New Friends Rock!

Lately, Ryan and I have been hanging out with a super cool married couple, Brad and Hailey Kemper. We have decided that hanging out with married people is much more fun than hanging out with single friends. Brad is Ryan's childhood friend. It is the greatest thing listening to their stories...boys will be boys. Brad and Hailey have known each other since they were 8 years old. Seriously! Brad and Hailey own a sweet TV and a Wii so we have spent 2 of our nights over at their house. Pictures will come soon. Just wanted to blog and say, I'm happy I have some new friends.

The Sound of Music!

What a fun night! My future sis-in-law, Hayley, has been taking some acting classes at a performing arts school. She has been working so hard on their latest musical, The Sound of Music. Hayley is 14 and the most beauuutiful girl I have ever seen. It's been great getting to know her and talking about all our favorite Disney stars, Zac Efron, the Jonas Brothers, Mylie Cyrus...But anyways, Hayley is a STAR. She played multiple roles during the Sound of Music. Her main role was Sister Margaretta. She was also in the party scene with the waltz, the towns folk when Maria is going to the Von trap house, and was singing in almost every song. It was so fun to see her up there! Her talent is amazing! I was so proud. Ryan and I are craving to watch the movie now. The whole cast was amazing and deep down, really deep down, I wished I had gotten into musicals when I was her age. Here are some fun pics!

Wii Guitar Hero!

We had a blast! The Wii rocks. We also played Mario Kart and it was INSANE. I'm absolutely terrible at it. You steer with a wheel and it's wayyyyy to interactive for me. I'm sticking to my N64.
