What a weekend!

No ranting and raving today, just wanted to write about the totally awesome weekend I had.

It all started out Friday July 1 as I was leaving work. I got a call from Sarah saying "We're going clubbing tonight" and I was like "Okay" and so we went clubbing. Before that though, I had a pretty good steak at her house (her Grandfather Charlie's beef is awesome). Anyways, Sarah, Mo, Kevin, and I met up with Nestor, Nick, and Esin to pregame before heading out which was pretty cool, it was good to see those kids again. We went to Lulu's in DC and had a BLAST! Stayed out just long enough to still be having fun but not to late that we started to get tired. Tons of fun, we have to do it more often.

So then I went home, got about 4 hours of sleep or less, and then headed out to West Virginia with Sarah for a day of kayaking on a creek by my cousin's new cottage. That was equally awesome, even though Sarah and I got lost due to bad directions and Sarah was upset for a little while. Everything was OK though, because kayaking was hella fun even with the water barely deep enough to let us through in some places. I also got flashed a few times along the way which was very cool. There was a suspended bridge over the creek at one point that we went across. It was extremely rusty and scary, but it held and it has to be one of the wildest things I've done in a while. I also found a lamp made of a street signal, and I think I'm going to go back and get it and bring it to school in August for the new townhouse. There was just too much cool stuff at that house, I have to go back and mess around a little more. It reminded me of all the old stuff we could find at the farmhouse in WI.

Now, that was only Saturday. SUNDAY, I guess I didn't do much other than go running at Burke Lake with my baby, which was nice because it was beautiful out, though we both ended up crapping out before we made it all the way around the lake. Guess we have to work our way up to 4.5 miles slowly. After that, we went to Panera's for lunch and it was pretty good. Then I went home, mowed the lawn, showered, and went to bed until dinner. Dinner was leftovers, and afterwards I we lit a fire in our new fire pit and just sat around until bedtime.

MONDAY Sarah came over early and we went to the Fairfax City 4th of July Parade. After the parade (which was ok, just anti-climactic), I taught Sarbear how to play golf! She's gonna be pretty good too I think, so I have to take her to a real driving range so she can come golfing with dad and I next time we go. Then we drive into DC to Mike and Shana's house on Capital Hill for thier annual barbeque. As always, it was good food and good company. Around 8:30 babydoll and I walked down to the Mall to watch the fireworks which were cool as always. Going down to the Mall is an experience and I really like doing it, and Sarah had a good time which always makes me happy. Anyways, that day ended up with us driving home late and passing right out.

Finally, TUESDAY, Sarah and I took the day off to go to Kings Dominion! We went with Christina and Juan, which meant I didn't have to drive which was nice. We all had a good time, got a picture taken on the Ricochet, and went on basically all the roller coasters. Hotty and I went to the waterpark but apparently we missed half of it somehow, so we'll have to go back. Best ride of the day: Drop Zone. Closest to weightlessness I have ever been. That ride is alot better than the one at Busch Gardens because it is probably twice the drop. Very cool. Anyways, after that was all over we went back to Sarah's place, had Mac and Cheese, and went to our beds (ie I had to drive home first).

So in summary, the weekend was PACKED with stuff to do, and by the end I was worn out but thouroughly satisfied. One thing did bother me, and that was the fact that my guy friends (Brian, Paul, Matt, TJ at least, who knows who else) went to the beach for the weekend and didn't invite me. If there is a legitimate reason for that I will say OK, but it seems like they just didn't think I would go so they didn't bother asking. Granted, I wouldn't have said yes even if they did ask me, but it's the gesture, you know? I have been pretty good about inviting them to things I am doing, and they have been good too until recently where I haven't gotten a call in a few weeks. Anyways, I shouldn't pass judgement before I know the real reason for not including me in their 'revelries'.

Well, thats all for now, just had to put it on record that I had a totally awesome weekend and got to spend it with the most amazing, fun, beautiful, girl I know!
