I Just Want to Celebrate

friday night we were invited to not one, not two, but three different events. we were able to make it to two of them and we had tons of fun.
first, we headed out to northridge to surprise kayla for her birthday. the guy who was supposed to unlock the door for us was over an hour late, so jeremy and i hung out in the hall with cara and her son nick. finally we got in a nd got set up. ricky and kayla came home and we yelled surprise and she said she knew something was up all day. so the surprise wasnt that good. but it was still fun to play along. ceci and javier and the babies were there. baby javi is too cute! i couldnt hold him because of the whole sinus infection thing, but i could look at him. at the end of the night valerie gave me a big hug and kiss so that kinda made up for it.

we left there and headed to the shivelys to hang out with her mom and step dad. he was the original marlboro man. but he doesnt smoke marlboro which is kinda funny. they are both cool people - kims mom and i watched american idol finale last year so we have a deep and abiding bond. some girls from in his presence were there; we had met them at her birthday party a couple weeks ago. we had wine and cheese and sherry and just relaxed. it was very nice.

early to bed means earlier to get to the beach!
