So now that we have a guest bed and a house, it seems that we suddenly have an influx of visitors these past few months. It has kept me busy enough, that between work and visits I have not had time to update my blog. I don't have any pictures from the visits really, but didn't want to miss out on recording.
- My friend Erin and her friend came in February to visit St. Augustine and stayed the night with us. It was fun catching up with her as it had been quite a long time.
- My sister Kelly lived at our house for pretty much all of June and July. Some of the things that we did was:
* See Iron Man 2 * go to the Suns baseball game and watch the midgets wrestle in the after show * Visit Erica Foster and spend time in Fernandina Beach * St. Augustine Flea Market * Riverside Art Market * Twilight Marathon * Swimming * Kelly learned to use my bread machine * 4th of July BBQ * Celebrate Casey's birthday * Ate dinner at Candice Clancy's house twice * Grand Opening of FL Blue * Pick out fabric for Kelly's quilt * Work on decorating my office & buy a sofa
Unfortunately we did not get to do too many things together. I had just started my job and was working a lot of overtime.
- My friend from Alaska was in town 2 times (see other blog entry)
- My mom has come a few times for different things. One time it was for research of hotels to see about having her grants come stay in the area. It was fun going to the different hotels and visiting downtown.
- Naomi, my longtime friend came for a weekend in August. We went shopping at the Outlet to get me some new clothes while it was tax free. We also looked around for bookshelves that I need for my office and found some at the most odd place, Hobby Lobby. Neither of us had been there before and they actually have furniture not just craft stuff. We ate out a few times, and even went to a movie. It has been a long time since I have been to a theater, we went and saw Step Up 3. We also went and visited her old house that she lived in a for a long time here. We knocked on the door hoping the people would answer. We went to the back of the house to look into the back yard and the owners were in their pool. They didn't hear or see us. The house is not what I remembered it being like.
- Omar's mom and brother from Utah and cousin's from Honduras (8 in total) came in August. Boy do they all love to shop. Actually the whole reason they all came from Honduras was to shop! They only spent really a a day and a half here with us, but during that time they went to the outlets twice! Omar was the one that really spent time with them as I was working a lot. I came home and they all loved our house and Nicholas from Honduras loved our colors so much that he wanted to buy them for his house back home.
