*-*-*-*-*: In the meantime....

So last Friday after I woke up from the worst day in a long time.... Mark decided that we should get up and get out like we had planned on doing anyway..... So we headed out to Newport Beach with our little Obi.... It was his frist time at the beach....and just like his mom and dad.... he didn't like it very much!!! He loves to walk, but the water...he could do without... Anyway, it was relaxing to just get out of the norm and take a nice walk.... Here is our pup at the beach....

We even got brave and let him run without us holding the leash... He's been doing good at the park, so we tried it at the beach too... He did awesome!!!! he just walked right behind Mark and chased him when he ran!!! Too cute!!!

Sunday was Marks 32nd birthday... He wanted me to learn how to make a dish that my mom makes... So I got the recipe, bought him a couple of shirts and movies, made dinner and dessert, had my mom and little sis over and celebrated!!! He loved the food (said it tasted just like my moms) and the gifts too!!! He's so awesome!!! Here he is with his 2 layer fudge cake (with vanilla buttercream filling and fudge frosting) that I made from scratch!!! It was a special request!!!! It came out so yummy!!! But it was way too much, so I took some to work, and so did he....

Monday night was swing night at the Coffee Depot... and guess who was playing there!!! Hobo Jazz!! It was my friend from works daughters birthday (phew....did you follow that??? I'm confused myself!!!!) and she loves to swing dance.... So they invited me to join them.... Kimmy tagged along...and we had a great time!! I miss my Hobos... I didn't get to go to the Vault last Saturday....and I haven't seen them in a bit, so it was nice to say hi!!!!

You just gotta love Myspace for continuing to reinvent itself and for offering new fun free options!!!! The newest thing on there are these cool apps you can add to your page or use for other stuff... My little sister used this cartoonizer app first, and I've fallen in love with it since... It's awesome... Here are a few fun pics that I've cartoonized!!!

So before the accident (like the day before) I got some really great news... Unfortunatley I can't go into detail about it because I was sort of sworn to secrecy.... Sounds crazy, I know.... But it involves a trip to another state, and some awesome training.... I am so excited about this. It is something not a lot of people in my position get the opportunity to do... which makes it that much better!!! I can't wait...So I'll be gone on this trip from May 22nd to the 24th... And maybe after the trip, I'll be able to talk about it more... We'll see..... I'll definitely have some pics to share....

Well, it's about time for me to get to sleep... Tomorrow holds a lot of cases at the surgery center...
