Olympics Night!

Since the x-press service at Chapman Automotive is taking 3hrs I might as well sneak an update in here! On Saturday xGANx had their first Annual Olympics Night! We had an absolute blast. 7 teams, 4 events, official rules, a judge... the night couldn't have been any better.

You Remember xGANx right? These guys!

The Teams:

Me and John : South Africa 

Jackie and Zach: USA

Ashley and Lauran: Ireland

Jt and Ruben: Greece

Samantha and Alicia: North Pole

Rocio and Manny: Iraq 

Paige and Kasey: Mexico

      

Erich...The Sober Judge:

                                     

Here are a few pic from our crazy night!

                              

                           

Iraq. 

                             

                                   

We won best dressed! Clearly! 

                                               

Needless to say we had a great time!  The winners were Greece. Here's a before and after! Congrats Jt and Ruben! 

             

Two of the biggest clowns I've ever met. 

                                   

xGANx decided it would only be appropriate to make this a bi-annual!

Hope everyone had a swell week/weekend! Hope life is beautiful wherever you are! 

Summer Part III

I've been staring at this computer screen for about an hour trying to find a way to tell you guys why I went on a writing vacation. Despite me being quite the embellished story teller.... I can't seem to find one.

But here it goes...I've been really, really, ridiculously... lazy.

To begin where I left off my cousin, Nicole, was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Norah Diane. She is getting bigger and bigger everyday. 

On an even more exciting note, my sister Stephanie is pregnant.  Days before my cousin gave birth I did a little photo shoot. Couldn't be happier with the way the photos turned out. 

FUTURE BEST FRIENDS

FUTURE BEST FRIENDS

You read that right! These two are going to be parents! 

Oh, honey....

I truly wish you three nothing but happiness!

Lets see...what else have I been up to? Oh yeah, I headed to PHX with my buddies for a little 'Before We Head Back to School Mini-Vacation'! So much fun! 

Fun little side story: Lost my phone. Find my Iphone App directed me to a Valet Parking Lot trash can. Phone recovered! God Bless Technology! 

Here are some photos from our weekend away! From visiting the World's Largest Laser Tag Area, to Water Parks, and sitting around the Jacuzzi of Phoenix's most beautiful resort, wouldn't trade those memories for the world.  

                         

That tongue though....

Had a quiet  little Labor Day BBQ!

Not a drop of mustard was spilt on that Boy's shirt.
Just in case you wanted to know! 

I still continue to be the third wheel wherever we go. Not sorry

What happens when two of your best friends date each other....

Had to say goodbye to a good friend. Good luck in Colorado Kailee!

            

Drinks by the pool. This is how she will remember us. 

Had to say goodbye to a good phone.

                                   

R.I.P. Zach's phone.
It still rings! HA!

              

Paige is still stealing my glasses from time to time....

                                  

Took a summer school course real quick. Got an A, come on now..it's me! 

Campus life. 

I hate exam days! But when you get encouraging SnapChats from little mijas like this!

 You just gotta love em!
             

Simply adorable!                      

Helped lift a friends spirit when she was down. 

"Sorry you got Fired" Heart

Sold my doodlebug. Insert tears.

Sorry Dad...she had to go! 

Drank some  lots of tequila with my parents and their friends!

Saturday at Jim's. 

Spent some time in the Maternity Section with my sisters Stephanie and  Kristin.

Broke my diet...blame my friends.

Met a Russian. Still don't know his name. 

Hahaha.

Watched Jackie sell her beloved first car.

Preliminary cleaning job! 

Played a few rounds of Pool at Franks! 

All it took was a tall Guinness for Erich to shoot a solid in!

But most importantly ended the summer with my friends by my side. Always. xGANx.
It was fun Summer 2K13!                 

                                       

                                        

                                         

                                          

                                           

                                            

Hope life is beautiful wherever you are!

Summer Part II

Last time we left off I was dog sitting two rambunctious Great Danes. Well,  a lot has happened. As many of you are aware my favorite cousin is prego! I love her and I will love her child but setting up for this baby shower is like dying a slow painful death by amputation...

From tying bows on the pardon gifts, to hanging oriental ornaments from the ceiling that won't stay up, I somehow have managed to find time to update this blog.

                                        

No amount of packing tape will hold these guys up. 

                                      

Also, I had the privilege of house/dog sitting for my sis and her hubbs while they were in Mexico.

                                   

Took this sheep dog on a 3 mile walk.....was more hyper after.
Oh, and he ate 3 OF MY WORK SHIRTS!?!?! 

Last week I had to be in Phoenix for a work seminar and my friends and I were tubing the salt river so we made a mini-vacation out of it!

                    

The reunited gang at Dave & Busters. 

Tubing the river may very well be one of our favorite things to do! We lost money, sunglasses, a few hats, and our dignity. No biggie! Still one of the greatest events of the Summer so far! 

Our Check List:

-21ish tubes

-200 Jello Shots

-15 people

-7, 30 Packs

-5 coolers

-200 ft of rope (Left it in Tucson, had to make an emergency Wally World Run)

-Sanity(also left that is Tucson)

                                                

2K12--Last Summer! 

2k13--This Summer! Missing a few!
 Gerhart, Ruben, and Kassidy
you were missed.

Jackie may still be stuck in high school. Note: Look at the hat! 

When a fellow tuber runs out of brew!!
We are there to help! 

                              

We made a pit stop to stretch. Me,  Twerkin' on a tree! 

Our day was filled with fun, laughter, and definitely sun, check out my legs!

For those of you that wanted to know...i'm still peeling!
Game. Over.

The next morning I was up a 5am, drove to China (North East Phoenix) and sat through a 6 hour seminar. Aside from sleeping through a majority of it,  I learned some valuable info and got a catered breakfast and lunch.

                              

So official. 

To backtrack a bit we had a phenomenal Memorial Day. Not only did we remember the "reason for the season" we mainly enjoy each others' company, the pool...and steak, yes, lots, of steak.

                       

                                 

My sister can rock cowboy boots like no other girl I have ever seen.

                                   

Grill masters at work. 

                                   

Twerkin' on a flag! 

                                     

When Phoenix friends come down to visit! 

But I've been back to work for a while now. This is the kind of stuff I have to put up with.

                                   

                              

Happy Thursday! Hope life is beautiful wherever you are!
