Friday Night Shenanigans

Fridays on a three day weekend taste so much sweeter than most. They are always great nights even if you are running errands and driving long distances. On this particular Friday, I got to spend a lot of time with Jason, see Amy, and my brothers got into town! Work was great because I got off a few hours early and I got to take a nap (the first one since I have been home from school). The events of the night included; taking Kate shopping, going to the Burbank Airport to pick up Tim (Amy's bf), and delivering him to Amy. She lives in Ridgecrest which is about 2 and a half hours from here. So, I offered my services and said that I would deliver him to her in Santa Clarita because that is a little less than half way for me. I, being a social person, did not want to go by myself so I asked Kate to go and she needed to go shopping first so it worked out really well; Tim's plane landed at 8:30 so we could go to the mall for a few hours. As I was planning my day out that morning, I realized that Jason was only going to be in town for a week and I had not seen him very much so I decided to ask him to come with me as well. So, the evening started with shopping for board shorts and bras (don't worry Jason was not present for the bra shopping). Then, we got to the airport early and I had time to circle the airport 5 times before Tim got out to the curb. After we picked him up, I headed for the on ramp to the 5 North, I realized after driving for a few minutes that I only knew where the on ramp for the 5 South was from the airport so I tried having Jason tell me where to go but that did not go over so well so I ended up driving around for at least 15 minutes until I decided that I was just going to go over to the mall and the AMC 16 movie theater and get on the freeway over there. So, needless to say Tim was a little worried about California Drives. We finally got to our meeting destination; none other than . As a first timer to California, it was a must on the to do list. So, we met Amy and their reunion was an awkward one. They had not seen each other in two months and this weekend was going to determine a lot. Well, it was getting kind of late and it had been raining on and off so I decided we better head back. The drive home was a good one. Kate fell asleep in the back and Jason and I had the chance to have a great talk. Once I got home I got to see my brothers! Yeah for long drives, good food, and best friends!

The Trip that wasn't meant to be

As some of you know, I had a planned a trip to go to Hawaii. I was going with my best friends and we had the tickets for almost a year. Two weeks before the departure, I find out that the airlines we were flying declared bankruptcy; Aloha Airlines had gone under. I was devastated. We did all we could to get a refund from them so that we could schedule another flight. Well, as fate would have it, two days later the other airlines we were flying also declared bankruptcy; ATA Airlines bit the dust. It was a sad and tragic day. We were no longer going to Hawaii and we did not have refunds for our airplane tickets. Well, we were going with my roommate and her family and her parents became my heroes; they planned a whole new trip in two days! They paid for everything! The deal for Hawaii was that we needed to get ourselves there and they would cover all the other costs. Well, we did not get refunds and they felt terrible so they paid for our new airplane tickets! We had the pleasure of going to Hilton Head Island off the coast of South Carolina. It was not Hawaii but it was still amazing and it was absolutely gorgeous! A week on the beach at a beautiful resort with the sun shining was exactly what we wanted. The best part was that there was no snow! After spending the winter in Rexburg, Idaho I could not have asked for anything better. This trip to Hilton Head was not suppose to happen but I could not have asked for a better trip with my three best friends!

This is the Beginning

So I am sitting at work and Ashley says we should start a blog. Well, little did she know that I had already created one but I never put up any posts. I crated this blog because it seemed that everyone around me was making one; Josh and Aubrey, Christa, Ashley, and even Ashley's boyfriend. So, here I am....typing...on my blog. I am at work and bored out of my mind. There is not much for any of us to do because the partners of the company have all been gone and tax season just ended; we are in a lull. So, I sit here all day blogging, reading, facebooking, emailing, watching music videos and anything else I can think of to occupy the nine hours a day that I am at work. Don't get me wrong, I love my job! I love the people I work with, the good food we get, the fact that it is only fifteen minutes from my house, and the easy going atmosphere. And, to be honest, it is not that bad getting paid to do anything but work. The only down side to this whole situation is boredom. I can't stand being bored for more than two hours a day! Oh well...at least I have a job and I love it. Yeah for another day of work. :)
