So, last saturday my mother made an appointment to go and jump out of a perfectly good airplane. My dad bought this for her a while ago and she finally made time for it! I wish I could have been there with you mom, but I can't wait for the video! I am glad you made it up and down safely! GO MOM! 
As So you think you can Dance gets to the final few dancers, my other, most favoritest show begins! PROJECT RUNWAY!!! YAY! I have seen the first two episodes thus far and so far I think I have 2 favs. I like suede, he is kinda a rocker, talks about himself in the 3rd person but I think he has some good talent. But I think the girl that is gonna get it all is gonna be the blonde chick, Kelli. She is funky but makes sweet, beautiful things that I would LOVE to wear! 
so the movie post was ryan's attempt at posting something for the first time......
there is a political cartoon song that has been played on the TODAY show which you can find on jibjab.com. it is actually kind of funny and clever but a little cras. anyway, you can cut and paster your face on one of the cartoons so that "you can appear in a movie!" haha. anyway, i was proud of him for at least posting...FINALLY but i dunno how to work the movie stuff so i can't fix it. but like i said you can go to the website and see the movie we were talking about.
Of course, ryan's first post is political. sooo typical.
This weekend ryan and I were looking forward to another mini vacation. I was especially looking forward to getting out of the store for a weekend because all of June and July I had to work EVERY weekend so I definately needed some time to just relax and have some fun!
We got together a group of friends we have out here in college station and planned on a weekend to go float the river. Now, if you are unfamiliar with the whole floating the river idea, let me fill ya in. Every summer when the water is warm, 1,000's of people flock to the guadalupe river, rent some tubes, pack some coolers and enjoy floating your happy hineys down to river. The float can last as long as you wish, anywhere from a couple of hours up to 5 or 6. Some of you may think it is boring and sounds pretty silly that all of these people live for this stuff but I have to say, it is quite relaxing and entertaining.
Anyway, Ryan and I took the day off Friday to get the weekend started early. We drove out to New Braufels and arrived at the riverhouse at about 11 am. This house was so cute! Mr. Evans, the gentleman who opened up his house to us, had it decorated inside and out with University of Texas stuff. He had a burnt orange chevy sitting in the driveway, UT curtains, paintings, toilet seat, I mean everything. Mr. E is a pretty cool guy too. He actually had a house up the street that he actually lives in so he just has the river house so he can have people come and visit and it located RIGHT on the river! So you walk out the back door, down the stairs and hop right into the river. Nice.
I keep getting off track. Sorry. So once Ryan and I got to the house we got our tubes and got ready for float #1. Tim, one of our friends made a radio river proof so as we enjoyed the beautiful view we could also enjoy our country music. There were a couple of rapids we had to maneuver through but at the end of the four hours we all made it in one piece back to the trucks.
Then Saturday we woke up ate some breakfast waited for a couple more friends to join us and started the float all over again. After float #2, we all made it again safely down the river headed back to the house and got ready to go into Gruene and enjoy some AMAZING mexican food at Adobe Verde. It was very yummy! After dinner we just came back to the house and made our way to bed. All that time in the sun can really wear ya out! All in all Ryan and I had lots of fun and really enjoyed ourselves and time we had together.
I just love summer! We have had a very busy July and it isn't over yet! We have one more vacation planned for the last week of july/first week of august to celebrate our ONE YEAR anniversary! I can't even believe how fast this first year has flown by!
being the sucker for reality television that i am i watched every episode of the bachelorette this season and WOW! i cannot believe that deanna picked jesse! i do think that he is extreemly down to earth and will, no matter what, always be himself. but i will say that i totally thought from the beginning that deanna would pick jason. i was truly surprised. However, i was soooo happy to see how in love the two of them were in the after the rose episode. they were absolutely adorable. they couldn't stop smiling, saying i love you, holding hands, kissing each other.....you can tell they are in it forever. yay for jesse and deanna!! i hope they film their wedding on the show as well!
now i will continue to watch, So You Think You Can Dance.....
