Hey TObes!

BBQ for Suey's birthday was today, and it was what I'd call a success. =) We got to cream Suey with her cake, even though she got mad... >_< hehe. We all attempted to boogieboard, (KEYWORD: ATTEMPTED), ate Korean BBQ!! relaxed, played basketball, and it was Cory's first day at the beach! He was so puckered out by the time we got home. Afterwards, we went to watch 'Shrek 2' b/c Suey hadn't seen it yet! Me and Johnny had already seen it but we both wanted to watch it again SOOOO bad b/c of all the memories when we had watched it the first time. Dang.. that movie is freaking hilarious!! I love it when you sit with a good audience who laughs just as loud as you want to. =) It was just a great day b/c I got to see all the KIDS!! Hanna, Steven, Pearbear, Jeff, Johnny, Joe, Olive, Flower...! Those kids are such a crowd, I love them. They are so completely off, it's my favorite. =D We did the loitering thing for a while afterwards of course, then headed home. I'm soOoooo tired right now, and I'm in desperate need of a shower! The weather was SO nice today; simply gorgeous. Here's some pictures from the day!

These are some Korean FOBS we saw playing some odd games at Salt Creek!! They were pure entertainment for a good 30 minutes.

Pearbear and I! What a DORK this kid is..! "DING!"

Olive, Flower and Hanna. What in the world is our little Fleurette doing here.. hehehe! I <3 these kids. =)

Me waiting to eat.

I have about 2 days left to decide about school... Oh.. what to do!! It seems like I'm leaning towards Cal Poly Pomona however. Oh bother. Goodbye dreams at Santa Cruz.. You're just too much for me. =/ Anyhow.. Too much on my mind, and too much to do tomorrow...! Gone to bed Tobes.. Always pondering.

<3 Karen

P.S. Here's a little something.

[Ellis Paul/Sweet Mistakes]

Pop the cork, a champagne glass. Raise to the future, drink to the past. Thank the Lord for the friends he cast, in the play he wrote for you.

And if you love the girl, light up a torch. Blaze a trail to her front porch. Kiss her till your lips are scorched, until the rain comes down on you.

Bless your sweet mistakes, that crumbles you down to your knees. That brought you to this place. Changing you by degrees, when change was just what you needed..

So if you live your life in a three piece suit, in a cocktail dress, or combat boots. You pick your path and you walk your truth and the world will come around to you.

It's a long strange ride, I can't tell you why, but there's a place in your pocket where peace can abide. You pull it out, it's a compass, a guide, and it will put a little soul on you.

And in this wild blue world, there's a soul weaving fine feelings, but you've got to walk in paradise to find a pearl. If you only believe, you'll get what you need. What you needed..

Conquer your fear and you'll master the game. Life is always and never the same. Use a little faith to light the flame, and I know you'll connect to you."
