Happy Birthday Brett

My best friend in the whole entire world turned 26 on February 21, 2010! 

   

For it we decided to go out the day before to one of his favorite restaurants around here and get some awesome southern BBQ. We both got the North Carolina pulled pork. It is amazing! We then headed over to the theater and saw Wolfman. It was defiantly scary and made us...I mean just me ;)...jump a few times. Very fun.We also bought his big birthday present...more on that later.

On Sunday on his actual birthday we stayed in and I made him dinner, one of his favorites, homemade meatloaf. I was kind of surprised that out of everything that that was what he wanted but I who am I to argue with the birthday boy?

Brett likes to make little sandwiches with a little bit of everything in it....

Brett doesnt like cakes so I made him his favorite since what he normally gets is no where around. 

He normally gets cinnabon for his birthday but the closest one to us is about 50 miles away so I did my best to give him what he is used to. Only problem was how much we ended up with. The batch made over two dozen rolls and each of us was trying to be good and only have one. We ended up throwing the rest out, they were just too hard to resisted if we left them out until we found someone to give them to. 

Bretts big present was something that he has been wanting for a long time...a dog he actually got along with and that would be perfect for us. On Saturday we went out and found the most amazing dog on Craigslist and we just adore him. He is 10 weeks old and only weighs about 2 lbs. We just love his puppy kisses. Brett named him Thurgy after his best friends family that he just loves.

Leaving CA

I am flying home tomorrow after an almost two week trip back home to CA. It has been a trip full of ups and downs and in a lot of ways I am glad to be leaving for home but mostly I am sad to leave. I have enjoyed getting to see my Mom and sister again since I wasnt planning on being able to see them for another six months. It has been great catching up with friends that I missed on my last trip. I truly miss my friends, expecially Sharon. Its tough not having your best friend around to hang out with whenever you want. I wish I was able to see Aly. I really miss her. Brians funeral was tough but it was a beautiful service for a great guy. I am glad I was able to come and say goodbye to a friend. I will post pictures once I get home. Til then...I will miss my friends and family and I love you all!

I miss my friend

Last weekend Brian Morris passed away due to a completely preventable accident. Some idiot girl crashed into him all because she couldnt take the time to drive like someones life depended on it. Brian was an amazing guy who was nice to everyone. He had a great heart and a was a great friend. I feel awful that the family has to go through something so rough. I wish there was something I could do for them to make it easier but I know that there is nothing that can do that for them. I know Brian is in heaven with his family that went before him and with Heavenly Father. It still hurts that he is gone though. I will definatly miss him.

I bought a new camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought the Canon Rebel T1i and it is amazing!!! It was a hard choice cause of the price but I am so glad I went for the best camera I could afford instead of choosing a cheaper model. I am so excited to start taking high quality pictures.I am going out later to shot some. I will post them then.

My baby...
