oh what a night!

Last night was a girls night out. We had it all planned. We were going to take the coaster downtown San Diego, get something to eat, go to Ghirardelli and then come back on the coaster. Simple right? Well it is if you don't miss the coaster and have to find some way to get home. We were waiting to hop on the trolley to get to the coaster to take us back home. We got a little too distracted taking pictures that we didn't realize that we had only 8 minutes till the coaster left! We must have missed the trolley because it never came. Well we flagged down a taxi cab that raced us to the station. He was a crazy driver!! We saw the coaster in our sights so we hopped out to catch it. I was trying to race in my boots and it wasn't working so I quickly took them off and continue to run in my socks. We missed the coaster by like 30 seconds. The next coaster wasn't till after midnight. We pondered for a minute how we were going to get home. We ended up having to buy a bus ticket to take us to Oceanside. That was till 15 minutes away from our car but it was closer then an hour. So we took the bus. The bus driver saw me take off my boots and run so he had a good time making fun of me. We called a friend to grab us at the bus station to take us to our car. It was such a happy moment to finally be back on schedule. To think we took coaster to save money on gas and parking but together we spent over 100 dollars on transportation. It was a good night!

Last Padres Game of the Season

Tyler and I went to one of the last Padre home games of the season. It has been a lot of fun being able to go to the games and cheer on the Pads. Unfortunately we lost! But we still had fun. Tyler got us great seats. We were right in front of the Padres dug out. We met this couple that came from Indiana to see the Padres play and in front of us was these crazy fans wearing Bush and Nixon masks. Some people do weird things to get into the game. Afterwards there was a fun fireworks show. Even though it was a lost which is putting them in danger of losing the division title and maybe the wild card pick, we had a great time!

A rededication!

So I realized that my last post was on the first on the month. I am so sorry that I have neglected my post responsibilities. Thank you to those out there who have faithfully click to my web page hoping that I would have added something new. Well the wait is over.
I have no pictures which is one reason why I have not blogged but I figured a wordy blog is better then no blog.
Life has been good over in San Diego. The weather is getting perfect again. It was hitting the 90s for a little which was annoying. In San Diego News, the Padres are battling to "keep their head in the game." They are currently beating the San Francisco Giants and with the Diamondbacks losing puts them 2 games behind. Its been a roller coaster with them these last few weeks. Luckily we have the Chargers starting up with a 1 - 0 record. They have a big game against the Patriots this Sunday. We are hoping for a victorious rematch from last year's post season upset. I love getting into these sports. For one thing it is fun to have a team to root for and second our whole family gets into it. We have a special bonding moment in between my brother cursing at the tv with a beer in his hand after a bad call, my parents laying on the couch eating and getting equally upset and me getting pretty ticked when they can't pull it together but trying to keep it calm after all it is Sunday, God's day.
Work is going pretty good. Both my supervisors like me so that is always a good sign. I am currently wrapping up my application for the teach for america program. Interviews are going to be starting next month. Hopefully I will know in a couple of months what the future has in store come next summer.
I am still enjoying my various extra curricular activities. I am getting pretty good at the piano. Well thats what my teacher says at least. She is trying to get me to play in a recital in december but she is going to have to do a lot more convincing. I am taking institute. I am getting ready for the fall shows to come back on. I am way excited to see what this season has in store. I am not going to list all the shows so I don't look that pathetic. Tyler and I are still dating. He is such great guy and I love being around him. We will see though....
The upcoming month I think is going to be more blog post because of some fun things to look forward to. I have a handful of friends coming down throughout the month. Right now Erica and her family are down for Oscar's soccer tournament. (I'll put some pictures up soon from this trip.) But in two weeks I have Gretchen coming down. Two more is Melissa and then the following week I am going up to Utah for Emily's wedding. In between that I am very close to getting Amy to move down here. Exciting times! I love when people come visit.
Well that is about that with me so far. I will work on getting more blogs up.

Such a Follower!

So I am adding a post just like everyone before me admitting to my addiction and encouraging everyone to read the twilight series.

I just finish new moon and am already into eclipse! I got my friend Shelby into it. We have been reading it together. After every chapter we are calling each other and wondering what is going to happen next. I have many theories on what is going to happen next. I love it though. Now I didn't want to get into it. I thought that a book about a vampire and romance is just not my cup of tea but I was totally wrong. This is a great series.

So for the next couple of days this is the position I will be in while I finish up the series. I am getting sad to end it because I know that I have to wait a whole year for next book!
