Just Stuff

So these next couple weeks are going to be crazy. We are getting a puppy on Saturday on our way home to visit the fam for a week. When we get back to Cali we will be packing up our apartment and sending Kamas off. Not really looking forward to that. Things have been pretty quite here. I should be packing things up and getting ready for our trip home, but once I start it will make it all seem too real. I keep thinking that I have done this before it shouldn't be as hard as the first time. One posative thing is that Kam is not as stressed as he was last year because he knows whats going on and what he needs to pack. That makes things easier. The days are going by way too fast. Anyway time to stop feeling sorry for my self and do what needs to be done.


p.s. I made mini blueberry muffins one morning and I was very proud of them

Valentines Weekend




Last weekend Kam's friends Matt, Kendall, and Wacey came to visit us.They stayed from Friday to Monday. They wanted to see Kam before he leaves. They stayed with us in out tiny apartement. It was pretty fun and not nearly as bad as I thought it would be sharing a bathroom with four boys. We did some fun stuff, the first night they were here we went to a movie and out to eat. We went to Ruby's that is on the end of the pier. However it was raining and it is a long walk so we all were soaked.




Saturday morining Kam woke up early and went to the store to get me flowers for Valentines, then we went to an indoor go-cart place and raced each other. That was a lot of fun because the go-carts go 40-45 mph. I threatened the boys with bodily harm if they bumbed me while we were racing. They avoided me. We ate lunch and BS'ed for and hour and a half. Later that day we went to visit our Aunt and Uncle, we talked to them for a few hours and ate pizzia with them. Needless to say it wasn't that romantic, so this weekend we are going on a late Valentines date.






Sunday they boys decided to put a leveling kit on Kam's truck. There is a place on base that will let you use tools and a lift for $5 an hour. They are all mechanics so they said it would take only 20 minutes. That was a lie it took 2 and a half hours! I occasonaly ran the lift but most of the time I had nothing to do but wait. But they finally got it on and so far the truck hasn't fallen apart.
Monday we didn't do much. Wacey wanted to go to Arbys the whole time they were here so we finally went on Monday. We stopped at the Mall for a few minutes and just hung out at the Apartment untill they left. So hopefully everyone had a good time.

Things I will not do In 2009

I am stealing this Idea from a random blog that I happened upon today. I have no idea who these people were. Sometimes I just rummage through the blogging world and see what is out there. Anyway back to the list, instead of making new years resoultions these are things I will not be doing:

  1. Give up Dr. Pepper, sometimes it is the only thing that will make me happy
  2. Exorsising daily, It may happen a few times a week or not at all and I am ok with that
  3. Stop reading for 2+ hours a day, I love it
  4. Stop saying Damit, I believe it is the least offensive swear word and I like to say it
  5. Learn to drive on the 5, for those of you who don't live in Cali, it is 8 lanes of craziness
  6. Stop threating my husband with bodily harm, I like to think I am tough
  7. Stop eating at the drive-in
  8. Worryin about my spellin errors on my blog
  9. Learn to text with both thumbs, it is re-donk-u-las
  10. Stop eating bread
  11. Deleat my myspace page, even though I hardly ever update things on it

This is way better than having to follow a list of things to do.

Pros and Cons of Living by a Marine Corps Base

Cons

  1. Living so far away from family ( this has been revised thanks to Emily)
  2. The traffic is rediculous
  3. You hear helicopters at lest once every hour
  4. Every once in a while a helicopter sounds like it is going to land on the roof of your apartment
  5. Then the car alarms go off and if this happens in the middle of the night it takes forever for people to turn them off
  6. There really is no excuse not to go to the gym because it it free
  7. You have to show you ID at the gate
  8. You never know your neighboors because people move every few months
  9. The commisary is always busy no matter what time of day

Pros

  1. You can go to the gym for free
  2. You can shop on base
  3. The commisary is tax free
  4. You never know your neighboors because they move every few months
  5. The Exchange
  6. Most Christmas shoppin can be done on base
  7. It is the only place in California that people actually obey the speed limit
  8. People think it is cool

Feel free to comment and yes I realize that I used some of the reasons twice

Batting Cages and Miniture Golf







We have recently discovered an amazing new place called Boomers. It has go-carts, miniture golf, batting cages, arcaed games, and lazer tag. We first went there last weekend with Brittney and TJ and played Mini golf. I was awesome and got 2 holes in one. Yes, I am that good. Then we went to the go-carts and Kamas asked if I wanted to drive and I told "sure" aparently he didn't think I would want to and was just asking to be nice. Needless to say I sat in the passanger seat and Kamas drove. Then I spotted the batting cages. I was really excited because I love to play softball. Kam and I decided to hit a few. However I didn't read the sign and I was trying to hit a baseball at 70 mph with a 20 pound bat. The girl at the counter must have thought that I was freakishly strong. I am not. It was fun and the next day I was really sore. Then on Monday Kamas gets home from work and after about an hour he decides he is board and wants to go back to Boomers to the batting cages. This time I read the sign for softball and had a normal sized bat. But it was slow pitch softball. Anyway it was fun to go out and do something different for a change.

Superbowl Sunday!

This is Beast, I drove his car.
Today we went to our friends house to watch the superbowl. It was the people that Kamas works with in his shop. We were suppose to be there at noon sharp but we were a little late. I took Oreo dessert and everyone loved it. They loved it so much that there was a small fight for the last piece. The BBQ chicken was the best I have ever had. It was a good time to hang out and watch the comercials. The game wasn't too bad either. The high light of the night was when I drove a convertable owned by a big black man named Beast. He had partaken in alcholic beverages so I was the DD. It was a pretty awesome day.
