So school is out... and Ryan and I went Rambo on those classes! Ryan got a 90% on his state test, and a B+ in his electrician class! And I got a 4.0 this semester! Take that!!
But there has been so much going on since school got out! First of all, we got a couch! Ryan's home teachees were moving out of state for med school, so we took their couch. It's great; they had a beige slipcover for it-- it looks so much better than our flower-print monstrosity. However, we couldn't get over there to get it until about ten o'clock at night... so for about a day and a half we had theater seating in our living room!Our apartment looks so nice now too- we got green pillows for the couch. Now with my free time, our house stays so much cleaner!! Hu-rah!
And getting rid of our old couch worked perfectly... we hauled that thing down the stairs and put it on the lawn of our apartments and before we could get a "free" sign on it, our neighbor came and took it! Sweet!
Let's see... what else? O yeah, my mom and I connived (can you connive?)and surprised Liz by me flying out to California for a week! Except let me tell you, flying out here was no small feat. First of all, I was going to come out to watch Clear Lake play Cloverdale on Friday, but found out last minute it got moved to Thursday, the day I was supposed to be flying in. So i called Priceline to see about moving my flight up a day... 250 Freaking dollars! Are you kidding me?!? Luckily, the game was rained out anyways. Lol but that was not the end of the struggle, no siree. I got a head cold the day before I was to fly out, so the whole massive-change-in-elevation thing nearly killed me. The flight out of Salt Lake was delayed a half hour because they had to deice the plane ( it was snowing) so I got into Phoenix ( i know, i know, salt lake to phoenix to sac-town) a half hour late, meaning I missed my connecting flight.
So there I was, trapped in the Phoenix airport for three more hours before the next flight to Sacramento, ears plugged up, coughing, with a carry-on duffel bag ( i wasn't paying an extra 20 bucks to check it!). Awful. Finally, I got on the plane, and slept for an hour and a half of the two-hour flight. And my ears never popped. So that was how I arrived in California. Not quite the triumphant entrance I expected, but I have still had so much fun!So my grandparents came over yesterday, and o man! They had stopped by a ranch store and got some ba
by chicks! Once again, the take-out-box style. So my dad put them in the quail pen. Liz and I were playing with them, and the little things, while adorable, are not the brightest crayons in the box. They kept running right to the edge, peck a little, and then scoot back. And of course Jake had to see what all the excitement was about, so that probably didn't help the little dears.

But today Clear Lake is playing Kelseyville, and tomorrow playing St.Vincent's! So I brought a camcorder, and I'm gonna record them so Ryan can watch them! (He was bummed he couldn't come out)
