BBQ Weekend
I'm typing this from my new HP Pavillion notebook :) The ol' Dell Inspiron has been slowing and down and crashing for the last few months and I was constantly having to restart it, so it was time to upgrade to this shiny black beast. Plus it gives me a chance to learn how to use Windows Vista.
Yesterday we hosted our housewarming barbecue for Isaias' family and it was quite the success. Everyone loved our home and said that we lucked out. In fact, his dad said that it was like "a star came down from heaven and found us." Everyone loved our food and I was elected to make my chocolate covered strawberries for all future family functions. Isaias' parents gave us a blender and a Wal-Mart gift card and Dawn and Mike got us a set of tiki torches--so we're pretty much set! If anyone has a killer frozen margarita recipe, please pass it along. Oh, and before his mom left, she thanked me for taking care of her boy. That made my day :) Dawn, Mike and their daughter Autumn stayed for a while and Mike and I each played a song on piano. He played one of his original songs which was very good. Then Isaias broke out the Wii and we took turns playing tennis, bowling and golf. Dawn and Mike liked it so much that they're gonna get their own Wii. Which of course will mean Wii parties.
We also got the new Xbox 360 Elite yesterday. Isaias traded in his old 360 and a few games and the difference was only $28. With the Elite's 120 gig hard drive we can keep both our xbox live profiles and all of our game saves on one drive. No more switching hard drives! Which means I can play Guitar Hero II on Isaias' profile and access all the songs he's unlocked cuz he's way better at it than I am ;)
This week I will take pictures of our house and post them.
