Good guys of the world rejoice! Your ship has finally come in.
After an odd long weekend, full of both fun and stupidity, the girls and I have learned one thing...we are fed up!
We realized that we spend every weekend, and all of our energy dealing with stupid/angry/sad boys, meanwhile the good guys just sit back quietly in the background waiting for all of the drama to die down.
We are tired of hanging out with guys that annoy us, yell at us, blame us for things that don't matter or aren't our fault, call us names, expect us to supply all the food and fun, ditch us to find "hotter" girls, waste our time and our energy. I am no longer, cheering you up, feeding you, making sure that all your needs are met and that you are happy...all for what...for you to just yell at me...no thanks.
We have made a list, we have checked it twice and we know who is naughty and who is nice.
Nice guys, don't worry. We will continue to call you, to have you part of our lives. Thank you for not being so selfish and just thinking about yourself. Thanks for the patience and we are sorry it took us so long to appreciate you.
Stupid boys, sorry you cooked your goose. Good luck in all your future endeavourers, hopefully you can find someone to take over where we left off. I just hope they can stand you for longer than we did.

What Do You Call A Boomerang That Doesn't Come Back?
With the Summer Weekend Fun Program in full swing, this weekend we went to Thunder in the Valley in the Crowsnest Pass.
We loaded up Sarah's truck, and my beautiful...rented Jeep and went to pick up the gang. Trevor was wanting to take his quad so we spent quite a long time trying to get it going and loaded into the truck. Finally after a lot of messing around, we go on the road for our great road trip.
After a great drive with hot boys, wonderful girls and of course my amazing ipod, we stopped at this sketchy, sketchy gas station with a million bikers outside for some unknown reason. The bathrooms inside were such a disgrace. I think I got some horrible disease from just looking at the bathrooms let alone using them!
We headed down the road, to 7-11 and made an abrupt stop for...meat. Apparently Trevor had a craving for meat. So after we waited for him to get his hotdog, it was only a couple more minutes to our camp.
When we got to the "cabin", we were greeted with a whole tent city. The "lawn" of the "cabin" was full of one/two man tents. We had giant six man and eight man tents, we went to set them up on the "boulevard" or "parking lot" as I like to call it. It was so super windy that it took about 8 of us to hold everything down so that we could get our tents up. After a huge struggle, we got everything set up and we sat around thinking of things to do now.
We all piled into the Jeep and made our way into town. After a lot of indecisiveness and a bit of yelling on my part, and a trip back to the camp, we got into town, found our perfect parking spot and made our way down the the field to get everything set up to watch the fireworks.
There we so many people there! Everywhere we went we were running into some that we knew. After a long while and the sun to go down, and for people to find all of their missing children! (You should hold onto your kids better.) The fireworks began. What an amazing show. Half an hour of some of the best fireworks I have ever seen. They really did a good job getting set up.
After the fireworks were over we dodged and weaved and made good time getting back to the car, and after some wondrous driving on my part (others would disagree.) we ending up getting back to camp first!
We started the process of getting everyone ready for bed, and after a few snacks and some lame jokes. We all snuggled into our various beds...the girls in one tent, Trevor in his own and Cody in the Jeep. We awoke early the next morning, to pancakes (I fed mine to the dog) and then a quick clean up so that we could get back to town for church.
We got home just in time! We were exhausted and only jokes about Korihorse and Pea Soup could keep us awake. After church, and Jesse "dealing" with my Trevor problem, we head home for a long nap.
I think we are finally catching up on our sleep. Hopefully next weekend is quiet and low key, but some how I doubt that.

On The Brink Of Special Ed
Well, another weekend, another entry.
It always feels like our weekends are jam packed, with never really any time to eat, let alone sleep. Needless to say, I am hungry and tired.
We started the weekend with the dance on Friday night...meh. I really hate dances. Really. I know you don't believe me because "every girl loves to dance", but seriously I tolerate going at best. I hate the music they play, and I don't have any moves...none, not one. But, if that is where everyone is going to be....well, it doesn't kill me to go.
Saturday we got up early to get ready for our trip to Waterton. After a stop at Trevor's for some wonderful pancakes, we went to Budget to pick up our giant 15 passenger van...we didn't have 15 people going, but it was funny none the less. We decided to hike up/though Red Rock Canyon. Through the water, over logs and on slippery rocks. Wonderfully beautiful day, great views, shirtless boys, and super cold water. Could you have asked for a better day?
After we got out of the water, we decide to climb to Blackiston Falls to dry off. And then dragged our exhausted, hungry selves into town to get something to eat. We ended up a pretty creepy restaurant that had super sacrilegious nativity sets all over the place....the chicken one was my favourite. And then down the street for some ice cream.
We drove home in silence as everyone slept, and I sang songs in my head to keep me from falling asleep. The rest of the night was low key with everyone nursing their tired bodies, blisters and horsefly bites.

Fruit Baskets Are Always Welcome
A big, giant Happy Birthday to Canada. I hope that your Canada Day was one of the happiest. Welcome to the beginning of summer, hopefully it is full summeristic fun.
Considering the circumstances, this weekend was full of wonderful suprises.
Friday night started with a lot of last minute frantic packing. Of course I always leave it until the last minute! Did you expect anything more of me?
However in an effort for some long weekend craziness, we ended up at Joe's house watching a movie on the projector in the backyard, watching from the trampoline. We all cuddled together with our blankets and pillows, and I will tell you...that was the best sleep I have ever gotten. Seriously, I didn't watch more that 10 minutes of the movie. What was it about? What was it even called? I have no idea. But I will tell you that it was the best nap I have had it quite a while.
However, the stupid mosquitoes were horrible and we all ended up getting eaten alive. We really should have invested in some sort of bug spray, but we thought we could beat them....we were wrong. :(
Saturday started early with the big move. Really it wasn't that big. Just two trips...one for my bed an dresser, and the other for boxes. And then started the long process of unpacking...kinda and more importantly figuring out where to put up my Beatles posters.
The room looks great, and it will probably be the cleanest it will be for a while. I will take some pictures before it gets too messy...no, no...I will keep it clean...or at least try to.
After a family BBQ, and fun in Taber, I headed back to town to watch the exciting Canada Day fireworks with my new roommates!
Sunday was the crowning event of our weekend. After some "family obligations" or was it "prior commitments" we ended up at Richards' house for a co-ed campout in the backyard.
What a super fun time! Super cute boys, mis- firing fireworks, stories including unicorns, snoring and some explanation about "come kiss me" eyes. It just seems like every time we are together, craziness ensues.
Monday night wrapped up our odd long weekend with a water balloon fight and a hot dog roast down by the river. (But this time we remembered the bug spray!)
We all peacefully fell into our beds, and only I was angry this morning getting up early to go to work. Thank goodness next weekend is closer than we think!
Oh yah, and I forgot to mention that in the middle of all of this, my car died. But three cheers for my Uncle Dan for getting it revived once again. Really what would we have done without him all weekend.
Here's to good friends, wonderful new roommates, cute boys, and more fruit than my family can ever eat. Thanks for everything!
