Mission Valley

I guess I'll post since the blog has been rather slow lately and I haven't in a while.

Let's see...this last weekend was pretty fun for me. On Friday I went to Disneyland with Kristy to meet up with my old BYU roommate Brenda who was coming down from Provo with some friends. It was the first Dland trip for a few of Brenda's friends so that is always fun. I still think it is a different experience when you come for the first time as an adult as opposed to going as a kid. But I finally have a pass again!! Yay!! It had been way too long ('bout a year and a half). We only ended up going on like two rides because we went up after I got off work but the fireworks made it worth it. They always give me goosebumps. I am hoping to go again very soon and will at least be joining Mom and Dad when they come down next Friday.

On Saturday I got to sleep in (which is always a highlight of my weekend) and then my friends came over for a night of Rock Band. My friend Joel just bought it for his Playstation so it was the first time for most of us to play it. It was really fun but I wish there were more songs that I knew for the singing. We ended up making fudge and snacking on nuggets and tots. The night ended with an awesome doorbell ring from one of my probably peeved neighbors at a little before 1am. It is Mission Valley and it's Saturday night...come on!

Sunday morning, Marisa ran the La Jolla Half Marathon so I went down with her family to meet her at the finish line and support her. It was blazing hot. I don't know how she did it. At 8am it was 95 degrees outside! Yikes! We even saw a woman cross the finish line and collapse and start shaking. Pretty scary. Marisa said that people were fainting all over the course.

This week hasn't been too exciting. Mostly just work, rest and some working out at home. I am hopefully going to meet with my boss' this week sometime to discuss my working situation when I go back to school. That will help me to plan a little better for what I will need to do with a bunch of different things.

What else?.......AI was boring last night. I don't like Neil Diamond songs. LOST was amazing last week (as always) and I am very excited for this week. 30 Rock was also pretty dang awesome last week. And Iron Man comes out this weekend -- which I will hopefully get to see at some point.

And that is all I can think of. :)



  1. Sounds like you have been keeping busy as always! Let us know when you are free and we can try to play some more Ticket to Ride!

  1. Marnie,

    Mike was shocked at how few of the songs I knew as well. I know all the Grateful Dead ones and a few others but the rest I've had to learn. You should hear Sadie. She's learned several and sings them very well WHILE totally rocking out. We have to teach her a couple of different lyrics however. We love it though, Jane's on drums or guitar, Sadie sings or dances, Mike did guitar but now Jane or her friend Shyah do the guitar. I mostly help Sadie sing or do the drums. It is too big of a pain to switch the guitar back and forth to a lefty.
