oh boy...

So I had planned on getting on here & blogging my life away, but I have been completely out of things to blog... well you know life as it is just isn't doing anything blog worthy...

BUT I have come across some pretty exciting things to share with you all in the past few days that i will now tell you about.

First off we are planning a trip back to AZ here shortly. and by "shortly" I mean Friday! So 2 days from now I will be on a plane flying over Colorado & New Mexico! Then off to Disneyland with the family!! Which should prove to be interesting... as long as I don't have to travel in the same vehicle as the ONE person who I simply CAN NOT get along with no matter HOW HARD I try... Returning to AZ will be Awesome since I get to stay an entire month... which was arranged by my lovely sister who just HAD to get her summer school in BEFORE she comes out to KY to visit & see the place I now call home! ^_^ There are people I need to see & places I need to go while I'm there so here is a list I've come up with so far

People

*Jessica

*Josh

* Addy

*Aldon

*Natalie

* Ruff Family

*Dowland Family

*Nate & Sabrina

*Joe

*Irma & kids

So in a nutshell I need to soak in as many Sunny days & summer nights of AZ as I can in a month! & I plan to live it up 100% I don't want to bum around mums house or run errands all day, so HIT ME UP when you have a day off & we can totally chill!

LET'S DO THIS!!

Travelocity commercial gone terrribly wrong...

So I have a friend.... a really good friend. I believe I've mentioned her before... Well this last Friday she was given a gift. a gift of a garden gnome. Yes. You heard me right. a garden gnome... A "Paint your own garden gnome" to be precise. 

so I'm sure this question has popped up in your head, as it did mine, Who the hell gives someone a paint your own garden gnome kit as a gift???

well I wont go into those details as I promised not to "got to far"... cuz I have a tendency of doing that...

ANYWAY Friday night got quite boring and this friend of mine decides to name this gift, of garden gnome-ness.  

Herbert is the name... Herbert the garden gnome.

Then she proceeds to paint her friend Herbert. & after many minutes of contemplation, she goes with a "joker" theme. from the Dark Knight, naturally, since this one was portrayed the best ever in existence.

So, our joker faced, pencil holding, magic trick doing, garden gnome friend came to be. 

Now we've decided that, since he has become quite popular amongst the NIN Louisville/Indiana/Tennessee & I want to say Ohio fan base, we are going to make Herbert the garden gnome our new designated every-other-weekend out buddy! ^_^

Well this Saturday we found ourselves at Thunder Over Louisville!! A very RAD place to be if you are ever here in Louisville during the month if April, & Of course Herbert was with. we had a blast & Herbert became quite the social butterfly taking picture with tons of people & landmarks. 

We've come to the conclusion that this gift of garden gnome awesomeness will take us places. he is our ticket to the big times... & should he fail (since we're giving him til the NIN concert in AZ this may) we will at least have these pictures & the memory of our dear too-tiny-to-make-a-difference-in-a-garden friend Herbert.

here are the pics... in no particular order... hope you enjoy!!
