It's Tiki Time!!

Melody, Katie and Amber threw me a super fun tiki party for my birthday. We had so much fun decorating and turning our place into a tiki hut complete with limbo pole and tiki's guarding the doors. Even Ken was a grilling hula fool. Thanks guys!! It was a blast! I love you all!!!

Happy Birthday Me!!!

July 1st (only the most important day of the year) was my birthday and it was great!! I turned 27 (that's right, I'm old!) I had such an amazing day!! My parents had put together a game of presents for me, I had 27 presents waiting for me and they each had a clue that I had to guess before opening and each one represented something for each of my 27 years. It was so much fun!! It took me about an hour to open them all. Then off to the mall for more shopping fun with mom and we ended by meeting Ken and Susan (Ken's mom) at Benihana's for dinner. We were also joined by one of my mom's cousins and his family that were in town from Montana. We had a blast and the food was oh so good!! Susan got me the coolest picnic basket complete with everything we needed to have some fun at the beach and Ken surprised me with a Wii!!! It was seriously an amazing day. We then went back to my house where my roommates were waiting with even more surprises for me. Thank you to all of my friends and family for making my day so special!! I love you all!!!!

Fair Time

Ken and I took my parents to the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for Father's Day. We ate lots of greasy foods including fried White Castle Cheeseburgers, fried oreos, fried mac and cheese and the world's biggest donut. Needless to say we ended up with tummy aches, but it was so worth it. We saw the Hypnotist, always a good show and I rode some rides alone, until my dad joined my. Dad even won mom a huge I LOVE YOU teddy bear at the basketball game. It was all in all a great night. Happy Father's Day Dad, we love you!!

My very own Bill Nye...

So I have always had a thing for Scientists, starting way back in the day with Bill Nye!! No one can ever question that science rules!! After all, he got me to love it and want to pursue science for life. Who would of thought that I would end up with my very own Bill Nye one day?! Here's a shot of Ken taken by one of his colleagues at his lab. He's a chemist and even though I know it's nerdy I love that about him!! And of course a shot of the man who started me on science...the one and only Bill Nye the Science Guy (Science Rules!!!)

The Price is Right

Yesterday I went with a group of about 20 to a taping of The Price is Right; now hosted by Drew Carey. It was a long day, but tons of fun. Even though we had guaranteed tickets we still had to wait in the lines for four hours while they interviewed us and took down our info. Brooke had shirts made for all of us that said Plinko Please, I think that was my favorite part. Once inside I cheered so loud that my throat seriously hurt by the end. Even though I was a little bummed I didn't get called up, one guy from our group did; Mark, or Mark David to the Price is Right because everyone had to go by full legal names. He was the last contestant called up but unfortunately didn't get on stage. He did however get some consolation prizes so that was pretty cool. All in all it was a fun experience!
