Brazil is Booked!
Ran into a snag with booking Chris's portion of Brazil trip. I'm already flying there by myself, and we really wanted to fly back together...buuuuuuuut....the flight we wanted coming home only had room for one of us. And since there is only one flight out a day on the cheap airline we just moved our trip forward one day. We are soooo looking forward to spending time with Bela and enjoying Brazil.

Chemistry!
Got an 'A'! Giving myself a super pat-on-the-back for that one. Don't know how I managed to squeeze by with that one.
Family Reunion
Apparently my dates were a little off - The trip to PA for Chris was LAST Tuesday - not today...and I managed to squeeze outta work on Friday to be able to attend. I flew in to Laguardia, and since Brent and Amanda were so close - they graciously agreed to pick me up Thursday night and take me back to PA with them for the reunion.
In true Lara Fashion I left my camera on the passenger seat in my car - but did manage to pack the video camera - so videos will be posted on YouTube tonight or tomorrow.
Chris and I had a real great time at the reunion. I am soooo glad that I was able to make it out there.
First, I got to fly - I love flying and traveling. Just something about it. Second, I got to spend the night in Harlem. Third, We got to love on Makenna all weekend. Fourth, we got to hang out with the family. Fifth, We got to meet relatives for the first time and catch up with others. It has been way too long for Chris. Sixth, We got great food. Seventh, We got see the waterfall. Eighth, I got to paddle around the pond with Momma West. Ninth....okay you get the point...WE HAD FUN! Videos will tell it all.
Back to the daily grind ::::Chris has already hoped on a plane for work and should be back tonight. =)

GAGA
I was hoping to get pictures of the Lady Gaga concert here real quick, but since they are on Casi's camera and it takes her longer to load things then it does me - I'll just post some other people's stuff from the concert.
Thursday I drove to Gary to take my test in the morning instead of waiting till my afternoon class, and Chris came home early from work so we could get on the road. We drove to Indianapolis and met Mom, Casi, Shane, Austin and Devon at Roadhouse for dinner. Chris drove Casi and I to the concert and everyone else went to swim at the waterpark hotel.
The concert was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad I got to share it with my sister Casi! (Thanks for the tickets Dad!) We were in the 11th row of section 13 - it was freaking awesome!

Whoaaa...
Today was our slow-down-and-do-nothing-day and it felt GRRRREAT!
We woke up late (7:45) - Chris started the day's meal in the crock-pot (roast) - I finished all of the disks of our 2007 vacation to Florida and started putting together the West Reunion from last year - We went to watch The Last Airbender (awesome!) - came home, ate on the patio - Watched Eagle Eye (a Redbox purchase) - I worked on the video some more, Chris played with the alarm system - and now he is looking stuff up for the alarm, while I am going to study for my Praxis test on Saturday.
We have had a few busy weekends however - for the 4th Mom flew into Chicago and Brent, Amanda, Makenna, Chris and I all went to pick her up. We stopped by Navy Pier and all took a speed boat ride followed by the Ferris Wheel. Dad showed up later. I had to work Saturday morning - we bought fireworks - Cathy and I went to see Eclipse.
Monday after they all left - Chris and I took Makenna to Indiana Beach where we met up with my parents, Casi and her family and Rachel and Ashley. We kinda-sorta lost track of time and everyone got home much later than planned...but...it was fun.
Last weekend we went Danville for the Danville Dans Game with Rachel, Ashley, Dustin and Kristina. Dinner was great at Jocko's with Mom, Dad and Grandma. Sunday we had lunch there and then came home for the Michigan City Fireworks that night.
This weekend The Steffen Family stopped by and stayed Friday night. Chris worked with Mitch in Fort Wayne. Saturday I worked (of course) and then Chris and I joined them at the beach in Chesterton. After that, we all met in New Buffalo for dinner at The Stray Dog and enjoyed walking the tourist stores there.
NOW - it is time for me to STUDY!

Summer Class & Brazil
So...This summer class is kicking my boootaaaaay! Up till midnight, 1 am every night doing equations, balancing a hundred formulas really stinks - but surprisingly - I'm enjoying it at the same time. I bet I would have really like Chemistry if I would have taken it as a regular semester instead of a hybrid - then I could have really enjoyed it and learned it.
My instructor is awesome because he really wants us to understand it, so he lets us make notes for the quiz and he gives us a study guide to use during the quiz. It kinda goes with how I feel about this type of thing - the more you make me write it - the better I'm gonna learn it.
As for Brazil, if you're wondering - Since we are selling the JetSki - Chris and I have decided to use part of the money to get me to Brazil so we can take advantage of his free airfare there for work. He is going to extend his week long trip by a few days. I will fly there at the end of the week and we will stay with Bela and her family for a few day - wish it could be a longer trip, but what can you do?
