Good day

I got my new phone today! It is really neat & I can do all sorts of awesome stuff with it. In fact, I am blogging from it right now.

I also found out that Joe's brother Mark & his family might be coming out for a few weeks sometime this year. I really hope they are able to because I miss them a lot and none of us have seen the new baby yet. I know it is a big undertaking with a family his size, but it will be so great to see them again.

Weekend Plans

Joe and I went to see The Dark Knight last night. It was a great movie! The funny thing is, I was more excited to see it that he was. He was shocked I didn't want to go see Mamma Mia! this weekend. Anyway, the previews were not exciting, the movie was long, but it was awesome. I liked it better than the last one, but I found the whole psychotropic drug thing a little disturbing. Heath Ledger's Joker was definitely on the "mad" side, but I enjoyed it. Only a couple times did I find myself thinking about the fact that he was dead. it is sad that he will never be able to reprise the role as it made the movie. I really do hope that they make more. I would recommend seeing it, but it is violent (no blood and guts though) so I would caution against taking young kids.

We are going to have Laura, Brayden, and the kids over to swim. Laney is super excited. She loves to come over and play with my girly toys and the doll house I borrowed from my mom. :) Timmy and Ryan like to play Joe's video games and Legos, but they also like to play with my Cars toys and Superhero/Adventure Hero toys. (I call them squishy dudes). I don't think Cady will come since she is in that teenage phase where it's not so cool to hang out at your aunt and uncle's house.

We have to have them over to swim a lot in the next couple of weeks because our stupid Home Owner's Association passed this dumb bylaw that says you can only have 2 guests at the pool. Hello! Two guests? Who ever only has two guests? The thing that makes me mad is that it's because we have inconsiderate jerks that live here and can't see to take care of the community property. I know it's mostly the renters that do it. I really can't wait until we can afford to buy a house. Then we won't have to deal with this kind of crap. Anyway, the new bylaw doesn't come into effect for another 3 weeks or so, so until then we can still have 4 guests at the pool. I still say forget them and I will have as many people as I want there. The pool is usually empty when we go anyway, so if a bunch of people come down and want to swim when I have more than 2 guests, we will leave. Sorry for my rant, but it really makes me mad when a few people ruin it for the ones that keep the rules.
