Excellent Night
Hi!!! Well I just had an EXCELLENT friday night! Steph and James, and Heidi and Nate come over for dinner. It was so fun!!! We had great conversation and laughed...It's was one of the best friday night's I've had in Texas so far :-))) As it turns out, Steph and another girl from work, Elizabeth, both enjoy scrapbooking. Steph brought her album over tonight and I was totally impressed!!! Her's was so cute, and it gave me some great ideas for future scrapbooks!!! Hopefully we'll all get together and have a night of scrapbooking! I think this weekend I'm going to out and buy some more scrapbooking tools!
Let's see...It's been so long since I've posted. Last weekend I went to Colorado for the weekend to visit my family. I stayed with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. I took friday off for a floating holiday, and flew in at 12noon. My uncle came and picked me up in his camero convertable! Then drove me downtown and we had a nice lunch on the roof of some resturant. When my cousin Colton came home, we played outside for a while (they have a trampoline!!) and then my aunt and uncle got a babysitter, and took me to Central City for a night of gambling. It was sooooooo awesome! My uncle even gave me $20 to gamble with!! ;-) We ended up leaving the casino up $46.75. The best part of the night was when I was walking down the stairs, and I tripped and started to fall down! My uncle just stood there watching me, going: "Ohhhh! Ohhhh!!"...."Don't drop the MONEY!" hehehehehe :-) I actually did really good and held the cup real close and didn't drop a quarter! :-)
Saturday I went to Colton's flag football game and Shelby's volleyball game. Then my uncle insisted that we go to this Halloween shop that just opened and we tried on hats and costumes. He bought a fake eye and some devil horns and spent the whole drive home trying to freak out other drivers :-) You have to have the mental picture of my uncle in a big honda mini-van, wearing these horns, growling at the people in the cars next to us, and putting the fake eyeball in his mouth! It was great :-) Saturday night, they took me to this bar in Pine (up in the mountains) called the Bucksnort. It was sooo cute, and rustic. They had deer and moose heads (and butts) on the wall. My cousin's and I got into a mean game of pool (which ended with Colton crying hehehe) and (I) drank lots of Antler Ale...Unfortunatly, they had to stop on the side of the road on the way home for me to take care of business outside, because I couldn't make it to their house :-) My mom called, and my cousin Shellby (so cute) goes: "Aunt Carol! We almost forgot to tell you! Beth is drunk!!" That was great :-) (She's 10 by the way, and my other cousin is 8).
On Sunday, I felt so guilty that I had forced myself to wake up go to Chruch with them :-) We then met my great aunts and uncles for brunch so I could see them before I caught my flight back to Texas. It was the best trip and definitly what I needed to get me through the weeks until my next trip to Rochester. (Which convienently is Next FRIDAY!! A WEEK FROM TODAY!!!!)
Monday was a tiring day at work, but I had a great night of playing Sims all night :-) I was able to make my Seymen and Beth character's get married :-) Tuesday and Wednesday night they had Harlaquien Romance Novels as Movies on the WE channel...so I spent both of those nights watching TV.
Thursday I went to Tracy and Ozan's house for Turkish study session. We always have so much fun studying and talking. It definitly takes us much longer to finish because we end up talking and getting off track :-) But she's soooo nice and funny. Ozan was babysitting Izel for the night so she was free to sit and talk and study. He was so cute too...When Izel fell asleep he came out and made sure that we didn't have any "Questions for the Turk" :-) (His exact words...while beating his chest). Anyway, Tracy invited me to Izel's 1st birthday on October 23rd. Seymen is going to look into coming down that weekend so he can come. There are supposed to be some other Turkish people there that I can meet too, so I thought it would be fun for Seymen to come...
I received a message from my mom tonight and she just bought tickets to come and visit me in November right after veteren's day, and then again in January on her way out to Seattle to visit Stephy.
Sooo...I think I got ya'll all caught up. Tomorrow I have turkish class and scrapbook tools shopping to do. I think tomorrow night is movie and popcorn night at Heidi and Nate's. Sunday is laundry and reading new books day/night. Then all I have to do is make it through next week and I'll be in ROCHESTER FOR THREE DAYS!!! YIPPPEEE (Friday to Monday). Monday I'm going to LMNK to visit, and have lunch with my friends from work! I can't wait to go home...and see my SEYMEN...and my FAMILY! and my FRIENDSSS!!! And go out drinkingggg!! Seymen promised that the guys would be up for it...and I have to eat at Shiki. And I have to see Thaun's wife Chau! She's so sweet. She writes to me at night when Thaun and Seymen are working late, and asks when I'm moving back home to Rochester :-) It used to be that we'd hang out at the office at night while they worked, and we'd play pool and ping pong...and try to speak through broken english and sign language. (She just moved here from Vietnam, and is still trying to learn english...but she's doing awesome and she tries so hard!!!)
Anyway, I'm going to go to bed now and read my new Danelle Steel book...while waiting for Seymen to have 5 seconds to call me back. Good night ya'll!!!

Hey Beth,
I've finally had time to wind down from this crazy day and realized I hardly got to talk to you at all :( Anyway, I really had a lot of fun Friday and am trying to think when we can squeeze a scrapbook night in soon, even if you just come over and we play with stamps and stuff. By the way, did you do much scrapbook shopping this weekend? We'll have to go to the scrapbook store by work one day this week.
Well, I thought I check to see if you had caught up your blog since you were given a hard time about being behind :)
Have a good night!!
