Dinner at Chili's with what is left of our gang. Mary is my dear friend with breast cancer. She gave Rylee and Jermey Magic bullets for graduation/birthday presents. I love her!
From the backyard
I shouldn't be doing this, but I think only my parents look at this blog and they have already seen this. This is right after Rylee had her wisdom teeth pulled and she wants to check her make up before I start videoing her. Prior to this, she was talking like a drunken sailor. Funny and disconcerting at the same time.
She is trying to say that John Travolta is gay after she sings "I've Got Chills" from Greece.
My sides hurt from laughing so hard everytime I watch this.
Sorry it is so dark. She is in bed and we woke her up before we had to take Kim to the airport.
PS. You will have to pause the playlist (sidebar) to hear this.
Rylee wanted sushi for her birthday partly because she love sushi and partly because it is soft food and she is still a little tender after having her wisdom teeth pulled last Tuesday. She looks really good. Just a little puffiness.
She is how old?!
Cheers to the birthday girl!
WOW! Note the palm trees in the first photo on the right side. California baby!
Remind me never to do this again!!! Building a home from long distance, not easy or fun. A few weeks ago, I tried to skype with Kim and the design center on flooring, granite, stone, etc. This process did not work very well trying to make such difficult and important decisions via the Internet. This process left my marriage dangling by a thread. After all, how can a girl be expected to pick out such things without actually touching and visualizing first hand? So, we planned a trip out to So Cal so I could do just that. Viewing all these options proved to be just as taxing and left us both exhausted. But at least it is now done. I am most excited about my corn carpet. What is corn carpet you ask? Well, it is just that. Carpet made out of corn. You can pour bleach, red wine you name and no stain. This is good because I want white carpeting and with a Lab... need I say more? It is also the softest carpet I have ever felt. I still have to pick out a fridge and a new washer and dryer. However, I think that will be a little easier and I actually get a little thrilled when I see commercials for these appliances. 
Our house has concrete footings now. However, all the workers are working on some other families home. Grrr. The field behind our home will be a park.
After a few delays and Kim going Cujo on the builders, construction on our new home has begun.
After graduation. Rylee is getting ready to board the bus for the all night party.
Rylee and her best friend since middle school, Megan Bauer
Rylee, Kali and Terresa. Terresa and Rylee have been friends since that were practically babies.
