. So do it! :)

I think I need to stop listening to the peer pressure I'm getting!

Today...

I turn 30.

How I really feel about it? Not sure. Hasn't really hit me beacuse this weekend is our Columbus Light The Night walk and so work has been really busy.

Will I really think or act differently like some people say?
Will I become more focused on my future?
Will I still act like a goofy 12-year-old?
Will I have different priorities?

My vote is for the third one.... Who knows what this year of 30 will bring or what the next 30 will bring. I'm up for just about anything.

Oh Man.... 30.....

So my friend Autumn decided to start the week of my 30th birthday off with quite a bang. She convinced me we were going bowling for her birthday (Oct 7th). About half way through the one game she left to take a phone call on her cell phone which I thought was really odd. A few minutes later she came in with....... wait for it.......a SINGING ELVIS. He had balloons and sang. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Totally embarassing, let me tell you. I could hardly hear what he was saying because we were all laughing so hard. He sang Happy Birthday and You Are My Sunshine, I think. The whole thing was priceless and I have never laughed so hard in my life. The best is going to be getting her back....

Exciting News!

Fatty & Ashley are officially engaged! He proposed yesterday morning before they went away for the weekend to San Antonio. The best part is she was totally taken off guard. Even that morning Kyle had lied to get her out of the house to run errands. When she came back she got mad at him because she had stuff in her hands and he wouldn't open the front door for her. Ha! As soon as she got in the house, saw the flowers she dropped it all anyway and went looking for Kyle who was out in the backyard waiting. :)

A few months ago, maybe August, I helped Kyle pick out a ring over the internet. We talked for a few hours about it and later that weekend when he was at the store he called me again to talk about buying it. Originally he wasn't looking to buy one but a few things fell into place and it just made sense. When I went down over the summer we went and got it, Ash was out of town at the time. We, mostly Kyle, had her totally convinced that he did not have the money with the down economy, Hurricane Ike and other stuff. We really laid it on the weekend I was there. Kyle had even brought the ring home to show mom and dad and took it to her parents the weekend they went to the Notre Dame game. She had no idea.

I'm happy Kyle has found someone he can click so well with. Ashley is great and I get along really well with her. She makes Fatty happy and they fit so it's a great thing. Poor Ashley, now she's stuck forever. :)

So It's October....

That means on the 17th I turn 30. I'm not sure how I feel about it or how I should feel. It's not that I have a problem hitting this milestone, I guess I'm just wondering what it should mean if anything and how my life should, will or won't change. 30...... hm......
