I'm getting better

Ok this time its only been 3 months since I've posted last. Let's see what's happened this time. I think the two biggest things are one of my best friends Heather had a beautiful baby girl Kylie is about to be 3 months old on Sunday and my younger sister Alyson turned 21 over Easter weekend. Heather having Kylie has been very eye-opening. I like babies so I love spending time with Heather and Kylie but I know I definitely don't want one full-time. Having a "rent-a-baby" (as the boys at work refer to Kylie) is just fine with me.

Alyson's 21st birthday was definitely a weekend to remember with a house full of people in Radford. Over the summer the decision was made to roadtrip down to Radford for Alyson's 21st. Convientely, Al's birthday fell on the Saturday of Easter weekend which also coincided with my Spring Break from work. So Thursday afternoon, my friends Becca and Francine and I headed down to Radford. One of my college roommates, Ashlee drove out from Richmond to meet us. Now you're probably wondering why drive out Thursday if she isn't turning 21 till Saturday. Well you see for the last 2 1/2 years Alyson has been an awesome little sister and quite often shuttled the 4 of us from home to where ever the night led us and home again. So we found it only appropriate that we give her once last chance to be our favorite DD. Friday night was girls night. We started with happy hour and appetizers before heading back to the house for girls night in complete with late night ziti. All this lead up to cake and Alyson's first legal drink at midnight. Saturday was a day full of bar hopping and drink trying. One stop & two drinks with lunch, next stop desert & another fun drink, back home for napping and primping before heading to dinner and out to the bar for the night.

For Francine's 21st we decided that a 21st birthday can have its lulls better trying new drinks/shots. Our solution a new game 21 things to do on your 21st. It went over fairly successfully at Francine's birthday so we did a little editing and created Alyson her own list. It had a variety of challenges for Alyson to complete before we headed home for the night, including the 21st item of "get out of bar without puking." All and all the night was successful with all 21 items being completed, some more than once.

I have saved the biggest news for last. I BOUGHT A HOUSE. As of Friday I will be the proud new owner of a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath townhouse. I will be moving 2 miles from my current address and cutting 2 stoplights out of my commute. Not to mention I will be less than a mile away from Heather, Tyler, and Kylie just in time for the weather to be warm enough for us to walk to each others' houses. Saturday will be a day full of painting and decorating my bedroom/bathroom. I will attempt to post my before and after photos in a timely manner. Maybe I should go charge my camera.....
