Sonic...at last!!

So about 2 weeks ago, some co-workers and I were talking about how we always see those dang Sonic commercials, but none of know where a Sonic is around here. This frustration actually started about 5 years ago in college when I lived with my two best friends, Erin and Sara, in Santa Barbara. We would always see those commercials (usually late at night after drinking) and get so mad cause we didn't have one close by! So finally, after talking for about 30 minutes about how good their slushies and limeaids looked, we googled the nearest Sonic and to our surprise, we found one about 30 minutes away from our office off the 91 freeway. So needless to say, we all decided that we would take a mini-roadtrip to Sonic on our next Friday lunch break. I even wrote it on the calendar so we wouldn't forget! So Friday the 15th came and Amber, Kevin and I got in car and make the trek to Sonic. When we got there, we were so overwhelmed with the menu! Ok...ok... I was overwhelmed with the menu! It took me about 10 minutes to decide on what I wanted...which is pretty standard when you eat with me. We ordered from a menu outside and then the waitress (yes the waitress) brought us our food and took our money...and she was on roller skates! The food was awesome...but my cherry limeaid was the best! Kevin was stoked on his grape slushie and Amber loved her Cheddar Peppers. The trip took us about an hour and a half...but it was well worth it! Now when I see those commercials I can officially say "I have been there."

Cancel the Tahoe...I need a U-Haul!

Last night I went to my final meeting with Meghan...who is getting married this Saturday afternoon. I can't believe her big day is almost here! We had so much fun talking about all her details and set-up. I was there for 3 hours just chatting away. I also got to meet her mom and dad who are awesome! Her family is going to be so much fun at the wedding. I can't believe how creative her family is. When I got there, her mom and dad were busy tying ribbon to bubbles and putting the finishing touches on the escort cards. They did everything themselves...and when I say everything, I mean everything! They made their own centerpieces, their favors, and even their own guestbook (which is amazing!). Meghan warned me that there was a lot of stuff that I would need to take with me at the rehearsal to bring to the wedding the following day so I could set everything up. So I arranged to borrow my mom's tahoe...but when I got to her house last night, I told her I needed a U-Haul instead! There were boxes and boxes of stuff. I must say though, for how much stuff they had, they were so organized about it! Of course I had to take a picture of the lovely bride with all of her crap! Thanks for making me laugh last night Meghan. I can't wait until Saturday. I know we are going to have a blast!

Awesome

I had to post this picture cause it's hilarious! Andrew had his usual Sunday basketball game last night in RSM. This is usually the time I get to spend with Kristy and Braylon, hanging in the bleachers. Last night Braylon had the cutest t-shirt on. I totally thought it was JJ's idea but Kristy is the one that bought it for him! I love it. Some of the other basketball players got a huge kick out of it too. The look on the last picture is so funny...he looks so innocent (if he only knew what his shirt said) I can't wait til Braylon can read and we can show him what his mommy made him wear in public! Too cute!

A Different Kind of Vegas

At the top of Mix

This past week, my family and I (and Andrew) went to Las Vegas for a few days. We stayed at the MGM, which is a hotel I haven't stayed at since I was 12. We got there on Tuesday morning around 11am and headed straight to the pool. It was 115 degrees out there so needless to say...it was freaking hot! I could barely lay on the lounge chair for 5 minutes without sweating. So we spent most of the time in the water. It wasn't our typical Vegas trip since my little brother is only 18...so we couldn't go to any clubs/lounges or do much gambling at the tables. It was kinda nice though being in Vegas and just relaxing. Especially since our dinners were paid for...thanks to my Mom and Dad. We did however manage to escape for about an hour to Mix..which is a lounge at the top of The Hotel at Mandalay Bay (our favorite hotel). The view from Mix is absolutely amazing. You can see the entire strip! All in all, it was a relaxing trip. It's always nice to get away from work for a few days. Back to reality now...
