Wow!
This weekend was incredibly eventful in more ways than one. I am so glad that Lindy and Jeniece decided to go with us to Fresno instead of to Michelle's house. We drove to Fresno Thursday night, and I have a post that I saved on Blaine's laptop that I should get on to Livejournal, but his computer bit it the other night. So I am not sure if I will ever get that post back, but it was on the way to Fresno, so it couldn't have been that great.
Anyway, I woke the girls up on Friday morning so that we could go get free breakfast at the hotel restaurant. We are in a new hotel these days since there has been some stealing going on at the one we used to frequent. Well, we miss the old breakfast, but not much else. While we were finishing our meal that morning, a woman came in with a Tinkerbell shirt on and sat at a corner table and read. When Lindy went up to get coffee (wearing HER Tinkerbell shirt, of course), the woman commented on how they matched. Back at our table, I watched Ryan Stiles walk through the breakfast area and talk to the woman (who I later found to be Laura Hall, piano player for the show Who's Line is it Anyway?). The girls and I just sat there with our jaws hanging down. We waited for them to finish their breakfast on the outdoor patio, and then we made our move to get some pics with some celebrities. Laura Hall asked to hold Thayana while we took a pic with Ryan, and I told her that we wanted a pic with her too. I think she was surprised. They were really nice and accomodating considering we were taking up their personal time. They asked about the kids and told us that they all had kids too. Ryan asked what we planned to call Thayana for short. Hee hee - we haven't figured that one out yet, and I told him that. I told Ryan how Ton got a pic with Colin in a hotel in Sac, and he said that the troupe planned to be there Sat. There are so many things that I want to say now, but I can't since I was so nervous at the time! I wrote him a message on Myspace, but who knows if it is actually his profile or just a bored fan? Crazy. Anyway, here are the pics:

After breakfast with celebs, we went swimming in the hotel pool, and here is an especially cute pic with my baby and sis:
We had dinner Friday night at The Spaghetti Factory with all of the CVIS people that were in town and their families. Yum. Here is a pic of Thayana and I:
Saturday was the company picnic at Wonder Valley and it was cool. They have so much to offer there! Food, swimming, kayaking, horse shoes, game rooms, etc. I am so glad we went. The girls had an AWESOME time, and so did I. Here is a pic of Blaine, Thayana and I:
More good news: CVIS has a retirement plan in place and they have been paying into it for the past two years! Yay! Not that we plan to retire on such a small amount as a plan like that would offer, but it's always a good back-up!
Tomorrow I start my first day with Tyler. We'll see how it all goes!
