quick overview of my weekend

so, i'm setting an awful example right now and i'm writing this as i'm sitting in my Old Testament class. usually, i never bring my computer to class. for obvious reasons :). however, desperate times call for desperate measures; it is a two hour class and the last hour can get pretty long...and my professor loves to go on tangents, so i don't think the info being conveyed at this exact moment is important...something about Led Zepplin, whom, if i'm not mistaken was not a key part of Genesis. not that i'm trying to justify my distraction or anything.
anyway, i had a fantastic weekend; i was able to visit home. it was my grandpa's 80th birthday, so it was a pretty big event...didn't think i could miss it. friday night i got on the train and went back to good ol' Long Beach. the evening was simply relaxing and i got to hang out with my family for a bit.
saturday began with a trip out to Whittier in order to pick Justin up so he too could join in the festivities. after he finally answered the door (i called him 5 times and rang the doorbell 4 times...his music was too loud) we hung out at his house for a while as he got his stuff together. then we decided to go to Jamba Juice on the way back to my house, which then turned in to getting Indian food...don't ask how.
finally we arrived at my house, where people were beginning to arrive for our grandpa's birthday celebration. it was a pretty good time as i got to see some family i haven't seen in a while and even met some family i have never met before.
the wii was definitely the main event after the party was over (somewhat during the party as well for that matter). Justin also showed me some of his recent songs he has made and then we began writing a song. it's going to be a top seller; i can see it now. haha
at about 7:30pm gary then had the brilliant idea for us all to walk up to yogurt land even though none of us wanted anything to eat. oh well, it was nice walk and Katie got some frozen yogurt.
after that i took Justin back home and then watched a movie with my parents for a little while.
Sunday, we all (Gary, my mom, Betsy, Katie and i) went out to brunch, which was fun.
i came back Sunday night and now my week is back in full swing. it was a nice break though.
i hope you all are having a good start to your February's :)
