A lot

So, a lot has been happening since my last blog. For starters, last Monday my sister and her boyfriend arrived here in San Diego. They weren't supposed to get here till Friday, but there plans got screwed up and they got here earlier. Which would have been fine hadn't it been for the fact that I have been sleeping on the couch ever since. See, they are staying in my room and so I sleep in the living room on the couch. So I'm basically the last one to go to bed and one of the first ones to wake up after Rhiannon. The first couple of nights were hell and after that it just got way worse. I swear I haven't slept decently since they got here.

On Friday I went on a dinner cruise with Rhiannon, Cale, Dave, Shardae and Mark. It was so much fun I can't even tell you. Rhiannon, Cale and Dave work on the boat, so I guess it's all blabla to them. But I loved it... I love boats. The view is beautiful, but I had seen it before when I had gone into work with Rhiannon the Sunday before they came. I was her 'trainee' cruise director. unofficially of course. Cause I wasn't really aloud to be there. But I ended up working a lot and driving the boat. Awesome. I missed work.
Anyways, after the dinner on the cruise they opened the dance floor and Rhiannon, Shardae and I just went to town. I found the guts to ask Dave to dance with me as well and that was perfect. He's a good (slow) dancer.

Then on Saturday Rhiannon, Cale and I went to the zoo. Rhiannon had bought season-passes for her and Cale and they got 2 free tickets with that. So I ended up not having to pay for it. Which is great seeing as in I'm nearing the end of my trip and am almost broke. We saw all the animals worth seeing and it was great fun. I had forgotten how great the zoo could be. But especially San Diego Zoo. It's so big and beautiful. At the end of the day all Rhiannon and I could do was complain about our feet hurting though. Before we got to the zoo we were planning on going to the Brewers vs Padres game. But we were so dead beat that we didn't go. We ended up having dinner at this new BBQ-place called Jack's. Great food, gotta love it.

Then Sunday we went and visited with my uncle Steve, whom I haven't seen since my last time here almost 9 years ago. I loved him. He's so much fun. The rest of the family too. They took us to this 'chocolate fest' down in Vista. There wasn't to much chocolate there though. Which is probably for the best. But I got to spend time with Justin and Austin again and got to meet his wife, Tammy, and her two kids. They are so great.

Today was memorial day. Which is like the Dutch 'dodenherdenking'. They remember all the victims of war. All the brave men and women who have fought for this country. But to most people it's just a holiday. Everyone is off of work, except of course the recreational jobs, and it's mostly about BBQ-ing, going to the beach and drinking. An extra day off in the week.
Uncle Harry surprised us today by calling and saying he was in town. He was going to meet Shardae and Mark up in Vegas but decided to drive up to SD in stead and drive them down to there and then spend the weekend. So I got to see him again. He is so easygoing. I love him. He was only here for a couple of hours, with his daugther Stacie. But yah, love him. Should stay in touch with him more.

So Shardae and Mark are leaving tomorrow morning. early, around 9 o'clock in the morning. Harry will be here to pick them up. Then they are off to Vegas and then Utah. I'm still going to be in SD, the place of my dreams. The place where my heart lies. I love it here.

Well, I guess that gets you all up to date.

Until the next time...
