Hey<\/p>\n

so I received the basketball today from Aleesha that she promised me. It is pretty awesome, I would take pictures but it wouldn’t do it justice. She is amazing. I have to buy something to keep it in so it doesn’t get ruined.<\/p>\n

When I last I blogged we had went to San Diego on the long Christmas weekend. This past weekend was full of trips too… and I have more pictures of random stuff along the way.<\/p>\n

Random pictures: haha I told you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This past weekend we took down our tree. I took this shortly after we finished putting it up..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this one, with all the lights-a-glow. This shall be forever remembered as the tree which fell over. It did so more than once… for no apparent reason. It wanted to lay down!<\/p>\n

On to other things.. like New Years weekend. It was another long weekend, my dad took Friday off, so we both had Thursday – Sunday off. Nothing eventful on New Years Eve- we watched a Star Trek movie (the old ones.. the Motion picture).<\/p>\n

New Years day… we took a drive. My dad wanted to go to Blythe, CA – but I found it pointless to go to Cali just across the border. If we are going to do that – why not go some place new? They agreed with my point. So we drove down past Tucson- way south.. towards New Mexico and on into the state. (side note: I have my parents losing 2lbs a week and working out. During this time if they do not lose 2lbs we as a family cannot eat out — in Arizona, to get around this we have been traveling a little)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The New Mexico sign as you enter in the state.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The “new” New Mexico sign..<\/p>\n

We went to New Mexico and ate at McDonalds in Lordsville. I’ve never heard of the place- but it was a fun little random trip we took.<\/p>\n

Next day.. Saturday. We slept in.. and then got ready to leave.<\/p>\n

We went to the Cardinals first home playoff game (since the 1947 when they were the Chicago Cardinals and went on to win the NFL Championship) and they won! \ud83d\ude42 30 to 24 over the Atlanta Falcons. It was cool. We left early Saturday around 2pm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We walked in during the star spangled banner. This was the scene – I thought it looked cool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A sold out Stadium – 73,719.. and louder than anything I’ve heard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Myself at the Cardinals game, holding up the towels everyone had. We didn’t have one until after the game, then we went and asked one of the customer service people for them. They were just giving them out. (how should we know?)<\/p>\n

After that- we drove. All the way to California. The Palm Springs area – well really it was closer to LA than anything. It was not far from Riverside that we stayed the night. I talked to Aleesha about what was showing on the news in her area… haha. We went because my mom wanted to go to this Dooney outlet store. Very random.. I agreed to go. We went to some Casino (this blog might make us seem like we do this a lot.. but we really don’t haha) but it was crazy busy and not that fun. So we went back to the hotel room and to bed a few hours later.<\/p>\n

The next day we went to the Outlet store my mom wanted to go to. It had nothing worth while.. so we drove back. Down through Palm Springs (which we had driven by countless times but never went through) – I was un-impressed. We kept going south until we came to interstate 8. Then we saw signs for the Golden Acorn casino. Naturally we went haha…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Golden Acorn – the best casino we have found. We only play a couple dollars – nothing big- but enough to have some fun. On the crazy casino the night before- I won like…. 30 dollars. off 10 haha.. at this one I lost it.. but those are the odds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sunset before we left the Golden Acorn (90 miles outside of San Diego).<\/p>\n

We drove home- needless to say it was crazy late. We got in at like 1am.. so it guess it wasn’t that bad. But my dad had to go to work the next day – so it was almost 2 before he got to sleep.<\/p>\n

On my birthday I didn’t really do much. I stayed at home.. ran to the store with my mom – but nothing too special. Ate at home.. and that was that. Day over. Went to work the next day and they tried to put me on the phones.<\/p>\n

I also found out that I will not get the QA position I applied for. They are going with better applicants. Work is annoying, but talking to Aleesha proves to be the smartest thing I’ve done yet. I talked her for a while last night.. she makes me happy.<\/p>\n

Anyway – the Blazers game is starting now.. and this is a LONG blog.. so enjoy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

just Pray<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
