SF Trip

Last weekend, I went to SF with my brother to attend one of our friends wedding.

The trip was great, the wedding was awesome... overall it was fun.

But there are some ridiculously crazy about big city. I think it's just because I live in a small town too long. But I don't regret it.

Here are some facts that I thought it's ridiculous:
- Toll fee to enter SF is $4.
- they only have 2 main bridge to go outside SF
- parking meter cost $1.25/hr (while ames only cost 25 cents for 1 hrs and 15 mins)
- Speed limit say 50mph but people drive 80-90 mph
- You have to pay for parking at the hotel even though you stay at the hotel

Okay I have to get carissa from her class.. I will tell more story later. :)

My new family :)

The boys finally moved in with us!! :) okay let me give you the background story behind all this.

Carson's sister and her two boys lived in Waterloo, Iowa. The town is not a really good place to raise a family, too many crimes going on and honestly the Ames school system is WAYY much better than waterloo. PLUS Carson loves these 2 boys so much that he wants them to go to school in Ames so he can help them with their education and sports.

At first I said YES the very first time Carson asked my opinion about them moving in with us. I grew up with my dad always took people into our house. So for me to take a family (our family) to our house is not a problem at all. We even took a stranger before (Vone :D hahahah) for 3 months.

So anyway, now the boys take over our basement (but I still have my sewing room) and Erica will sleep in the guest bedroom. So we all good.

I thought living with boys will drive me nuts, but Blayke (13) and Marcus (10) actually did pretty good at picking up after themselves and they do help alot with entertaining Carissa. Cooking for an extra 2 mouths also not a problem since I used to have my catering business feeding over 10 people at once.

So my life doesn't change that much since there's no big chance for me beside picking them up from camp and make sure Marcus takes his medication. Blayke is 13.. he's good to go man.. :D hahaha

BUT Carissa schedule a lil bit messed up at the moment, because she's just TOO excited about seeing the boys and always wants to play with them all the time.

Carson became very busy too entertaining the boys and take them to practice wrestling or go doing sports stuff so I can still have my "me" time.. which is very nice of him. Love you sweet heart!! :)

so far so good I should say.. :) and I DO love to see people eat what I cook!! :) hehehehe

Ooooo what a pretty dress...

especially for only 80 bucks.... hmmpff... I asked Carson whether I can get the dress.. he said, "Sure, you can wear it while you're cooking and cleaning the house" PFFTT!!!!!!
