No wait.......that's baby dookie!!

So tonight Nalani and I went to dinner at Shoots with the couple that lives below us. Their names are Cade and Carrian. They have a little 1 year old daughter named Peyton. About half way through dinner Carrian dropped something below Peyton's seat and when we all looked down to get it, we saw a huge ole pile of baby dukie on the floor! Peyton had total explosive doo doo and it was all over the place.......SICK!!!! haha! Cade and I had a good laugh, but Carrian gave some good scowls and it took her and Nalani to finish the clean up! How fun for them! Hope Carrian can laugh about it soon! They are moving Thursday to Las Vegas for the summer. We're gonna miss them tons. They're real fun people. Here's a pic of Cade and I that Nalani took at dinner.

Meet The Parents!!!

Today I made it through another "meet the parents" session! I went up to Salt Lake to the Cottonwood Heights area and met Courtney's family. It was a lot of fun, and I'm happy to report there were no crazy mishaps! I think I even managed to make it through without sticking my foot in my mouth! Pretty good accomplishment for me I think! Courtney has 5 siblings and the group tonight included 2 spouses, 2 fiance's and 1 boyfriend! It was a houseful. They are quite the group and it was fun to see them tease each other like we do in our family! They even told family stories that I could best equate to the Cheetos story!! We also played Rummy and even though I've never played it before I still won! I hope that didn't put me on anyones bad side!! They are a fun bunch of people and it was good to get to know them.

This is our self-portrait after

we gorded ourselves at dinner!

Richies New Ride

So over the last few months dad and I have been looking for a new bike for him. He had outgrown his V-Star and was ready for a touring bike. With our yearly motorcycle trip coming up, we figured now was as good a time as any. Last week I saw an ad on KSL for what I thought was the perfect deal at the perfect price. The next day I ran up to Syracuse with Chris Cameron and after some wheelin and dealin we were able to bring her home! I've pretty pretty stoked this last week riding the bike around. I'm only riding it of course to make sure its road worthy before I ride it up to Seattle in a few weeks!!! Anyhow, for the guys, here's the specs!!!:

2000 BMW K1200LT

Electronically Controlled Fuel injected 1200cc Engine

Heated Handgrips

Trip computer with Outside Temp, miles to empty, and Avg Speed

AM/FM Stereo with 6 Disc CD Changer and both Driver and Passenger Controls

Power adjustable Windshield

Locking Trunk and side bags

And on and on!!!!

Guitar Hero!!!

So, if you havn't been anywhere near the coolest game on earth its time!! The game is Guitar Hero and its about the coolest game ever. You hold a guitar that is hooked up to the Xbox 360, and play the notes as they come on the screen. Then you are awarded points based on accuracy. Saturday night Courtney and I went out with Chris and Jen Cameron to dinner and then back to their place for a BATTLE ROYALE!! Okay, so mostly Chris and I played while Courtney and Jen laughed at us, but who cares...a good time was had by all!! So if you haven't played it, call me, I'll hook ya up!!!

First Date!

I was going through my pics tonight and I found this pic of Courtney and I on the night we met. It was a fun night so I thought I'd post it!!

Chapter closed!

So...first off, let me say, I decided to delete my last post because although it was meant as a joke, I kept hearing from some that it was a bit racey! Also, I want to say to the family that I am as of today, officially closing the Karena chapter in my book of life. I learned alot in those 4 and a half years, and experienced many emotions that have changed my life forever...some good, and some I wish to never experience again. However, my life is now moving on and I wish to open a new chapter. Looking back, I hope that I learn from what I've experienced and hope to not make the same mistakes. I'm so glad to have such rad family and friends. Thanks again for all you've done for me over the last several months. Now lets move on!!
