busy busy bees

today is one of those days where i feel like i need a vacation from our vacation.
our long weekend was PACKED with stuff.

friday:
Matt didn't go into work he just finished some things from home and i had a half day so we were able to run errands and get a couple things done.
including finally getting my associates degree paperwork all filled out and submitted to MCC.
that's right, it's been 3 years since i've taken a class at MCC but i finally submitted all the paperwork and i now have an associates degree for realz.
i am awesome!
then we went out to joe's crab shack for dinner because Matt's sister gave us a gift card for our bdays and we haven't had a chance to use it yet.
and boy oh boy am i a fan of the shack now!
i can't believe i've never been there before!
actually i can because it's a little on the pricey side for us but it is SO good!
we went all out and got calamari and a steampot and a shrimp platter and just devoured everything.
NOM NOM NOM!
and the best part?
the bibs!

we had so much fun pretending to be experts with crab legs!

saturday:
my little nephew J.J. isn't so little anymore. he got baptized and i can't even believe it!
when did he get so old??
he got baptized in 29 Palms, CA so we made the long 4 1/2 hour drive just to be there on his special day.

here he is showing off his new CTR ring.
we're so proud of him!
we got to eat yummy food and play around with the other nephews for a bit before making the drive back that same day.

it was a long but awesome day!

sunday:
while Matt caught up on sleep i had to wake up and finish some work before church then it's a quick rush home to change before dinner at the in-law's.
sundays always seem so much shorter than i want them to be.

monday:
Josue and Elba invited us to Wet N Wild because Josue got free tickets from work and we are all about free theme park tickets.
we rode on every single slide and had a blast!
and i don't know how it's possible but i always ended up with the worst position on the tubes.
ya know the one that goes backwards or gets thrown up on the sides and drenched with water?
that was always the seat i was in!
and by the time we got home from Wet N Wild-ing we were too tired to do anything else but lay around and go to bed early.

so it was a crazy crazy busy weekend but full of amazingly fun things!
i wish i could say we'll relax this weekend to make up for it but every weekend in the foreseeable future seems to be just as packed.
we need to stop being so popular!

wedding

big huge gigantic monstrous congrats to Josue and Elba who were wed for time and all eternity this morning!
the wedding was unbelievably sweet and beautiful and made everyone cry
(except for me because i'm a robot, or so Matt says)
i just love watching couples come out of the temple with their happy smiling faces.

and then proceed to make out in front of all their family and friends which then makes me say "get a room!"

a very important date


so its been for-e-ver since matt and i have played with our ridiculously amazing friends josue and elba and since we don't have the store anymore to keep us from them we planned a fun night out!
actually...josue and elba planned a fun night out and then spent about 2 days begging us to go.
why didn't we want to?
well they really really wanted to go to the restaurant benihana
(yup like in the office christmas episode)
and even though matt and i have wanted to go there for practically our whole lives we don't exactly have the moola to dine at a place like that.
so for 2 days we said no no no let's go somewhere cheap!
then josue somehow got into matt's head and then it was just me, all alone, fighting to be my cheap little self and eventually i gave in.
and guess what...

BENIHANA RULES!
was it expensive?
more expensive than what we would normally pay for dinner but we split a meal so it was actually not too shabby!
was it amazing?
DUH!

our little cooking man was so awesome!

he was making cute little cooking man jokes the whole time and i was cracking up!

and i don't think i've ever been so amazed by cooking!
if these guys had their own show on tv it would a cooking show you wouldn't have to force me to watch! i would watch it every day!

check me out! i can use chopsticks!

here's elba!! she's so pretty pretty pretty!
oh and there's matt. he likes to be that weird guy in the background of pictures.

we will definitely be going to benihana again!
we decided it's so worth the extra money.


after the benihana excellence we went and saw the new alice in wonderland movie.
i gotta say, i was expecting better.
i guess everyone was just saying it was going to be the most incredible thing that tim burton has ever done so i was expecting to be blown away and i wasn't.
sad.
i gotta remember that if people say a movie is going to be brilliant, it won't be.
then i won't be disappointed.
i do need to say though that johnny depp is a babe!
he can even be dressed up with kooky makeup and talking like an idiot and i still want to jump his bones.
true story.

all in all it was an incredible night!
