up and away

Updates!!

wednesday was the dave matthews band. holy crap it was sooooo amazing.



i have no words. i still sound like a man because i was screaming and singing and cheering and all that. i fell in love with dave matthews band all over again. i know that sounds wierd, but all i have been listening to is Dave. :)




thursday, for once i actually didn't have plans to do something. however, brittany texted me and asked if i was interested in going to see harry potter at the drive in. So i texted the rest of the crew, and only collin responded. it ended up being collin, brittany and i going to see the movie. firstly, i got us lost, because we took the wrong road and had to turn around. and - while we were turning around, collin had a little bit of trouble turning in a driveway, mistaking the gas and brake... let's just say he was really shaken up and there's a nice 6 inch scrape on the front of his bumper!! anyway, he finally turned on his gps (why he didn't do that to begin with is beyond me) and we got there alright. he actually paid for my ticket because i didn't have any cash, just plastic. the movie itself was alright. it was one of my favorite books, and i felt they could have done a LOT more with it. they left out a lot of backstory which i think is kind of important to the whole thing. Not that it was bad... it just could have been better. ah well. collin took us home, and for not having any plans and dreading being bored at home, things turned out pretty well.

friday, jessica took me to an indians game. her dad got tickets from his work for club seats. and holy crap, that's like a whole new world to me! i had no idea there was this giant room with buffet lines, and you can just go up and get whatever you want. they had everything from pork loin to pasta to burgers, fries and hotdogs. they even had their own ice cream line!! we were kind of weary there for a while, because wood let up two runs in the 9th inning, so we went into extra innings. and FIVE hours later, the indians won, 6 to 5!



i was screaming when they got that final hit. after the game, they had a tribute to Tom Hamilton, who has been a radio announcer for the Tribe for 20 years now. they set fireworks to some of his greatest calls. i thought it was really cool cause those guys don't get a lot of credit but Hamilton is so likeable and one of the best announcers around. we headed home and i didn't get home until about 1:30.

saturday, my parents and i had plans to go to the racetrack because it was Night Under Fire. my poor dad wasn't feeling good so he ended up staying home, but my mom and i went and we had a really good time. my mom got to go down on the starting line for the first time with my sister-in-laws' brothers (they have dragsters). we pretty much spent the day roaming around and being in awe of all the cars and stuff, haha. we were worried that we would have to wait in line to get out of the parking lot for a while, but it wasn't too bad and we got home about 12:30.

and that's about it. this morning we got up to go to church... went to brunch... visited my grandma... i took a 3 hour nap... woo!!
