Hello, good morning, how you do?

I felt like blogging for the sake of blogging. I came with no purpose or subject, so we'll see how this ends.

Ronnie and Dia's wedding was the Sunday after we came back from the East Coast. I was so honored to be a part of it. They are so in love! I've never cried at a wedding but I did cry at theirs. Well, not BAWLING crying, but a few tears here and there. I wish them all the best!

Then Vegas a few weeks after. I'd have to say that this trip to Vegas beat all the other times I've been there. It's funny too, because I didn't do much at all. Got to watch The Lion King and that show was AMAZING. Did some swimming and spa time, which was nice. Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum was pretty good too, but I don’t think I’d pay another $25 to see it. Then, after tons of texts and phone calls and uncoordinated planning, after 3 long years, the wait was over. Gizmo went through all this crap, biking all over the strip, making his way to see me. It was pretty fun, the process to meet up, but only him and I could understand why. “Oh, okay, I’ll call you back.” 5 minutes later “Okay okay, I’ll call you back.” :)

Just a few things to remind me of the morning of July 4, 2009, 5:30AM-6:30AM (in no particular order):
- “I’ll call you back.”… “Okay, let me call you back.”… “Okay, I’ll call you back.”
- “It’s not the one with the monorail? What!? How many Hiltons are there!?”
- “Do you have a red blinky light thing on the back of your bike?”
- Magnetic force!
- Kirkland water & a banana
- One pocket!?
- ONE purple wheel?
- Burning sun
- Pointing out “colors” HAHA
- Get close, pull away
- Thumb war in pocket
- Samurai ponytail
- Scratch back and head
- PARANOIA!
- Palm scratching/tickle
- Whoa, BITE! What!?
- “Where are you? Let’s eat breakfast.” DANG IT, lol.
- Waving for forever until I disappeared
- “I was so happy that I started saying happy 4th to random people.”
- :]

My parents got a $100 gift card to use on specific restaurants. They decided to give it to me and my brother and we ended up spending $64 something on food. HOLY COW! It’s not that we ordered a lot, but the food was pretty pricey, at least for us. But it was pretty good, I must say. Didn’t get to see much fireworks, only maybe 5 minutes worth. Nothing different from any other fireworks.

Yes, what a great 4th of July weekend. Actually, great would totally be an understatement. Thank you, G, for everything.

The not-so-great-part about this summer: I’ve been sick TWICE already and both while I was on vacation. =/

1. I pray that we aren’t making a mistake. Everything has been so good and I pray that it continues. Maybe God is testing us…

2. Thank you for being there even after all the crap I put you though. Sometimes I act without thinking and you, of ALL people, do NOT deserve it. You’ve taught me better than that and I truly appreciate, from the bottom of my heart, all of your efforts, love, and care. I love you.

3. I’m flattered and honored that you feel that I am capable of leading. This is something I never thought I would ever do, but God willing, it can happen. I just pray that I am able to do my job well enough.

4. I know you feel pressured because of the people around you, but remember that you are your own person. I know you get frustrated with all of what people say, but remember that they only say those things because they love you. Just take things one at a time and just do your best. No matter what, I’ll always love and be proud of you.

Today is Michael Jackson’s memorial service at the Staples Center. I’m listening as I type. What a legacy he has made for himself. Rest in Peace, MJ.

If you got through all this, congrats. You are a beast.
