Birthday

Well I am not so good at this blogging thing as it was pointed out to me last night that I haven't posted since May 9th. I guess I just haven't had anything exciting to post =(.

Since my birthday is on a Monday we celebrated my birthday yesterday. The afternoon started out great with a BBQ with lots of fun people who I love very much. I just wish we had a bigger house to entertain. I don't know if we could have fit one more person in this house. We had some yummy hamburgers, chips, and lots of watermelon. Oh and I can't forget the yummy cupcakes, and yes I ate one for breakfast =).

So then as we headed over to SunSplash, which I had been looking forward to for a long time was a bust from the beginning. We go there about 7 and the line was huge!!! Who would have thought? Then as was are going in there are the most security guards ever!!! At SunSplash, really? They even took my friends gum. What are we going to do with gum? So we fund a spot to hang out at and within 5 minutes there is a huge fight. Again, really at SunSplash? It ended up being super cold. Its the middle of June in Arizona and we are cold? Then some lady hurt her self going down a slide and some slides were closed for an hour. (Jeremy renamed the slide "The Neck Breaker".) We tried going to the wave pool but there was a line. I didn't realize there was a limit to people for a big pool. Jeremy and I did go on the half pike which was fun but pretty scary. I thought I was going to fly off the back. Next, over the loud speaker, "If you are hanging out by the lockers, please leave or go swimming. WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS." I felt like we were in Compton or something. Some more friend tried coming but they wouldn't let them in because one of them was wearing jeans. The final straw was the leap frog. I thought it would be fun for Jeremy and I to race and pretend we were on Wipe Out or something but only one lane was one. That lane happened to have low ropes for kids. Well I am not that short and don't have the best balance so as I was going across I ended up with the rope under my armpits and have a nice rope burn. I was done after that and we decided to go to Denny's. We are about to take a turn for the worse. . .

So to begin this part of the story, you have to know a little background. Our Xterra's gas gage broke about 300 miles past the warranty. Without the warranty, it would cost $500 to fix. Yeah right!! Jeremy read up on in and saw there was a mass problem. Hoping Nissan would recall it we waited. Finally a few months after the recall came. Nice right, NOT!! Our car happens to be in a 3 month lists of Xterras that don't qualify. I don't get it. We would have to pay to get it diagnosed and fixed and maybe they would refund us. Normally I would have more a a fight in me to get this taken care of but not so much lately. We have just been filling up the car and going no more that 320 mile before filling up again. We somehow since Jeremy has taken over the Xterra, this is the 2nd time he has ran out of gas. I don't understand. I just don't think he pays as much attention as I do. So back to the story last night. We are driving to Denny's and the power steering went out, meaning we are out of gas. We pull over and park the car in a parking lot. Thankful my friend Jess was with us. Jess made this a lot more entertaining for me. We have had other "adventures" where nothing is going right that we just have to last at how ridiculous the night is getting. So 11pm we are walking down Rural, decided to still stop at Denny's along the way and then go get ourselves a gallon of gas. By the time we got home it was 1am. Boy was a happy to be home!!!
