Heroes rocks!

If I didn't have a job, I would watch Heroes on DVD all day long! Love this show and I just started watching it on Monday!

No NFL Kickoff weekend for me....

So I signed up for DirecTV through Qwest at my new house as Comcast does not offer service on the block where I live. The installation appointment was scheduled for today between 8:00 a,m. and 12:00 p.m. I leave work early to go home to wait for Mr. Installer and guess what? HE WENT TO THE WRONG ADDRESS!!! Instead of calling my cell phone as instructed when I placed my order, they called my work phone and left a message. I'm obviously not at work as I am home sitting on my couch waiting for him to come to my HOUSE!!! I checked my voicemail messages from my cell phone and got the message that he had knocked on the door and no one answered. Really?! I'm sitting right there looking out the window for 3 hours and not ONE PERSON came up my stairs! He must be invisible or something. I call the lady at Ironwood Communications back and she tells me that they can reschedule the appointment for September 9th. THAT'S NEXT TUESDAY! I said some very mean things about her company and their service and then I hung up and called DirecTV to let them know how bad these people suck. The lady at DirecTV was very nice but wasn't able to help me out. The 9th is the soonest we can have cable. I guess I get to watch my Redskins with the rabbit ears that Jana has. At least that's an option. Otherwise, I would be at the bar by myself with my Sean Taylor jersey on. Go SKINS!

Finally moved in!

We got all of our stuff moved in on Saturday. Thanks to my dad and brother for lifting the heavy stuff and to my mom and sister-in-law for their help as well! We have been trying to get everything put away and it's taking forever because we get easily distracted. We have all of our living room furniture put where we want it and most of our kitchen is put away. The last and hardest thing is getting the stuff in our rooms put where we want it. That's going to take some time, but we will get it done soon.

Boxes, boxes, EVERYWHERE!

I am in the process of packing up my apartment to move about 15 miles north of where I am now. This is the view from my bed:

Not a good sight if you need to get from the bed to, well, anywhere else! These will be gone in less than 48 hours so I guess it's something I can deal with them until then! Yay for moving!!

10 long years ago....

10 years ago, I had just graduated high school and thought I was sooo ready to get out of Fillmore and never look back! We had our 10 year reunion this last weekend and it's so hard to imagine how I EVER thought at 17 that I was ready for the real world! Here are some pictures from my glory days in high school, followed by a few pics from our reunion this past weekend.

Family Reunion Time!!

This Saturday, we had a family reunion for my dad's immediate family. There are only 4 kids in his family, but it seems as we have all gotten older, we don't see each other very often. Everyone was able to come and we had a good time. I got to see a cousin that I haven't seen in over 3 years! There are 9 grandkids and 7 great-grandkids in all. Here are some pictures from the big event.

L to R: Front Row: Brandon, Sandy, Austin, Jesse, Brynlee, TJ, Cindy, Heagan, Bowdy

Back Row: Steven Halle (sideways), Marilee, Alisca, Josh, Ashley, Ben, Boston, Shea, Kristen, Mark, and Matt

Boston had so much fun playing in the rocks

Brynlee and Jesse did water balloons for a while, but these bottles were more fun for some reason!

Brynlee and Jesse after their waterfight. I had to wrap them like burritos so they could get warm!

Even Ben and Josh got in on the swing action.

I guess I'm it.....

20 Years Ago...
1. I was almost 8.

10 Years Ago...
1. I was almost 18.
2. I was working at Duanes during my summer before college. We had a lot of fun that summer before everyone went their separate ways...
3. I really glad my only brother survived his accident.
5 Years Ago...
1. I was almost 23.
2. I was in the midst of my 3 week stint at Blockbuster Video.
3. I was going to Pharmacy Technician "school" and mourning the fact that Andrew had to move back home to Vegas for good.
2 Years Ago..
1. I was almost 26.
2. I was working for the same place I do now.
3. I was amazed at how my sister-in-law could chase a toddler and hold an infant all day long and not lose her mind.
1 Year Ago...
1. I was almost 27.
2. I was looking for new roommates, I'm sure. (story of my life...)
3. I was (and still am) dating a wonderful man.
So Far This Year I...
1. Have been saving money and paying down debts.
2. Have had so many roommates, it's amazing I call them by the right names.

Yesterday I...
1. Wanted to quit my job (until I got my raise, that is).
2. Ate at delicious Cafe Rio with my co-worker.
3. Had a heart-to-heart with one of my favorite roommates.
Today I...
1. Went to dinner with TWO guys (just friends, but still....).
2. Got my nails done for my mini-vacation.
3. Stayed up way too late blogging about my life 20, 10, 5, 2, and 1 years ago.
Tomorrow I...
1. Will have lunch with Mikey.
2. Will pack for Vegas.
3. Will get to work on time (probably not).
I tag: anyone who hasn't yet done this and has a burning desire to do so.
