Yeah, so I wrote a post and thought I published it, but it seems to have disappeared and I don’t have the enthusiasm to re-write it, so I’ll re-cap.
I haven’t had a chance to announce the newest addition to our backyard yet. If you religiously check my page at work you may have figured it out because I did upload the pictures. 4th of July, Becca, Cody and I went out to Target and bought the Intex 10′x3′ Round Metal Frame Pool and set it up with the help of everybody that was over. It’s an awesome deal at only $80 which included everything necessary for water lovin’ fun (except the water of course). Becca and Cody liked it so much they went out and bought one for their backyard the next day. Not many pictures, but you can see it here: Pool Pics
Keith’s 22nd Birthday was on the 6th, the whole family had dinner at Fat’s in Folsom to celebrate.
On Saturday I went to Chris and Michelle’s Wedding. I was really happy to see them finally tie the knot; I know they will be happy for a very long time to come. They are currently in Hawaii on their Honeymoon, but Chris has challenged himself with keeping a Blog of their time there. Check it out here, there are lots of pictures and even some video for those that don’t like to read. And for the few pictures that I took at their wedding, check out the website I made for their wedding, and particularly the wedding album. I was in charge of Video for their wedding, so I didn’t get a chance to take many pictures unfortunately.
I’ve been out of the office at work almost every day for the past two weeks and its killing me. I worked a half day on the 3rd (was the only one in the office too). The 4th was obviously a holiday. I was in the office on the 5th (Wednesday) and had a boatload of things to do which I couldn’t get done. Then Thursday and Friday I was in the AMP Act 1 training which is “Installing and Connectorizing LAN Cabling Systems”. Monday I had a Vision User Basics training that I did from Home. Tuesday I was in the office and again trying to catch up. I worked a 13 hour day and still couldn’t get everything done that I wanted. That brings us up to Today, where I started the Act 3 portion of the same AMP training (Designing Premises Cabling Systems) that will take me through the end of the week. I did get approval from my boss though to work all the overtime I needed to get my tasks done, so although I’ll probably complain about working a lot, there should be some nice paychecks in my future.
Going back a few days, I did sell my Altima. I had made a mistake in the asking price that I put on the listing, so I feel like I could have gotten more for the car, but that’s water under the bridge at this point. I did still come out about even with when I bought the car as far as taking home about what I put down on the car originally so I can’t complain too much. The guy paid me in cash, so it was kind of fun to have a HUGE wad of 100 dollar bills in my pocket. I should have taken a picture to go with the one from when I sold my Eclipse, but I unfortunately already deposited the cash.
I do want to note that talked to Melinda night before last. She was in Chris and Michelles wedding (if you look in the pictures she is the Bridesmaid with blond hair). I had a fun time catching up with her on what she’s doing and such. She’s living in Utah at the moment, but at the beginning of September her contract with the performing company she is with will be up and she may be coming home. For those who don’t know, I did go on a couple dates with Melinda, and I think we both had a great time but she moved down to UC Irvine and although I visited her once it never really went anywhere, but who knows the future could hold anything. I did bring up going to Ashland when she’s home to see the Shakespeare festival since she likes theatre and she seemed to like the idea. If nothing else, she is just a really fun person to do things with.
So anyway, I think this post is actually longer than the one that I wrote earlier so I suppose it was just my Blog making sure I was creating worthwhile posts that you could use to pass at least 5 minutes at work with, but I’m done writing now, so get back to working… or leave me a comment and you could easily pass another minute or two.
