Mid-August Update!

Well another week has gone by! The last few mingling weeks of summer are shooting by rapidly!

My other roomie moved in without any issues on Sunday night and I later hung out with some friends that evening. It was great, we played some games such as Bible pictionary and another game. I enjoy having great friends that we can play wholesome games and have good clean fun!

Monday, my roomie and I rearranged things in our room. Made our beds into bunk beds. I get the top bunk, there is no ladder, it makes things interesting for me as half the time I usually slide/fall down off the top but the interesting part of this is that the bunk beds are set upon 7" bed risers making it even higher off the floor! Ahh, yes life has to be interesting! Later, my roomies and I went to the store to get a few essentials and we also had to get a 4th peg that we were missing for the bunk bed. They apparently did not make the pegs or something similar to that anymore so we found a bolt and asked the guys in tool rental to cut it for us (they did, it worked out great!).

Thursday, I had my job interview at another company as the last interview fell through then later on, I picked up my pay check from Best Western only to find out that they shorted me on the hours. So on Monday, I plan to call the Department of Labor or do something as the manager is not returning my phone calls. After that, I went with Melissa to some dance lesson thing at Providence swings with some other friends. I watched the lesson, it was a similar form of belly dancing, it fun to watch. Afterwards, we all took a walk and got ice cream. I'm really enjoying this group of friends I have, we all support and care about each other and they are real people that do not act fake!

Friday, we had our friends invited over dinner and I was kind of in charge of dinner somehow. That made things interesting for me as I had to shop and plan it. Then Melissa was home from work to help me make it but I had decided to make it simple so we had Mexican style with nachos and a burrito bar with homemade guacamole and pico de gallo which turned out really good. After dinner, we all played Taboo and that was so much fun! It is a game where you have to describe words without using certain words. Then when they all left, Melissa and I went to go pick up Carrie from the airport. She had been in California practically all summer long. It was great seeing her again and we all played a game together even though it was late at night, but you can only live young once, right?

Saturday, I found a free couch on craigslist that was in awesome shape. Now as to how to move this couch, we rented a truck for Home Depot for about $19 bucks. Yay for a new couch that only cost $19 bucks! It was in great shape! God really does provide, just have patience and faith!

Today was great! I went to church then afterwards, I went to the beach with Melissa and met up with some friends and that turned into an awesome day! We went to dinner afterwards and then on the way home, our friend got a flat tire. It was kind of funny because we happened to pull into a gas station and there was a AAA guy there already. It was funny because we pulled up in 2 men in black, old fashioned black marquis and you almost would expect Will Smith to be popping out of the car.

I wonder what next week's adventures hold in store for me!
