an eventful weekend with the fam

i apologize for the lack in updates, but this weekend was crazy. so much fun, but C-R-A-Z-Y! but that is expected when you have an extra four people in your house. and if you have ever met my family...all of us in one house together is a recipe for disaster. awesome fun, but complete chaos. the "J"'s were in from utah for justin's tennis match on saturday. i'll give an explanation for that refrence so you understand what i'm talking about. we all refer to the family from utah as "the J"'s. why you ask? uncle jeff, aunt julie, jamie, justin and jenna. that's a mouthful eh? see so much easier to just say the J's.

anyways, i'll sum my four day weekend up for you guys. their flight got in on thursday evening, which was spent just hanging out and catching up. friday while my aunt, uncle and cousin, jenna (jamie was not along on this trip) went out to whittier for a tennis match i did some homework. saturday was more eventful with some cheering justin on at yet another tennis match, playing pool, swimming (actually more going in the hot tub) and illegal driving! oh no! yes indeed i drove my cousin illegally to the movie store. it was with my parents permission though, so i don't feel too bad.

justin's tennis match was fun to watch. while we were there the other team walks by as jenna and i were sitting on the steps. one of the guys starts talking to us and telling us to root for him. ummmm...NO. he wasn't even cute, not that i was really paying attention. he kept going "come on root for N.Y.! how many times do you get to cheer for New York?" well, come to find out he was the one justin was playing. go figure. oh, and justin killed him. haha! and that's why we didn't root for you, mister! ha! ironic.

so, later that night (at like 10:30 pm) justin decides that he wants to go rent a movie...psh typical. well, apparently no one wants him driving in southern CA. he has been in three car crashes in utah...UTAH! i mean, what's there to crash into? a mountain? probably for the best he doesn't drive here. so, we found ourselves at blockbuster around 11:00. nice...not! oh, and the movie wasn't even worth it. he rented "Sunshine" it's about this group of astronauts that have a mission to launch a nuclear bomb into the sun so it won't die out or something. it was ridiculous. EVEYONE died. i mean everyone. there were 8 to begin with and they all died. one was burnt up in the rays of the sun while space walking, another killed himself because he caused something from the mission to go wrong, one had to stay on some other crashed ship on mercury, one floated away without a space suit while launching between ships so he froze/suffocated, the next was killed by some human creature that snuck on to the live ship from the crashed one, another was killed by the creature thing and the last two flew into the sun with the bomb. sound at all ridiculous??? so far fetched. i mean a person living in a crashed space ship on mercury for seven years!?!? come on now. psh! in case you wanted to know all about it...look now you don't even have to suffer through it. i should be a movie critic. ;)

anywho back to my weekend; i keep getting sidetracked....hummm...where were we? oh, yes. sunday afternoon i went and played some tennis with my uncle while my mom, aunt and jenna went to the mall. i believe justin sat on the couch (he was sick so i won't be too hard on him). tennis was excellent! i can actually play with my uncle now instead of him just hitting to me. good stuff!

sunday night the entire family came over for dinner. that was an event. at one point my aunt had five of us in the kitchen all helping her with different dishes. LOVE it when we have those big family gatherings. and now everyone is gone and here i sit typing this post.

sorry for the random jumping around...i had a lot of things to sum up. :)
maybe i'll put up some pictures...
