Um

When I can't think of something to write about I like to look for old photos. So let me go find some.my computer's being dumb. i'll post more later. for now, this is a photo of my hubby on the trip we took to elope in May of 2003.

Hooray for Friends!

One of my favorite things about being in the Sacramento area is meeting family and friends of my husband's. Tonight we tried to make it to a birthday party for some kids of Joam's old youth pastor. We, semi-unfortunately made it there late. But the good thing about it was that we got to hang out with them all to ourselves! (:

I am very blessed to now know the Hartman family and to have gotten to love them as if I've always known them.

(I'll post pictures later)

Fun times

Happy Birthday to Selen and Harah, as I like to call them. (:

this is cool

instead of emailing, i think it's cool to post these questionnaires. That way people can post their own if they want or not. (: Sorry for the weird formatting, I'm too lazy right now to go and fix it all. lol

My Cousin is Going to have Surgery

If you have facebook, here's a group to join:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=26918852125&ref=nf

My cousin, Joshua Dean, is going in for surgery on Sept 3 and I wanted to stop and ask that for those of you that do, please pray for him. Specifically for peace as he is going in.

The only photo I have of him and I is one from Thanksgiving 2006. We look retarded but I was running around the house getting people to do funny stuff with me. So he's making a silly face and I'm eating some food. (:

Joshua has Osteogenisis Imperfecta. I'm not sure what type, but I think it's one of the lower ones. He's having some surgery in/on his rib cage to make room for his growing organs. He seems to be in good spirits but it's still very scary.
Did you ever see that movie Unbreakable with Bruce Willis? Well, it's that same thing that Samuel Jackson's character had. It's just that the guy in the movie didn't have it as bad. I actually have three cousins with it, J.C., Joshua, and Nathan. J.C. and Joshua have the same type, I think. And Nathan is more like the guy in the movie.

My birthday was awesome!

My birthday was Saturday, August 2nd but it started WAY before that!

On Thursday night during our Card Makers Anonymous class they brought cupcakes and purple-tinis. My friend got me Connect 4!
On Friday, my friend bought me lunch... Panda Express and another friend gave me one of those books with weird pictures of cats. I love it!
Friday night my mom-in-law took me (and hubby) to Chili's in Lodi where we met up with father-in-law, grandma-in-law, aunt-in-law, cousin-in-law, cousin-in-law's baby, cousin-in-law's baby's daddy. (: Much fun. The waiter even came out singing with a shake "the bad news is you're getting older, the good news is the shake is free!" Then we all went back to mom-in-law's house to play SingStar.
Saturday morning me and hubby headed for Fresno for the Bountiful Babes pool party at my cousin's house. Lots of fun. I have some photos:
the bountiful babes!
My aunt Nina and me
Us doing our cannon balls!
my cousin's cool water feature
our cute cabana boy!

There's more but I'll be back....
