HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAWN ON SAT 3/26!! She'll be 29 so, feel free to send her a happy birthday wish!! ;)
BUSY. Thats about all I have to write for this blog...you know, save you the time to read all the boring details and just let you know we have been BUSY.
Last week Dawn and Patty came to visit!!! It was great! We did our typical touristy/favorite things. No shows but who needs a show when you can go to Venice beach?! Its a show in and of itself. We got to take them to the Griffith Observatory and Patty of course got to eat her famous Pink's hot dog...though I don't get the glitz and glamour.....oh well. Thats a taste only a mother could love......;)
As most of you know I had a little too much fun on St. Patrick's day and as a result have been without a phone since. I truly believe it was stolen as I had it on minute, commenting on my friend Blake's facebook status and the next minute it wasn't in my pocket. No one turned it in at the bar (despite what I thought was a pretty hefty karmatic savings account, as Brent and I found a phone on Mardi Gras and turned it in but, oh well) and it wasn't on the floor or near the bench I had JUST been sitting at. But, thats life. In fact, I believe Patty had just told me the night before to get off the phone and stop missing out on life. lol. She said it cause I didnt' see the fox cross the road......but I guess fate decided I needed to learn the lesson the hard way, so I am. The only thing I am really upset about is the pictures I am missing from my phone (our drive out to CA in San Francisco, pictures of my niece and nephews, pictures of my mom and Calvin at the beach, the only picture I had of me meeting Luke Adams (the contestant from Amazing Race who is Deaf) and DEFINETLY ticked about losing the creeper pictures I took of Kate Flannery (Meredith from The Office) on St. Patrick's day. Lucky for picture messaging, I think I can have the people I sent the pictures to send them back to me when I get my new phone.....WHICH SHOULD BE MONDAY!! woohoooooo!!!
Ok, enough materialism.....how is everyone?! Our friends Kim and Jim are in town this week. She won a silent auction and it was for a trip out here so it worked out PERFECTLY!! Although, I feel terrible becaus the weather has been crap-py. Rain sooo much of the time. (if you are a true Carly's blog follower, you will know its free subs for all now!! Poor Subway is probably going to go out of business with all this rain. haha)
Well, peace and love and HAPPINESS to you all!! Brent and I (hopefully) will be traveling home for a short visit at the end of April. We are going to TRY to come 4/22, be in Centralia for a short time, travel up to Iowa for our cousin's wedding, then I will drop him off to fly back for work and I am planning on a day or 2 in KC and a week or so in Centralia!! Hope to see you all.
Oh..one last thing. Brent is in the process of resigning his LA contract, so it looks like we'll be here until the end of July.....all teacher friends/families, call your travel agent (ME) now!!!

3/10
Pretty sure my favorite part of living in Los Angeles is being responsible for picking up Calvin's poop EVERWHERE we go. Not really but, I'm sure its his. He is the dog with the biggest spite for me, I think. Not only does he wait to do his #2s when we are somewhere public (ie, the tar pits park in front of a homeless person, or the nice couple walking hand in hand we just passed cause he doesn't know how to walk slow, or right in the middle of the Griffith Observatory between the ring of Saturn and the ring of Uranus....true story....or on the dog beach TWICE). But, Brent and I have a great system.....we have latex gloves we carry in our pockets (I carry 2 after the beach incident) so that we can pick it up without touching it and then fold the glove inside out with the poop inside and then throw it away!
Ok..enough about that..Im just venting. Anyway, had a BLAST (from the past) with Staci this week!!! We did Venice beach, observatory, SPRINKLES, IN AND OUT BURGER, tar pits, farmer's market, and the last night she was here (also Mardi Gras) an awesome Gay Pride Mardi Gras party. (more on that later...its a whole story in an of itself.....). But, I did get to meet 2 "celebrities". Yes, I use that word VERY frivolously. One, as you may have read on my FB was Luke Adams. He was a Deaf guy that was on the Amazing Race and is actually on again this season. And the other was totally random. I knew it was election day, but I had no idea while I was at the gay bar, I was standing less than a foot away from one of the people running for City Council! So....John D'Amico. Anyway..they stopped the music every once in awhile to announce the section results and there was a HUGE uproar when he won each division. Then, when they announced the winner, I was standing RIGHT by him again. We all took a pic of him (decked out in party beads at the gay bar I might add..hehe) and he slipped me his card and told him to call him anytime. hehe. He was really nice!! Anyway, that was quite a fun Mardi Gras. I'm not giving anything up for lent, as the church I grew up with doesn't really do so but..What are you giving up?
Monday brings Dawn and Patty!! Dawn already told me she was ready for a night on the town so....we'll have to make her eat her words, I think. So excited to see them!!!! Let me guess...the next blog will be: "We went to Griffith Park, IN and OUT Burger, SPRINKLES, the beach and the Farmer's Market"...hehe. Its all of our favorite things so we HAVE to share them!!
Also, the following Wed (the 23rd) Brent and I have standby tickets for ELLEN!!!! And...Daniel doesn't want to go anymore so I actually have a 3rd if anyone wants to come see me!!
As far as what we will do next, we THINK we are going to be able to re-up here. Brent can 1 more time at Cedars Sinai so I think we will take advantage of that!! However, we might take 2 weeks to come home to visit....Centralia, KC and then Iowa. So...LOOK OUT!! Hopefully the last week of April/beginning of May we will be coming home!! WOOHOO!!!!
Misses, Kisses, and Loves to all!!!
(sorry this one was kinda lame. love you for reading!!)
