Yay, so this is my first post on this thing. I am SO anxious to have my entire site "jaycarvin.com" back up and running, with this as my weblog portion.

So this morning I went to Eastside, my church to do my whole religious thing and learn about God, and then I headed over to Kody Davis's (that looks weird, but it's apparently correct) church to see off his parents. His dad is the pastor there and Kody's family was moving off to Nebraska (i think) and the Church threw a little send-off party. That was SO sweet. Oh, and people were allowed to go to the front up to the microphone to say things to Kody's parents, and everyone was saying how much they would be missed and what a great part of so many lives they have become. It was REALLY cute. Some people cried, or bawled actually. Yeah, it was pretty emotional.

So right after, I went to Starbucks where I met up with one of my friends from my Honors Critical Thinking class. The homework was really easy, so we finished it in like ten minutes and spent a few hours chatting. It was nice to finally be able to meet one of the friends I met at school, out of the classroom.

So just about right after that was Elizabeth's birthday party at Moreno's, a neat little mission-like mexican restaurant on Chapman Ave. I'm proud to say that I initially introduced Elizabeth to Moreno's. I LOVE that place. On Friday's and Saturdays there is a little mariachi band that plays and they really bring out the atmosphere of the restaurant. Well, tonight was Sunday so there was no mariachi playing, BUT we got our share of the fun from Elizabeth's birthday song! Five guys came out with a small dish of flan with a cute little candle in it, and a HUGE sombrero that was destined for Elizabeth's head, and marachas for that cha-cha effect. So Elizabeth stood in front of everyone with her marachas -to cha cha with- and we sang happy birthday. The guy on the end played a cheap little eukalali that he probably bought from the 99 cent store. It was SO funny.

Then we headed off to Elizabeth's house where the pool and jacuzzi were SO inviting. I didn't get in though because...well I was a little too lazy to change. So I sat on the side and we all told jokes and hypothetical-situation riddles. It was corny but fun. Oh, and then Ashley Benson had to tell the longest humorous short story of mankind about Houdini. I can't believe that I actually listened to the entire thing to hear the lame ending that followed it. Well, I guess there's nothing better than lame humor when you're in college right? So after we got bored and after a few people became prune-ey from the water, we went in and played Catch Phrase. It was SO fun. We passed this thing around that had a word on it and we had to say something (not the word itself or any part of it) to get people on your team to guess what the word actually was. It was kinda like Taboo, but there were less restrictions and the little word-thing would pass back and forth between teams. There was a timer and whoever didn't end with the word-thing in their hands moved a step forward on the board.

Oh, and the cake and ice cream were really good. mmmm. I love ice cream. Fatty goodness!!!!! Oh, and I got to meet Elizabeth's roomate, Lauren.

I can't wait to finally "settle in" to college: to know where everything is and how much time it takes to get there, and when it's okay to park in certain lots at certain hours of the day. Ugh, there is TOO much to get used to.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy "THE DAILY READ!"
