picture time!

I went back to the town I grew up in for the weekend for a baby shower and to hang out. Pictures ensued.

One of my best friends from high school is pregnant... I was in her wedding two years ago. The baby shower was kind of hectic... as her face clearly shows.

puppers!

On the way to colfax, where i went to high school (and where my dentist is, which is where I was going)
more freeway
I planted this tree at my elementary school with my brothers 3rd grade class when i was in the 7th grade... in 1998. 10 years, this tree has grown.
colfax! aka, hicktown. note the old buildings. population doubled during the school day to about 1500... haha
floof! my brothers cat.

brudder waxing his truck... right before it started pouring.

It was a superb trip, although i didn't have time to do anything or see anyone outside of the baby shower, really. I'm going back up in a month for a two friends weddings, a graduation, and to deliver a car. :)

Auburn looks a lot like the towns of Northern Arizona

Do they catch fire every two years like in Northern Arizona?

rhea: thanks!

cuzface: haha. basically i was like, "i told you so." he insisted on spending lots of money on this new truck when his car blew up about 6 months ago... and now he's buying my grandma's civic because he can't afford the gas for his truck. now he'll have TWO cars. not quite sure what that accomplishes, but he'll be spending less on gas, that's for sure.

ryan: they sure do. but more like every summer :) PS what are you doing memorial day weekend? james and i were thinking about maybe coming out for a visit.

I've got no plans Memorial Day weekend. Come on out and stay at our house if you guys need a place to stay!

Buckeye Native 01 said...

Of course its cool. Come on out. We'll talk this weekend, yeah? Yeah.

If anyone's getting a box of chocolate assholes, it'll be my brother. As a gag gift, of course (I got him a birthday card last year that had men in speedos on the front. He thought it was hilarious).

Anyway, I probably mentioned this to you already (I don't remember) but I've started looking for jobs in OC. We'll talk more on Saturday, yeah? Yeah. See you guys when you get out here to hot-ass Phoenix ;)
