Busy Weekend

* Going to Busch Gardens on Friday! The weather turned out to be quite awesome. To make things even better, I picked up my phone Friday morning and noticed a voicemail that I had missed Thursday evening, and listened to it to discover that Adam wanted to do something Friday or Saturday and suggested Busch Gardens on Friday evening. What a coincidence!?!? I met him there, as well as 4 other people, so it was a lot of fun.

* Laura's Bday party. After Busch Gardens, we went to Laura's bday party at a really nice house on a winding river. I hung out there and chatted with people until about 1am and then headed for home.

* Getting outside to ride my bike for about an hour on Saturday. It was good to get some exercise and I felt like I could have gone further if I wanted to, so maybe I will next time. I needed the exercise and bike riding is much more controlled than jogging. (There is fast pace and medium...jogging only has 1 real not awkward speed)

* Playing Ultimate on Sunday! I had much more endurance than the previous week, which is really good because it was 3 on 3. I am guessing it was due to my bike ride yesterday, and the exercise was paying off. I will have to do that more often.

House Party

* Hanging out playing catch with a softball and frisbee at Yorktown
beach for a little bit in the evening

* Going to the WEC House Party, getting cheesecake from the cheesecake
factory :) and signing up for a community group! That makes me
officially plugged into the church the only 2 ways possible

* Finishing season 3 of "The Office"

* Making plans to go to Busch Gardens :)

70 and partly cloudy

* Another lazy evening watching episodes of "The Office"

* Driving home with the windows rolled down because it was the perfect weather out

* Leaving the windows in my apartment open all evening and getting the perfect balance of breeze and temp

* Finally getting text messaging! (Hopefully I don't run over!)

The Office

* Relaxing and watching many episodes of "The Office" in the evening

* Getting an electric bill approximately half of what the last one was :)

* An end to the days of rain. I liked the rain while it was raining,
yet was glad to see it stop too

Chicago!!

* A fun business trip to Chicago! The trip was a lot of fun and had its own full set of positives. The flights were ALL on time (amazing!), the weather was awesome (the first days over 70 that they had had in 140 days (I heard that on the tv)), I didn't get eaten by a cougar (always a plus! don't forget that!), experiencing another non-lethal earthquake, a really nice hotel, getting authentic Chicago deep dish pizza, getting an authentic Chicago hot-dog, eating at Chipotle, a relaxed work portion of the trip, and much much more!! It was an all around fun trip.

* A neighbor helping me out when I was trying to back out of a parking spot and couldn't see out my back window. They were nice enough to point out an oncoming car that was nearly impossible to see. Neighbors being neighborly :)

* Successfully (mostly!) running the Wee World tech all by myself without any real training! There was only one minor technical glitch that I wouldn't have been able to fix, but I kept on top of all the mics, etc.

* Seeing the monuments in DC on my way back from Chicago from the airplane/airport.

* Only ONE MORE MONTH until Tara, Angela, and Andrew arrive!! Its also LESS than a month until Sean's Wedding :) Oh, yeah and Rebekah's wedding too :-P

The Sound of Silence...and others

* the sound of: the rain on the car, the air past the car, the relaxing blinker, splashing puddles beneath the tires. It was also nice to have some near silence in a noise filled world

* 2 hours of ultimate Frisbee for the first time in a month! I had a ton of fun doin what I could to get points, even diving for it.

* Learning how to do the "Wee World" tech job at WEC...I had learned a bit of the "Kids Kraze" last week, so now I'm getting closer to actually potentially starting training.

New Shows

* Hanging out in the evening watching The Office and Scrubs at
Alicia's house. I had never seen a full episode of The Office before
and it was pretty funny. It was also the first time I hung out with a
lot of those people outside of Starbucks on Sunday evenings.

* Driving home from work with the windows down and sunroof open! It
warmed up perfectly and became a really nice day.

* A really cool fog in the morning on the way to work. Granted it
makes it harder to drive, but the fog was really neat.
