I love the beach!

This last week has been fun!!

So on Monday, Adam came home and told everyone that they were gonna go to the Beach for a long weekend. Then he said to me that i get a free long weekend all by myself..and i dont know what my face was doing but it most of had a longing for the beach because after a few seconds he said, "Well i mean unless you wanna come with us?" Then i had todo the whole, Well that would be fun but i dont wanna impose sorda thing. But they all seemed fine with it and he said there was an extra bed so it wasnt a big deal i would just have to share a room with the girls. Witch i could careless lol 

So my short work week just got way better. Then on Tuesday i got to skype with a bunch of people..i got to see Mom and Gma I...i got to see Pam Rowland and i got to see a couple other people it seems. Anyway i also got my big box of candy from mommy that i am already making a big dent in. lol 

Then on Wednesday Kerry picked me up after i dropped the girls off and we were headed for the beach!! Her in-laws have a beach house about 45 min away and its right on the Avolon beach.  So we thought we would head up there and have some lunch! When we got there it was perfect weather and awsome veiw!!

So we stayed there all afternoon and let the boys play around on the rocks and i had to at least jump in it was my first Australian beach encounter.  But the water was FREEZING!!  All the beaches have a man made rock pool..for kids or just so the waves arnt to high, so we went swimming in there.  Then we went home and i got the girls and that was that.  When we got home Pip had stayed home from work and everything was ready togo for the Beach House, and i had to pack.

Thursday morning we all got up and got everything together and Adam had to see if everything would fit in the car and we were off by 9am, It  took a little over an hour of a drive to get there. The town is called Avoca.  Just a tiny tiny beach town right in the Central Coast.  So when we got there we unloaded and set up the house and had a look around and then we were off to the beach..witch was just a tiny path away!

This was our view!

So we stayed out there pretty much the whole day..going from laying on the beach to playing in the water...building sand castles....finding shells and me trying to catch the crabs. Me and Adam jumped off some rocks witch was fun!  It was pretty nice.  Then at night after the girls were in bed we would watch a movie and drink..just like home!! lol

The next day was awesome..we woke up and went and got a coffee and then off to the beach bright and early....the tide was way out so we could go way out and found some pretty awesome shells. I almost got my crab..when it snuck under a rock i put my hand down there and all i heard was a loud loud snapping sound so i looked in there and there was the hugest crab ever...sooo scary so i stopped lol   We pretty much did the same thing just hang out on the beach. The girls covered me up with sand so that i could be a mermaid. After that i realized i was gonna have sand EVERYWHERE all weekend long. lol

I went way out into the waves just to splash around and farther in there was a midge..i pretended like i was watching the girls but i was just watching her and totally eavesdropping into her and her friends convo lol and she was all, "these waves are gettting really really big"  when i was out double what she was and i was still touching when the waves would come lol but ya Friday was awesome because it reached like 32° (89°) i even got a little bit burnt!

Saturday when we woke up was kinda overcast and not very warm so we decided to go for a drive to some of the little near by towns. The one we wended up stopping in was The Entrance..i was so weirded out by the name that every place we went into or that i saw a sign  that said " Entrance here" i was like im going into the entrance in The Entrance lol sooo weird anyway we stopped and had coffee and it was perfect timing because it start to drizzle and as were sitting there in this big courtyard under an awning we saw about 4 or 5 people fall lol it was pretty funny i was trying not to laugh to hard lol

Then there was this ghetto little carnival that had 3 rides, and so the girls went on those and it was cute!  By the time we got back ot had started to clear up a bit so we went our for a walk along the beach.  When we started to head back i noticed there was a bunch of people standing around...when we got closer i saw that it was a wedding and they were all taking pictures...so of course i wanna be in the background of their pictures so when we get right in front of them i start posing in the background or i waved...i was cracking up at myself...Pip thought it was pretty funny too. SO some random people may or may not have me in the background of their wedding pictures  lol

That night it start down pouring rain....and it didn't stop until Sunday night.

So Sunday morning when we woke up it was just dumping buckets of rain, so we just packed up and went home. It was so funny though when Adam went to load up the car he couldnt get it very close to the house soo he had to run back and forth in the rain and he put on his cozzie just because it was sooo wet....so as hes trying to load the car fast and ends up being all klutzy, dropping things..Pip and me just are inside cracking up at how funny he looks lol  

So when we get home its to late for me to get ready and go to meeting so i called mom and got to talk to her and Sean and Dad. Then i got ready and Aylce came and got me, because they were having a surprise "start pioneering" party for Rachel. Well it was pretty much just a bbq with all the usual people that we all hang out with.  So that was fun. We had dinner and then dessert and then some of us played cards and some watched a movie.  There is this card game called 500 and it was my first time playing and i beat everyone lol it was pretty much like "Oh Rats" except you have partners or you can do some other things. So that lasted all night, i didn't get home until around 1am.

Monday was fine..nothing to exciting...i started loosing my voice and i wasnt feeling to good...so that made it worse when Imogen was being all crazy cause i couldnt get my point across when i couldnt talk ugh..but it all ended up ok. Its so funny Madeline is turning into a mini me.

So that was my fun weekend and i did have alot of fun!

Some things that are weird about Australia though is:

Almost every restaurant is BYOA...Bring Your Own Alcohol. So everyone shows up with big bags of Alcohol or a couple bottles of wine or somthing lol I have never seen anyone order drinks...or places don't really have drink menus.

Everyone is so proper or at least trys to be and no that that's a bad thing..i just feel bad for the younger people. Like they are all "Oh we need to have hor dourves and then we can have out cup of tea" like

why cant we just have chips and a pop or something. Or if someone does bring chips..."Oh we need to get that in a bowl."  Why cant we all just share out of the bag? its just everything has to be just so. And these are teenagers talking. Also just the things they eat are def more cultured i guess.

Some movie tittles are changed so they make more sense to Australian's i guess. One example is "13 going on 30 "  they call it "Suddenly 30"  sooo weird.

There were a few more things that i thought were weird but i don't remember them..oh well

BLUE

So after falling off the chair and hurting myself i had a sore bum all week and still have a nasty bruise thats going through its brown yellow stage..yuck. The girls watched in shock when i made my fall and saw how my butt instantly bruised so they keep asking to see my sore bum.  Anyway this week i was working with the girls on the letter "B" and after practicing writing it a few times i asked them whats some words that start with B..so they thought about it and they were saying, Banana.....Balloon....Baby.....Barbie.....Bunny....then Madeline looks over at me and smiles and yells out..."Your BIG BLUE BUM!!! I started cracking up and she thought she was soooo funny...so then she had to tell mom and dad all about my Blue Bum, when they got home from work.

Then on Wednesday my friend Kerry picks me up from the girls school and we either go get some Coffee or she has been taking me to random places I probably would go if I didn’t have a car. SO this week we got our coffees and went to Fagen park it’s a Huge park about 15 min drive from Castle Hill . Its out in a town that’s very country ..very small townish ..with just a few shops so its nice and quiet. It has a big park and historical museum thing there too…anyway so her little boy Val had to go the bathroom so I took him and on our way back we saw this fur thing that looked a bit bloody and he got sooo excited and wanted to bring it back to his mom but I just got a stick and started poking at it and then these 2 girls in their 20’s came up and is all “What is that???” all disgusted and I was like “I don't know looks like a squirrel tail.” They looked at me and then they looked at each other and then the one girl looks at me and all says..”Whats a squirrel??” hahah all I could do was laugh, I forgot there wasn’t any squirrels around lol so we left deciding it was rabbit fur of some sort but I thought the whole situation was pretty funny.

Friday I went a saw a movie at the theater…and I had forgotten to tell Pip to get me a ticket, because she get discounted tickets through her work. I had to pay $18 bucks to get into the dumb movie. Its crazy cause they have regular movies for $18 and then IMAX for $21 and then there is gold class for $25 and I have no clue what the difference is I just go for ther cheapest one lol Its still weird to me that they have assigned seating too and most people stick with it. After that I just went home cause I had to gfet up early the next morning.

The next morning was my trip to the Blue Mountains, of witch I completely invited myself oh well it was fun!! There was supposed to be a group of about 15 people going but it ended up just being a couple and Matt (guy who I met once briefly and totally invited myself with lol) and me. Im glad I got togo though because everyone says “You HAVE to see the Blue Mountains if your in Austrailia” so I figured this was my chance. It took about an hour drive there and once we got into the town , we went and got coffee and then headed to the state park. When we pulled up and parked I was soooo confused…I looked around and I did not see a single mountian…..where are we supposed to go hiking? Where is this huge mountain range everyone has been warning me not to get lost in because the chopper wont be able to find you?? Where are all these mountains?? I asked them and they just looked at me like I was weird and said wait til we walk over to the lookout. I was like oh ok.

　

　

Then we get there and I like ohhhhhhhhhh I get it I get it! Lol but I still think it should be called the Blue Cannon or the Blue Valley …they arnt quite mountains..at least to the ones im used too. So we look on the map and see what trail were gonna take..we pick the 5-6 hour trail, witch I can handle!! We start walking at it is awesome..there is waterfalls and cliffs and caves and crazy trees and super annoying birds. It was really cool!! The girl I was with was all up for taking lots of pictures of me and everything but then I felt dumb that I was in every picture all by myself lol So after about 2 ½ hours we were at the very bottom and found a beautiful waterfall to have lunch in front of. Matt fell in witch serves him right because he was showing off, but I took off my shoes and got in just because how could I not. It wasn’t cold to me , but they thought it was freezing but then they are used to warm water and im not lol As we started going again I was leading the pack and going fast…on and off the trail!! When we made it back to the other part of the mouintain we thought we were making awesome timing, then we had to go up…..this part not so fun!! A full hour if not maybe a little more of straight up stairs..that went on and on and on. It sucked big time!! All the people that were just starting their hike and all happy going down the stairs (like we were) I kept warning them…“its worse going up“…“don’t go to far down”… they all just looked at me all crazy..whatev. Got home that night about 6 :30 - 7 and was pooped. Alex was gone and Pip said he went to go get Alex to watch a movie. When they got back home they, were in the kitchen all talking and brought home a big thing of beers and were just getting snacks or whatev and then Adam comes over to the Lounge and is all surprised that im there..and yells back to Alex, “Lyndsey is here….now we have someone to drink with” Then they all got excited…I think they think of me as a buddy!

Sunday I slept inn and in the mourning felt fine…..until I tried to step down the stairs. My calves were sooo sore!! But I got over the pain..or maybe just used to it and just hung out!! Then went to meeting and then back home. When we all sat down for dinner Adam was shocked because Madeline wanted to sit next to me! He said, “They have never choose a nanny over me” lol then it iwas a bit akward cause I didn’t know what to say lol but it was all good! Adam had told me that he was gonna take Friday off to spend with the girls so I would get a long weekend..so I was trying to think what I would do!!

Monday rolls around and Imogen is being a beast!!! About everything!!! She got put in the corner 3 times and sent up to her room once! Just crying about nothing and yelling and coming up with every excuse not todo something..got kinda annoying, and I feel bad because I am dealing with her being all crazy and Madeline just has to sti there and wait for me to deal with her before she can do whatev or even hear it. But then later in the afternoon we went to Kerrys witch was good to get out of the house and they LOVE Val so they were being good. After we got home we ate dinner and had the shower and then when mom came home they were happy as clowns…then came the stickers!! I do this thing where every night they get a sticker when mom and dad get home….a big one if they have been good..small one if they had some issues and then they flat out don’t get one if they were bad. And to them stickers are the best thing in the entire world!! So Madeline comes in and gets her sticker and then Imogen comes in and demands her sticker and I tell her she was way to naughty today and no way is she getting a sticker! She freaks out!! Shes is fallowing me around pawing at me and mumbling “Sticker…sticker” and I keeo telling her no and no and no and she wont leave me alone so I goto my room and shut the door. (the rule is if my door is shut not to come in) So when I shut it she opens it and is all “STICKER” and does this like 10 times and I tell her to stop and she doesn’t and then she starts getting so mad that she hits my hand when I try to close the door. (Meantime Pip is upstairs changing) So I pick her up and take her to the corner and she freaks out!! And starts yelling and crying!! I tell her that even though mom is home I can still put her in the corner and she looks shocked! So I said when she stops crying and tells me sorry she can come out. 10 min later Pip comes down and is all “What is you deal? And why are you in the corner?” So I tell the deal and so she leaves her there and then she tries to sneak out and be all nice but Pip is persistant that she says sorry to me, and she wont so she makes her go to bed!! Witch I was pretty surprised because Pip usally lets stuff slide but whatev she was being a brat lol So that’s how my day was! Then Adam comes home and says that we are going to a Beach House for the weekend!! Leaving Thursday morning..woo hooo!!! Im excited!!

Then today I got to Skype with Pam Rowland..Mommy and Gma I and my friend Brice!! AAAANNDDD I got my care package mommmy sent me filled with CANDY!! ♥♥♥♥ Im soo happy!! Hannah was soo right when she said I am picky about my junk food and candy and it would be hard for me!! Cause I totally am lol But mommy knew what I liked! I asked Adam if he had any Redvines or Hot Tomales and a few others and he never has…..I cant belive people go through life without having yummy candy!! Well they are in for a treat!! J

`“Best Nanny Yet”

　
　

So this week the sun was out and I was loving every minute of it. You know how everyone says “Oh watch out for the sun down there yadda yadda…” I had no clue why it was a big deal but then when im down here I realize the sun is just sooooo intense. It could be cold and raining but if the sun comes out and shines on you , your like hot instantly its just intense heat. But it feels wonderful compared to inside the house. Witch is freezing still….Not as bad though. But this last week the girls and me have been outside almost all day just because it feels soo good, its perfect temp of 25° lol

On Wednesday it was so funny because the girls were at Kindy and I was home and I was sitting out in the back in the sun reading and Adam came home from work and was all “Hello?” and I was like “Oh hi!” and he looked at me and started laughing. He said, “You must live such a hard life…laying in the sun and getting paid for it…I wish I could do that” I don’t have to do anything on Wed but I did feel a little guilty until he was like…”Just wait til summer then I will be really jealous of you cause you get to be in the pool all day” So then I was like whatev..hahahanah then he comes and gives me $50 just because he was feeling generous I guess. J The girls are so funny..Imogen is like bi-polar and can be the happiest kid in the world and not care about a thing I say or ask her todo and then 2 min later its like the end of the world. Then Madeline will come out of nowhere and be like, “I’m not crying like Imogen, because Im a good girl and im gonna help clean up..but can I have a lolly?” Shes sooo sneaky, but she really likes me and is perfect for me pretty much everyday so its hard not to pick sides lol

On Thursday night I watch a show called Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year..where these 2 Australian guys are in NY and do all these funny funny things, and then they are going around to all 50 states and doing some activity in it. So this week they went to WA state and I was like woah coolio..I wonder what they are gonna do?? They end up in Lind, WA witch is in the middle of nowhere and they are going to be in a Combine Derby. As im watching this Im thinking didn’t Britnie and Branden and Jared and all them go to the Combine Derby this summer??? So the shows goes on and they are interviewing all these retarded redneck people and make WA look completely retarded. So then this Andy guy gets into the tractor and does the thing and he get completely demolished…by this bright blue tractor that says “Reese & Emerson” on it…my jaw drops as they zoom in on the guy and I remember now that Devon Hamilton is the guy completely smashing him lol I was like NO WAY is it possible on this random show..just aired in Australia I know people..it was the weirdest thing ever.

This weekend I have no clue what anyone did because nobody ever txt me L but that’s ok because I told Kathryn and Alex ( Adams cousin) I would babysit for them Friday night. So she came over and picked Adam and me up and brought us over to their house. On the way over just out of no where Adam was like, “Lyndsey is fantastic” and I was like “OH thanks” lol and then they kept talking about something else but it was so random but nice. There was a few people over there and they all had a drink and then they were all going Ice skating lol Kathryn and Alex have 2 little boys , Will is 3 ½ and then James is 18months. They were both asleep already when we got there so it was really easy. I picked out some movies to watch and I picked Mean Girls cause I love that movie and I lost mine but when they say what I picked Adam and Alex almost didn’t go..they said it was there favorite movie. When they got back it was probably around 11 so not that late but some random friend of theirs was gonna drive us home…so were heading home and Adam just starts going off again how wonderful I am and how I was the “Best nanny yet” and this big city single guy was all “oh cool” it was soo awkward because I was in the back seat but they weren’t talking to me, just about me lol but whatever the compliment made up for it. Then when we get home we had a drink and watched a show and that was that.

I had forgotten to ask someone to pick me up for service Sat morning soo I just slept in. It was nice. I got ready for the day and then went to the mall…nothing else todo. The mall (Towers) is huge and has a big event almost every weekend and not just one a whole bunch of different ones spread through out the whole mall. So when I was there I herd this awful screaming and I walk around the corner and they have a stage and chairs all set up and people were doing Karaoke…was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time lol

So I roamed around..went into random stores. I actually found some really cute stuff….I got a jacket, a summer dress, some flats, and a couple of necklaces and earrings. So I pretty much spent my babysitting money lol Sat night I had scheduled to babysit for Adam and Pip just for about 2 hours so they could go to some dinner thing idk. So I put the girls to bed and watched movies!!

Sunday I slept inn again just because I could..then I watched some cartoons with the girls and just hung out. Sit outside and watch the girls ride their bikes. Then I got ready for meeting and Alyce came and picked me up. Went to meeting everything was fine and dandy. Alyse ditched as soon as meeting was over, she had something todo??? Idk So her parents and sisters took me home. When I got home Kathryn and Alex and the boys were there so I changed….grabbed a glass of bubbly..and sat down in the lounge with them all. At first I wasn’t sure if they wanted to have just there friends thing with out me there but they like me…they kept saying it. Both Adam and Alex have the same immature humor as me so we all get along really well lol they all stayed for dinner and all through the night when whenever Alex when ask me something questionable or start to tell me a story..Adam would be like “NO NO don’t your gonna scare her off” Or he would just put his head down and shake his head. It was really funny. Then of course the whole nanny subject has to come up….witch I don’t see why it does or why it matters but I mean it does boost me ego a bit when they are saying Ive up the ante, that im cooler then “Kim.” Then later that night Adam said, “Lyndsey you can never leave us” and I was like uhhhhh……what are you supposed to say to that lol I think a lot of the time when he says stuff like that hes been drinking but still obviously he means it lol Anyway it was fun. Also Sunday was the 1 year anniversary for Britnie and Branden and i got to say it first because i am a day ahead lol anyway miss and love them, hope they do somthing awesome for it!! ♥

Then this morning everyone (except Pip and me) wake up with stuffy noses and coughs….they weren’t to bad but it got worse as the day went on. So now I am dealing with sick whiny kids lol but its ok , it could be worse. Then this morning I was putting butterfly stickers up on the walls and they were so cute and the girls were sooo happy and then I have no clue what happened but I was on the ground..in a pile of toys. From my fingertips to the top of my foot on my right side are either scraped or bruised….it hurt sooooo bad. The bruise on my butt is pretty much the whole cheek. So that started the day off lovely too. Then I got some ground beef out for dinner and I was gonna make lasagna…..but all the ingredients were gone….Pip must of made something this weekend or idk sooooo then I am trying to see what we have and what im gonna make for dinner…..I was looking online and found a Sheppard’s Pie recipe so I was like ok whatev ill just do this……everything in it except for corn..I hate..I was seriously gagging trying to make this weird thing that I didn’t even know if I was doing it right. Then when Adam and Pip came home, they heated it back up and was like. “ This is soooo good” and just thinking about it makes me gag. Im glad they liked it but uggggghhhhh I don’t see how people like that kinda stuff. Gross.

Kangaroos!!!

                                                           Soo..this was a good week/weekend.

This week was just good...the girls are understanding that i mean business..so they dont mess around with that kinda stuff anymore. I think i am way lax on their eating though..just because the parents have them eating stuff i wouldnt even eat if i got paid for it. But ya everything else about the same, we didnt have meeting this week because it was the District Convention.

 So i just stayed in like every other weeknight and usually watch a movie or a couple shows with Adam and Pip. We are watching this one show called..Farmer want a Wife..and its these 6 farmers all over Australia have 3 girls and do all this dumb farming stuff but its like the Bachelor or something but every week Adam cracks up at me cause i have something to say about everyone and its just really funny.
Pip stayed home 2 days this week and she is starting to talk more and i guess just being more relaxed and open witch is nice, cause when she was so quiet i never know what people are thinking. lol 
 On Wednesday i made Cornflake chicken and biscuits and corn. A few weeks before we were talking about it and Adam couldn't even comprehend having cornflakes on his chicken so i had to prove to them that it wasnt like this weird thing....but the whole time i was making it Pip would come in and look at what i was doing and start laughing because she just thought it was soo strange. Then she came in and asked me what that dough was for and i said Biscuits and she looked at me with the blankest stare and was like "whats that"  and then i probably had the exact same face because i dont know how to describe a biscuit. A biscuit is a biscuit lol sooo then  we talked about it for about an hour and and we think a scone is the closest relation to it. But they liked it so that all good. 
So Friday i just stayed in because everyone was at Convention so i didnt want to bother anyone, and we watched Blades of Glory and Anchorman sooo i thought it was a pretty good night.  It was so funny because in both of those movies Adam thought that some actor was from another movie and i told him he was wrong and he kept bringing it up how he was right and yadda yadda ya and he just kept talking about and talking about it and i was like " No your wrong" and he was like no way am i wrong and so what do i do?? I go to google and do what completely prove him wrong..but i emailed it to him so i will see if he has anything to say about that lol
Then on Sat we went to the Koala park..SOOOOO much fun!!!  It was just a little place and it had just Austailian animals. We got there right when it was opening and soo there was like no one there and first place we went was to see the Koala's....

.....they have about 7 or 8  of them out just sleeping on the trees, and then they have 4 or 5 more around the park like 30 feet up just sleeping..then they switch them out. But every so often they take one and let you pet it and take pictures with.....

.....i felt really bad because once i was all up in the bears face..i said "wow hes really ugly"  and the lady that works there got so mad at me...and i mean from far off ya they are cute but there nose and eyes are really weird looking.
  After that we went and saw the Cockatoos..witch we have just flying around in the neighborhood.
But they are pretty cool up close, and the one could say a few things so that was funny. They are huge..witch is gross.  

Then we went to see the Kangaroo's...this is when i started to get really excited...so you walk into a secure gate and then there just is like 40 kangaroos hanging out, hoping around, just doing whatever.

 Since we got there when it just opened they were all hungry so they would just hop on over and put there little paw on you..like "feed me feed me."  One completely took the bag out of my hang and started eating the paper.

*This is when it took the bag of food out of my hands and shoved it in my his mouth..and me going "HEY"*

But ya like you can see they were just everywhere and would get all up in close to you and so then i thought it would be funny to put my arm around one and take a really cheesy picture...so whenever there was one near me i would all grab it and most of them didnt really like it or would hop away really fast lol  but this is the best shot i could get...

*Best Friends*

Then right in the other side of the fence were the Emu's and they are big birds..i dont like birds!! They are probably about my height if not a little shorter and they wanted the food too...so i braved it and put my hand out there..but its sooo scary cause they all look at it and they look around all shifty and then just peck at your hand so i was kinda freaking out. lol

Then we went to see the Walleroos and the Wallabies and the Wombats...they all kinda look the same the Walleroos are alot smaller..it was sooo cute when we came up on them i started cracking up cause they were all sitting so funny looking....

After that we went and saw the Dingos and all o could say for about 1/2 hour was..

"The Dingo ate my baybay"

I think they stared getting annoyed.

So after that we went back home and they had some friends over for a BBQ....their friends had just gotten a new AuPair and Adam said, "I thought it would be nice for you to meet someone but i did realize you would have a million friends in the first week..and shes not a Jehovah's so if you dont like her..then forget about it."

But the family and the girl was really nice. They live kinda far away so i doubt i will do anything with her...maybe a play date or something. 

So then after they left i i just stayed home and watched movies.

Sunday was fathers day and so i was glad i was gonna be gone all day while they can do there thing...but bright and early around 7:30 Elise came to pick me up for the Convention..i have no clue why we went so early but we were there by 8.  If they want to park in the parking garage at the arena, it cost $80 a day...or else you have to park way out on the street.  The Area was HUGE and had soo many people there..and i knew no one lol well except my hall. But we went and got our seats and i met up with Alyce and Paris and her sisters. Tong, Bri, and me went on a "walk about"  until we met up with some other people we knew and chatted with them for awhile...then it was time to sart so we went and sat down.

                                                              *This was my view*
 It was so weird because they didnt have a microphone stand or anything...all the Bro's came out with lil microphone headsets. Then all the seats were blocked out behind him because there was camera guys they zoomed in on his face.

 Then there was 2 big screens that you could see him on...

...it was kinda nice seeing the face of who was talking...but then they were just all really old guys and one bro only had one ear.....so then i would get distracted looking at them other then listening lol 

It was so funny there were these 3 or 4 weirdo guys sitting behind us and i dont know if they were asleep or just really quiet but i never herd a peep out of them...but then every time we clapped for a Bro or clapped for anything they would just start talking out loud, like no one could hear them lol it was sooo funny. They would be like, "oh ya ya did you see that blah blah" just out loud lol 

After convention i went with Alyce and we all went out to dinner. 

Dinner was alot of fun, its so funny because at all the restaurants its BYOA (Bring Your Own Alcohol) So everyone shows up with tons of drinks lol  There was a group of about 20 - 25 of us. Most of every one's parents were there with us that night. Its so annoying though at the end, they dont split up the checks...sooo the bill is for like 400 some dollars and everyone has to just put there bit in a nd hope it works out. Really annoying lol 

But that was that, lots of fun in 2 days.

Then this week starts off and i get to Skype with Bry and Ethan for an hour and then went over to Kerrys for awhile and let the girls play. So its been good so far! :)
