Christmas and Bev and Tommy's house

This was so much fun....this is Christmas for all the cousins to be able to visit and spend some Christmas fun together. I tried to post pics of everyone there, but with so many it was hard to get a picture with all of us in one shot...so here are a couple of different shots....

Christmas at our house

This year didn't go as we had planned it to go...but...it went just fine....the kids were happy and so was Phillip and I. Just some random pictures.

And they're off! I can't believe the day has come. They were all so ready and really so was I, but now that i have had a minute to sit down and let it all sink in, I really just can't believe it. My oldest girl Kaelina is in 4th grade this year!! I know huh...wow. She is so excited about all these things she has been waiting to do since she was in kindergarten. the day has finally come. She can play on the big kid playground (which turns out to be the same playground that she has been playing on all along....she can just play a little bit farther out than the smaller kids.) She can sign up to play the violin....Now this is the most important thing to her....seriously i have heard violin this and violin that. I am happy that she getst to do it this year. Although --I can see that this is another thing i have to spend money on...but hey its worth it. She also gets to go to more exciting places for field trips this year. I think i have covered all the exciting things but it is only the second week of school.

My second oldest daughter is Emily. She is in 2nd grade (but my brain is really really thinking that she is in 1st grade--i keep telling everyone 1st grade) She too is excited about school but not for the same reasons. She wants to talk and play with all of her friends. She loves learning and she is very smart but really she likes school to be social. She has voiced her opinion on school yet...She does however like that this year she gets to use a binder for school.

And my boy Jacob has started kindergarten this year. He couldnt wait for the day to come. We get him to school and he is instantly Bye mom...you can wait over there for 5 mins. I say ok and of course i watch him play and make friends. He is soooo cute. He has this friend he plays with every day, and everyday i say what is your friends name... he says- i don't know. So he says Hi friend--and bye friend. He loves the teacher and he loves his time away from me like a big boy. We wake up at 6:30 for school and he wants to leave the house atleast 20 mins later.....Hope the love for school sticks!!!

So that is it for me...my kids all love that they are at school, and they love they're teacher and they love coming home to me after a day of school....

I kicked my kids out

Well today I had a pretty good day with the kids....I sat down and had a talk with them because lately i have been a big stress ball, and i can see how they are affected by it....So i reassured them that i do love them and that they are good kids- moms just stressed (or something)

Anyways after that things seemed normal...They didn't look sad. They were playing fine I was happy, they were happy. 3:40 came so I say Kids its time to go to your bowling league....Okay mom...and we were off.

When we got home i was preparing dinner and they were in their room...they have been waiting all day to go on a bike ride. So i say...hey kids...come here i wanna talk to you. So as I'm trying to tell them that i want them to put they're shoes on and get their bikes out front..i had to stop 8 times because they would talk over me and the ignore me.. and play with each other ---While i was talking....

Now this has been a big problem lately and i just cant take it anymore. So I go on a yelling rampage and then I decide that's it...GET YOUR BAG PACKED AND GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

Instantly they start crying and i felt bad but i made them get what they thought they might need for the rest of they're lives.....They got they're bags all packed so i made them say good bye to they're oldest sister and then get out...

They said their goodbyes and then walked out the door...after being outside with their backpacks they slowly walked down the walk way (crying the whole time). I watched them and only let them get to the sidewalk before I called them back inside...I then talked to them about how that made them feel and then i explained (once again) how they have made me feel...

Emily says I knew you wouldn't really make us leave...she was crying so i knew she was lying.
Jacob (who was absolutely scared) said that i broke his heart. He doesn't ever want to leave me so he will never make me feel that way.

So then i say so let me see what you packed...the only things you would have for the rest of your lives....

Jacob packed: His big grave digger, a rail road crossing (a piece from a train table) 1 car (from a train) and then a hot wheel....

How freaking cute is that.....while looking at his stuff i burst out laughing so hard...i couldn't help it...He was so sad ---screaming in embarrassment---I NEED THAT STUFF...MOM...STOP LAUGHING!!!

Emily packed as many dolls as she could fit in her back pack. a jewelry box, a glass egg and a magazine.....

Again how funny.....She didn't care that i was laughing .

I asked them what about your clothes...they both looked each other and then to me and said I DON'T KNOW...

Anyways I hope they now see that i am serious about them respecting me....

I felt bad, but hopefully it will be worth it. I might be crazy... you tell me

San Fransisco

My family and I got to sneak away. It was nice. Sure it wasn't the intention of the trip, but who cares....right.

We ended up down there because we had to retrieve some of my husbands belongings. Since we were down there, we decided to make a day of it.

We did things a little backwards the we normally would have. We hit the pier first. It was weird to not be freezing ( seeing as we are normally on the pier around 8 pm or so....and it is freezing by then) anyways after we walked the pier we ended up waking the town. Everyone was so tired but they made it. i think i had them walking for a good 7 hours. After we were done there we jumped in the car and headed for my husbands favorite beach. Baker beach. We had dinner and then we walked up and down the beach. Then we climbed over some rocks to a secret beach. (not really a secret beach, but it was to the kids) We attempted some pictures. Some were OK...some needed some help.

After that we just drove around the town. Which was OK, until we got to the hilly streets and then I was over it. So we started the long drive home. We got home around 1:30 am. and got pretty much no sleep.... it was awesome.

Super Jake

He turned 5!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB........I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

He is Indiana Jones in this picture....but don't worry---He has not given up on Superman....He forgot to wear his cape for that picture...he quickly remembered that.

Howards Pest Control

Today I was calling around to get the best deal on pest control services. I had called about five different companies. I had started to call companies that I have never heard of. I thought that maybe the smaller companies that I have never heard of. Tiny, Tiny little pest control you would have never heard of.

So I called this one called Howard's Pest Control. This little Old lady answers. (so old that picking up the phone probably wore her out) and she says Hello.. I say Hi, I'm calling about your pest control services..

She says: who is this?

I say oh- My name is Jessica
She says: What is this in regards to?
Now I'm a little confused- So I say Um- Pest control services

Then she shocks the hell out of me:

She says Oh, we are out of business-- MY HUSBAND IS DEAD.

I was sooooo shocked--I say, OH I'm soooo sorry!!!
She quickly says OK and hangs up.

How sad. I was very uncomfortable--- So I hang up and Immediately I started busting up laughing. I mean It was kinda funny!!!!

Not much to say

Blogging...I haven't had to much time to blog...well maybe that is an excuse...I have not that much to blog about...but I have thought of something that I can blog about.

We are currently taking our house apart and painting it and spring cleaning it. It is a suck ass job. I can not wait until it is done....and then I never want to do this again...ever....so hopefully I won't.

Luckily I am not doing this alone....I have my husband and my sister who are busting their ass as much as I am...I feel bad that it is so much work to do in such a little time. We are trying to finish this work before my sister moves in. Her and her kids. UUUUM I guess that is all about that.

We have almost every room done...all we have left is the hallway and the bathroom and the second dinning room....we have to rip all the wall paper off of those walls. But we did it to the kitchen so It shouldn't be to hard....I'm just no longer in a rush to get that done...maybe in the next couple of weeks.

Well I guess that is all the blogging I can pull out of my ass for today so.....See ya!!!

Family

Here is one our family pics on the trip. It is hard to see but there it is. Can you believe we were the only tent campers.. Everyone else was RV. It was nice to have all that space. You can't see it in the picture but we had all that land to ourselves. It was nice.

We were heading off for a bike ride. It was a nice scene to ride next to the ocean.

Anyways there we are.

Birthday wishes

Today is my sister HARMONY'S Birthday...Happy birthday harmony. I'm so excited for her. I can't imagine what you are going to do today for your birthday....but i just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY and that I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Another nothing

There was a boy named Steve......All he does is read his books...smarty smarty tarty. Steve. He wants to learn all day...

There was a girl named Sara....she met a hot dude on her trip to check out colleges....she didn't give him her digits...now she is like....WTF. why did i forget...I'm such a nerd. I'm gonna go door to door and find my dude. I won't say his name...just in case he reads my blog....but you know who you are.......

There once was a guy named fil....he wont share his game....he makes us watch him....


and for me....my tummy hurts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The caped crusaders

On this day, I was folding laundry when Ryder caught eye of Jacob's superman underwear. He instantly yells Jakey. I thought that was so cute. He came over and grabbed them and walked around with them for a little while.....It was then that it had hit me...DUH he wanted to put them on. So he suited up in the underwear but it just wasn't complete without the tank top of course.

When Jacob saw this he went into his room and grabbed another pair of undies and a tank top and they ran around a bit.

Jacob came across one of his capes and Ryder of course wanted it. So I began the search for another one. When I pulled another cape out Ryder's eyes lit up so bright. Now they were fully suited up and they couldn't have been happier.

That kept them busy for a while. Jacob showed Ryder all the different ways to pose like the real Superman. Ryder liked to watch but couldn't get the moves down but he did make some of his own.

They were happy until Ryder hid behind a chair and repeatedly said no....no...

Once i looked him I knew what he was up to. He was taking a dump. So once he finished I changed his butt and just like that he was over being Superman. He wanted to be naked.

Who am i to deprive this little boy to be nakey if he wants to. So he ran around nakey until I decided it was to cold int he house and then I put his clothes on and it was completely over.

Until next time!!!!!

Our number 7

Today was my 7Th wedding anniversary! I know woo hoo!! But my husband went to work. And I wanted him to because he can't take days off, but at the same time ---it is our anniversary so a part of me wanted him to take the day off too. I feel bad because in a way I am kinda bitter about it. But on the other hand we did go out to dinner last night. It was fun at first until we got into a fight and that ended the night.

So we spent the morning trying to get over that. I don't think we did until right before he left for work.

The shittiest part about the whole anniversary thing is that we didn't even get it on. So now what. I have wait the two days until he gets home. Well whatever.

My day thus far

Today I babysat Ryder. I love him. He is so cute and he is a good boy. How can you resist him. I like the way that Jacob and Ryder play together. Jacob is gentle and understanding. When Ryder wants to play with Jacobs toys--Jakey doesn't mind. He doesn't even mind if Ryder plays with his most favorite toys (superman toys). If Ryder wants the toy in Jacobs hands he will give it to him.

Blah Blah---I just love the way the 2 boys play together.

What else happened today......Melody came by to borrow some children Cd's because they got ally a mp3 player for her birthday---so I say sure I have some children's Cd's. But it turns out I have Kids bop Cd's and those aren't exactly kids Cd's but oh well that is what I got.

Ryder is asleep on the couch right now and Jacob and Emily are playing sponge bob on the game cube, They are happy so yeah for me. I'm just sitting around about pretty much nothing.

Well I guess that's enough boring you----For now at least.

Carinos Italian Grill

Man, All day long I see these commercials for Carinos Italian Grill. It looks so good. I had never even heard of it, until the last couple of weeks. The commercials have been running non stop. I have been trying to figure out a way to make my husband take me there. I have to try it. When the other day it hit me.....Our anniversary is coming up. So guess where we are gonna go. (Well if he is home) I can't wait to go.

I looked at the menu online. everything sounds so good. well not the fish stuff.

So wish me luck..eventually I will get there.

If you have had this then please let me know how good it is.

What's on my mind?

My potato looks familiar

They are still kids

Yesterday we went on a bike ride. These are the kids who came along for the ride.

From oldest to youngest there is:
Kaelina-8
Austin-8
Emily-6
Hannah-4
Jacob-4
Drew-2
Ryder-Almost 2


It was a nice night. We took the kids down the bike trail. Which is from there and back about 9 1/2 miles. The kids did great. They probably could have rode a little bit longer, but by the time we got home, it was dark.

I although felt very bad for my sister who had to pull a heavy load. She had her little boy in his chair on the front of her bike, and she had her friends 2 children in the trailer behind her. She got the best workout of us all.

It was fun. The kids got a big kick out of it.

It's weird to think that pretty soon that the stuff they are begging us to do with them will one day be sooooo uncool. It's nice to soak up these moments.

I tried

Well, well, well....I really don't have my mind set to blog. But I wanted to attempt it. I'm hoping that something will inspire me while I am pretending to blog...

Hmm Hmmm Hmmm, yep well really there is nothing so If something happens then I'll log back on.

My little girl and me

This is a picture of Me and Kaelina. I don't take too many photos with my children, because I don't want to see me. I love taking photos of my children though.

She felt so special to take a picture with me so I thought I would share it with you too.

The Nothing is coming

I haven't blogged about anything in so long. Even still I don't have anything to blog about. I'm just sitting around waiting for something to inspire me.

My son who is 4 used to know all his letter names and sounds. but I guess I have been really lazy with him, because he totally forgot them. I have been working with him again and it looks like there is hope for the up coming kindergarten year. I was starting to worry. He still has trouble with about 5 of the letters but he does know the sounds of them. But and here is the big BUT, he does not like holding a pencil. Which means he don't write. We are working on that too, but I'm thinking that one won't be as fun.

What else can I ramble about......Oh Emily has been working on her number test. She has been on her 11's for about 2 weeks. I started testing her at home (she has 2 minutes to finish all the problems. It's a mixture of adding and subtracting) she can now do them in 1 minute and get them all correct. But when she goes to school and takes the test she misses 1. Whats up with that. She is so sad. I encourage her and she goes to school with all hope. It breaks my heart when she comes home and says I missed one again. I tell her: That's OK sweety we'll try again. So today I hope she can come home and say: I did it!!!

Since i talked about 2 of my children I might as well talk about my other child. Kaelina was excited this morning. She couldn't get ready for school fast enough.. She got dressed and announced that today is Hockey day. She talked about hockey all morning. I'm happy that she is so happy. Every Wednesday for homework she gets to write a story using her spelling words. That has to be her favorite homework to do. She of course bases all her stories about us and it is so cute.

Well I think that is about it for me.....Hopefully I will have something more exciting to blog about next time.

Valentine's dinner

This once ever occassion took place about 3 years ago. Phillip was home so we decided that we would go out for a Valentin'es dinner. Being that it is valentie's day and we didnt think ahead we had no choice but to bring the kids with us. One of the kids being 1 years old made it extra fun.

Anyways, we got all dressed up and got the kids looking nice and we jumped in the car and drove to chico. (the kids where hungry before we left the house) We get to chico 45 mins later and now they are extra hungry, but all i can think is--yes they will eat all their dinner tonight.

As we are walking up we see the big huge crowd outside and it hits me--THIS IS GOING TO BE HELL. We check in and they tell us it is going to be a 45 min wait. AAAAAh what do we do. Do we leave or stick it out.......well we stuck it out. There was no more chairs to sit in while we waited and it was so col outside so we just had to stand in front of people. The first time a chair opened---it was like war.. but we got one. I think we sat for about ten minutes when jacob had enough. He started crying and they took us immediately back. Looking back maybe it wasn't such a bad idea bringing them after all. I'm sure with out them we would have sat there waiting for and hour.

So once we sat, the waitor comes over and you can feel the rush he was in, which made our eating experience fun. Everything was so rushed. Once we sat down it was like we had to hurry so all those other people could sit and eat too... So at least tghe kids didn't have to wait to long for their food.

After we were done we decided that we are not going to go out on valentine's day again. It was just to stressful.

Oh yah i forgot to mention that we went to the olive garden, in case you were wondering. although we were so very rushed......it was very good!

hmmm

YEP

home

Vacation is over.

He says he had fun, I hoipe he really did. We didn't ge to leave town and I know he was bummed about that, but honestly the wheather was awful and I wouldn't have went anywhere with him.

But not to worry he has another week of vacation coming up and we are going to go camping. He is pretty excited about that.

Um I think that is pretty much it.

A trip to the tooth doctor

I have nothing new to blog about, Oh wait.

Today I took My daughter Kaelina and my son Jacob to their dentist appointments. Just for the regular check ups. They got some x-rays and a good cleaning.

Jacob did fine. He was scared the whole time that he was gonna get a shot, but after reassuring him he still didn't believe me. So he asks the nurse and she tells him no. Just one time she says no and he is sold. I think I must have said no ten times. But I guess all that matters is that he was happy. Anyways for him- he did not have any cavaites.

Kaelina did well also. She was not concerned about a shot. She on the other hand got her first cavaty. She is pretty upset about it. Then the dentist tells us that her bottom teeth are so crowded that her teeth that are trying to grow in, CAN'T. There is no room for them. He then tells us that she is going to have to remove 2 of her teeth. How the crap am i going to explain this to her. We have an appointment set up so I am going to have to think fast.

The joy of family

OK, So how annoying is this,

Fil and I are going to change car insurance companies. We found a good rate and we are happy with the company. We are currently with progressive drive insurance. We are paying 313 dollars a month. I know. are we crazy. With the new company we will be paying 182$. Much better huh?! That will save us $131 dollars a month. So as you can imagine...We are excited.

We wanted to wait until payday to switch. Well lucky for us it is renewal time for our insurance and it is also a Friday so the insurance company would have no problem switching us over. Well that is not our luck. While on the phone going over all the necessary steps he (John.... the man on the phone) says whoa, here is the problem, you have alot of claims on your insurance. Claims--we don't get into that much trouble. So he is going through the list....who would have known. Almost everything on that list belongs to Grace and Henry. I mean this list went on and on. So we explain that, that is not us. so he says well it makes sense, BUT i can't do anything right now. I have to wait until a writer(?) takes a look at this and OKs this.
Now the problem is--they don't work on the weekends. so the earliest he can give us our insurance is Monday. So we say OK--we can work that out. Then he says well the other problem is that it is your renewal time and that date lands on the 27th. Monday is the 28. So you are going to have to make your payment because if you let that lapse we will never insure you.
Which makes sense.

So we move on to renters insurance. Everything is fine until he finds out we have a dog. A DOG. Since we have a Pitt bull that is to much of a liability. They say that pretty much no one will insure you with a Pitt bull. But hooray he finds someone. He says it will cost about 22 bucks a month, not too bad.

But again we can't do anything thanks to grace and Henry.

Then the guy says well if you didn't have the dog, we could have combined the 2 policies and the payment for both would have been 172 all together. What that is awesome. but not for us.

so now i have to make 2 insurance payments this month, which sucks cause i planned the bills pretty tight, but we would have been fine. but not now.

On the up side they did say that drive insurance would refund the payment back to us. But I'm guessing that will take about 30 days.

Oh well........ that was my night.

Hmmm

It is almost 9:00 p.m. and I'm watching t.v.

I'm kinda bored. I'm watching wife swap. I pre- recorded it so I can fast forward through the commercials. I just put the kids to bed. I hope they fall fast asleep. Well I guess that is a stupid thing to say, because they always do.

Fil left for work at 5:00 today. Well actually he has to be there by 5:00. Its always fun to get his stuff ready.----NOT!! Ha Ha -- I'm laughing in my head.

I think I'll finish this blog like this.

Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah!!
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Ha Ha Ha.

2 is better then 1

So after a night of watching Emily run back and forth to the bathroom, I finally get all the kids into bed and i give her the--If you feel like you have to barf, get up and run into the bathroom. She assures me that she will do so.

Fil wants to watch movie so i take my normal spot on the couch and fall asleep. I'm soon awakened by my other daughter letting me know she just barfed all over her bedroom floor. I jump off the couch and start clean up mode... Nothing like cleaning up spaghetti in the reverse mode.

Anyways I put a barf bucket next to each bed and they fall asleep. I let them sleep in thinking they prob feel like shit...Today they are fine and playing and running around.

So I guess they got a free day off school. (works for me, I got an extra hour of sleep.)

Barf

It has been a while since one of children barfed... Thankfully for me.

Today while out dress shopping with my sister I get a call from my daughter Emily's school, informing me that she had threw up in class. I immediately thought-- How sad, the poor little thing must be so embarrassed. Then my mom brain kicked in and I thought poor thing--How did she get sick. when she left for school she was OK. Not a hint of sickness.

So we went to school and picked her up. Knowing that she is not feeling well, I still decide that we only have one more store and that I would hate to have gone to all them other stores and not the last one. So I drag my sick child into the dress store. We were there for a little while until she just couldn't take it anymore. Emily started to cry, saying that her tummy hurts. So my sister to us home where I tell her to change into her Jammie's.

I get her to fall asleep and i leave her with her dad so I can run to the store and get some Gatorade for Emily. When i return I find them all fast asleep, but they woke up the instant I thought that I might have a second to rest.

My daughter has continued to barf and I am not enjoying are long awaited reunion. ( me and the barf)

bordum

Oh man, I'm so bored.

I'm waiting for my mother in law and my sister in law to call me so we can do some wedding shopping.

For those of you who don't know my mother and father in law divorced just as me and my husband got together. It has been 8 years now and she has fell in love again. She is getting married next month and we have nothing done yet.

By nothing-I mean NOTHING. She finally picked a day so I guess maybe we have something done. But anyways she hasn't picked a dress nor has she looked at any. Not in a store nor in a magazine. The wedding is in 19 days and she hasn't sent out her invitations. To do that you need to buy some. We have to go look at flowers and decided what she likes and pick out her bouquet. She has to start thinking about how she wants her hair done. They need to go ring shopping. And I'm sure I have left alot of stuff out but my brain is kinda fried.

So today we are tackle as much as we can. They were supposed to have called by now so that we can get this started, bu of course they haven't. Whats the rush right.

Maybe I'm getting a little pissy. I just want to get this over with. We just need to get things rolling.

Then to make things more fun we are going to moving rays stuff here and there. and we have to make room in maria's house for all his stuff.

So yeah for today...I want to get this started so that my babysitter can get some rest. Sorry melody.

Us

This is not a new story. This is probably a story that you are sick of, but it popped into my brain last night and i couldn't stop laughing in my head. Now it is stuck in my head.

A couple of months ago we bought a Wii. The kids were so over joyed. They play it all the time. I think that their favorite game is bowling. Anyways, since day one my son Jacob calls the Wii a us. How cute is that.

At first I didn't know what he was talking about. Mom can we play the US?
I'm thinking the US what the crap is this. So after a couple times of him asking he shows me and I figure out what he is talking about.

We would get a good laugh every time. Now he knows what it is called and we don't get that little laugh.

So right now I'm thinking back and laughing--- Ha Ha Ha.

chores

Today I have to clean my dirty house. This is a chore I don't do everyday. Unfortunately for my family. I don't know why I can't do this. It has to be the easiest thing in the world. If there is a mess clean it up. You would think that I would do that but---I don't.

I finished the dishes and there was alot of them. They were so dirty. Now i have to put away my laundry. I washed it and threw the pile on the couch. Not just one load but at least 7 loads. uuuuggghh I don't want to put these cloths away!

But I will. I can do this. I can be a normal wife and mother. I can do the things that a wife and mother should do. So here I go----I'm gonna do it.

Movies

Today we have mike and steve and sara and maria over for some dessert and coffee. We ended having brownies and vanilla ice cream. They were good. anyways we played some wii. then we got bored and played some Nintendo ds. that to got boring so we ended up playing scene it on the xbox. that was fun but as usual fil won. ass hole loser. Now we are trying to pick a movie. I don't know how many movies we own but there is nothing to watch. we can not agree on anything. I think we seriously picked up every movie and denied them.

I like watching fil and his siblings argue over which movie is lame and which one is not. I don't know how they grew up together, you would think they would like the same stuff but as it turns out they do not. I think that i am tired. I hope they pick something soon.




THE END.

The Survivors

These are my survivors. If you notice they each have their own walking sticks. These sticks they picked out on they're own. Well first Phillip picked out his stick which he brought every where on our trip. Once the kids noticed they of course wanted one too.

So slowly they found a stick of their own. They used them to walk with for I think about 20 Minutes, then they were turned into swords. Then they turned into MOM MY ARM HURTS I CAN'T HOLD THIS ANYMORE. Which made our 10 mile hike so much more fun.

They still have those sticks at the house, here they are used more for swords, but they keep them against the house just in case we go camping. I want to burn these sticks in the fire place. But how can I. It is just so cute that they want to be like they're dorky daddy. I can't imagine there will many more years that they do want to do anything that he is doing.

So as hard as it is, I'm just gonna sit back and watch my husband turn our kids into walking stick carring dorks until they are done with him. If that makes sense.

How I met my husband Part 2

So not ever been anywhere for more the 2-3 hours with this guy,we are on our way to San Fransisco. I know him but not really know him, so jumping in the car like that was crazy. I didn't call my sister and tell her that I was going and he didn't call his family either. IMPULSIVE.

It was 5:30 a.m. And nothing was open. It was SO cold. (when we left Yuba City the weather was nice.) We had one sweater between us so we kept trading off and on. We were waiting for some store- any store to open so we could pick up one more sweater. We got one and headed toward the beach. It was so pretty.

We walked for a while and then we laid down a blanket and sat and talked. Little did i know he was going to nap and i was on my own for a couple of hours. So when he finally awakes we head back toward the pier where he eats a clam chowder bowl. YUCK. I was so hungry, but i didn't want him to know plus i couldn't eat in front of him.

So he spent the day showing me all his favorite sights. It was all so pretty but (OMG if you knew him then you knew what kind of car he had) I swear it was so freaking scary. We watched the sun go down and I think we headed home around 9:00 or so.

On the way home he kept falling asleep. He is asking me to sing with him. I'm like what-No i can't do that. So he drove in and out of sleep and some how we made it home. I then had to make that call to my sister and let her know that I am alive and that I was sorry for scaring her.

I think it was about two days later and i still hadn't received a call from him and I'm thinking what the hell. So I call him. Of course he has this lame story about how he was about to call me. Yah Right. Anyways from then on we would talk on the phone for a minimum of 4 hours a day. I have no idea about what, but we did.

I then later found out that He had a date- the day we were coming home from the beach and he blew her off for me. I thought that was sweet because this was the girl is was in love with. He finally had his chance with her and he didn't take it.

How I met my husband

Well I started working at McDonald's after high school. I worked whatever shift they wanted me to work. Phillip was still in high school so he could only work at nights and on the weekends. I think about six months into working there I finally started catching the same shift as him.

At first, I didn't like him. He was slow and kinda annoying. But as time went by and we started working together I started to like him. I remember on days that he wasn't working i would be sad. And of course on days that he was working i was excited.

We would both work drive thru together and It was kinda fun because you are in a small area and we would always rub against each other. He would always look down my shirt, and to be honest i would make it so he could.

One day i needed a ride home. I think my sister volunteered him to take me home. It must have been the most quiet ride ever. We pulled up to my apartment and i just hopped out. I was kinda bummed because i wanted him to make a move and he didn't. (I later found out he wanted to too.)

So finally he graduated high school and he was accepted into college in Chico. He said he was moving up there, so he wanted to take me out on a date before he left for my birthday. So we made a date.

He knocks on my door and I open it and in walks Phillip and four of his friends. ( I'm thinking what the hell, I thought this was a date.) so we go to dinner at Carl's Jr.- Big spender. I of course couldn't eat anything I was so embarrassed. When dinner was over the all decided that they had to use the bathroom but they didn't want to use the one there so we went to brads house. As soon as they got out of the car Phillip took off. I have to admit I was excited.

We went to Hilcrest park. We talked and played and of course flirted. My god what do i have to do to get him to kiss me. Finally he made his move and after that we made out for a hour or so. I think it was like 1:00 in the morning and he says hey lets go to the beach. I without any thought say OK. We hopped in his piece of crap car and went...............
