I'm BACK!!!

Yes, folks, I have finally done it. I have sat down at my computer to once again blog about my life. And what better way than with Parent's Weekend! I was so lucky to have Mom and Grandma come out to stay with me. Any chance to spend time with them is a blessing and we had so much fun. (At least I think we did.) They got in on Thursday afternoon right after I got out of class, which means I didn't really have to time clean up and make a good impression. :( Still we got in Grandma's new car (nice ride, by the way) and Mom actually took me to Bombay House. I had been craving that for the past two weeks and even though it's probably neither of their favorites, they let me have my way. I love Bombay House, so no matter what I enjoyed it. We picked up a few things after that but mostly headed off to bed since it was an hour later for them and I had to be to class at 7:25 in the morning. Still after school and work we got back together and started out for the Blue-au (the Cougar luau) where Mom insisted we be there an hour early for good seats. We were second in line. So we chatted and took pictures with our spare time.

(Aren't we darling in our matching shirts!)

We did happen to sit at the center front along with my boss's boss, David Hunt, who has passed me many times and still doesn't remember me. Funny, huh? Anyway, we had good food and conversation and got ready for the show of Living Legends. Too bad that our good seats went to waste as this year they allowed everyone to pull up chairs close to the stage, leaving us in the back once again. Still I think it was fun with the band and the dancing, and they even taught us some, so if you're in need of knowing a Hawaiian dance or the Huka, just let me know.

And after all that you though we would be finished, but nope. We went to go play some free bowling where Mom actually kicked my trash. Okay, it was only 80 to 73 (terrible, we know) but still, I'll let her have her glory.

The next day was Game Day. We had to get ourselves psyched up for the game so we went to the tail-gate party where we ate food, played games, won prizes and listened to Mom's favorite music group on campus, Vocal Point. I have to admit, they are good. It's truly amazing what they can do. And then we went to game in the sweltering heat (I realize now why this place is called a desert) and we watched as the Cougars trampled Colorad0. (Those are the Daily Universe's words, not mine.)

The loyal Cougar fans!!

We did end up going home a little early because of the heat and our tiredness. It had already been a long weekend. And poor Mom probably hasn't walked that far in a long time--especially once you add in the hills. Still, we had a marvelous time including having Laura and her family along with Lisa come visit at 6 in the morning, taking Mom to an Urgent Care place just to make sure she didn't have pneumonia (and I'm sure that's probably spelled wrong but I don't want to take the time to find out the correct spelling, although usually I would), and Mom breaking my blinkers and having to get them fixed. Fun stuff really!! Mom even went to church with me the next day and we had dinner with everyone at Aunt Colleen's. Overall I had a great weekend! I love you Mom and Grandma!! Thanks so much for everything!!!!
