Yawn...

I'm tired. I slept in until 8:30 this morning which is later than I have slept in a long time. Ok, so last Thursday (the 2nd of April) I decided that I was going to take Friday off and leave early for Alamo since Jess and the kids were already there. Thursday night I came home and packed my bag but I didn't want to leave yet because Jordan's girlfriend was flying in that night and I wanted to meet here. When she got here I only got to say a quick hello before they had to leave again so I didn't get to talk to her like I had wanted to. After they left I got in the car and headed for Alamo. It was really windy the whole way there, but it wasn't too bad of a drive. I got there a little after 10 so everyone was asleep except for my mom. I just went right to bed because I was tired (well I tried to go to bed but I wasn't successful until several hours later...story of my life). On Friday I woke up (really early thanks so much brother!) and the boys came up and we had chocolate chip pancakes...they were so good. We didn't do much the rest of the day Friday just hung out and chatted. On Saturday we had to get up really early so that we could be to the fire station by 6:45 to get everything set up for the 5k. Holy mother was it cold! I believe it was 34 degrees when we got out of the truck. The 5k went well and we headed home a little after 9 to rest a little before Ryan's baptism. The baptism was short and sweet. It was mostly just family and Ryan did really well. Tyson gave a little talk on baptism and it was cute. After that we all went home to change so we could go to the park for a BBQ. The food was so good and I think we all had a good time. Jess, my mom, and the kids had to leave early because the kids were tired and Jess ended up just heading back to Vegas. After the BBQ we just went back to my mom's house and hung out. On Sunday I got up and Tyson and Andrea came up to have some breakfast burritos. Tyson just stayed there so we could leave for Vegas. We left around 10 or so. We got some lunch on the way into town and took it to Jessica's house. After lunch I had to have Jess follow me to the Palms so I could drop off my car because Samantha had arranged for a limo to pick us up and take us to the concert but we would still need a way home. After we did that Jess and I took Tyson to Wal Mart so that he could buy a new air soft gun because the one he had gotten for his birthday had broken. A little while after we got home it was time to leave for the concert. Sam came over to ride with us in the limo. We had the driver take us to In-N-Out Burger because that's what Tyson had wanted. It was kind of embarrassing pulling up there in a limo (right in front of the doors), but it was fun to ride around town eating our burgers. After that he dropped us off at the Palms. There were 4 other bands playing besides Fall Out Boy and we didn't know 2 of them so we didn't get to the concert right when it started. We arrived a little after 7 and we were just in time for Cobra Starship. I only knew one of their songs, but I might have fallen in love with the lead singer. I couldn't actually see what he looked like, but he seemed hot. lol After Cobra Starship there was an intermission so they could set up for Metro Station so Tyson and I headed out to the bathrooms. When we were done I asked Tyson if he wanted to go look at the T-shirts they had for sale and he told me he didn't have any money and I told him it was ok because I did. I wasn't going to get him a shirt because I had already ordered him one from the fan club, but I couldn't help myself. We got in line and got him a t-shirt and made it back to our seats just in time for Metro Station. They were really horrible. They don't sound good live at all. After Metro Station there was like a 45 minute intermission while they set up for FOB and poor Tyson was so tired. When FOB finally did make it on stage everyone stood up so we had to stand up too otherwise we wouldn't be able to see. Tyson was so tired he couldn't even stand up very long to see them so after 6 or 7 songs I asked him if he was ready to leave and he said yes. Poor little guy is used to being in bed really early and it was already 10. We stopped for a beverage and then we were on our way back to Jessica's house. We slept on the couch and we woke up really early (since that's how they do there). I talked Jess and the kids into coming with us to the Black Bear Diner for breakfast and it was so good. After breakfast Tyson and I headed back to Alamo. We got there around 11 or so. I was so tired I ended up falling asleep on the couch (despite Ryan singing "are you smarter than a 5th grader" at the top of his little lungs). lol I was so tired I really didn't want to leave so I didn't end up heading back to Vegas until a little after 3. When I got home I chatted with Jordan and his girlfriend (Natasha) for a few minutes and then I took a shower and went to the movies. This week at work was pretty uneventful. On Thursday night I decided I wanted to get either my lip or my eyebrow pierced so last night I went down to Diversity and got my lip pierced. My mom is really unhappy with me, but you only live once right? It's not hurting anyone and when I don't want it anymore I can take it out and no one will ever even know I had it. I am excited about it. So excited in fact I might go back today for a different piercing. I wanted an industrial piercing, but I had been told that it can't be done because of the shape of my ear, but the guy who did my lip said he can do it so I might go back and get it today. We'll see.
