Update

Bonjour everyone,

Update to the last post:

Saturday the 30th, 2010...Saturday was probably one of the most amazing days in a long time. Well not that amazing because Jenna had to work and I was unable to share it with her, but I was able to share it with another special person, Garett Awad. The day started off by me getting woken up by Jenna because she had to get ready for work so she had to take a shower and turn on the lights. That is fine, I do not mind. So for about 15 minutes into the morning, I laid in bed while Jenna had her breakfast next to me (I love it when we do this...perfect movie scene). Jenna then proceeded to leave for work and I continued to lay in bed. What a tough life right. Shortly after Jenna left, G-wad called and informed me that he was getting a haircut and then he would be done to pick me up to go to Laguna (10th St/Thousand Steps). Thoughts ran through my mind...(Perfect I hate driving). So I laid in bed til around 10:00 am, got up, brushed my teeth, walked to the front door, and a few seconds later G-ward rolled up. G-wad walked in and typical G-wad stated, "Colby I am starving, do you have any food." So me being I guess a restaurant, I provided G-wad with some cereal. We chatted and next thing you know, we were on the road to Laguna.

We arrived to the beach (10th St/Thousand Steps) walked down like 80 million stairs and made camp. If you have never been to 10th St/Thousand Steps, I would totally recommend it, it is incredible. It is so secluded and no one goes there, its perfect. Anyways, G-wad skimmed while I relaxed and soaked up the rays. While we were at the beach, I started hearing some French being spoken next to me. Me being the social butterfly that I am, I asked if the couple was speaking French and if they were from France. What do you know, they were, and they live in Paris in the 5th district. I was like, "Shut the f up, that is where we want to live." So we exchanged emails and we are going to meet up once we get to Paris. They are going to show us around.

Several hours later, we made are way up the 80 millions stairs (man I am out of shape) and made our way down to Brooks St. I surfed while G-wad skimmed some more. Finally we headed home.

Once home, G-wad and I BBQ with the Romans (The neighbors). A little while into the BBQ, some family friends of the Romans showed up (already forgot there names). Then Jenna called and she was on her way home from work. Once Jenna arrived home, we all pigged out. I ate soooo much but definitely not as much as Jenna. Man did she pig out. We all started talking and Jenna's cookies got brought up in conversation. Everyone convinced Jenna to bake some cookies, and the amazing person that she is, she made her famous cookies.

Once the cookies were done, of course the neighborhood kids came over and invaded the cookie jar. Even Ziko got into the mix. Remember, "Keep Ziko Wild."

So its about 10:00 pm now and everyone is poop. Then to top the night off, G-wad called Kirsten in Korea and we got to chat it up. G-wad spent the night and we all went to bed.

Sunday the 1st, 2010...Sunday was another great day. G-wad went home and I went to church. Church was good. Actually we had some surprising guess. If you did not know, the US Open of Surfing in going on right now so all the top surfers are in town. With that, Bob Hurley (the owner of Hurley) was present at church, as well as Bethany Hamilton, Carissa Moore, Chelsea Hedges, and Brad Ettinger. I was a little star struck but I got over it. After church was over, Jenna and I rode our bikes down to Huntington Beach Pier and watched a little bit of the Open. I meet a few famous surfers which was AWESOME!!!!! After a few hours we rode back and pasted out. It was a great day.

Monday the 2nd, 2010...Jenna and I went to work, came home, had dinner, went to bed, nothing special.

Tuesday the 3rd, 2010...Jenna and I went to work. Nothing special yet but I have a great story that happen to me at work today. So at work today, I really needed to use the restroom so I went of course. While I was doing my business, I was sitting next to a Handicap stale and while I was doing my business, I started hearing snoring. I was like to my self, "Did this person seriously fall asleep on the toilet while taking a dump." I was in the restroom for about a good 15 mins and he was still in there when I left. I became a little concerned. I was like,, "I ain't waking this guy up, that is so awkward and that is not in my job title." I went and informed my big boss, and he cracked up laughing. My big boss was like "We better go wake him up." So now it is about 30 minutes that this guy started snoring, and I have no clue how long he was in there before I was. We both walked into the bathroom, and the man was still there. My big boss started making tons of noise and there was no response. Finally, my big boss knocked on the stale door and the man acknowledged him. I was dying laughing. Anyways that is it.

Ok gtg now,

Talk to you soon
