Hometown Invasion Tour- I wish I had thought of this first!!!!!

Who has heard about the HownTown Invasion Tour?????? I highly suggest you click on the link, but to make a long story short, there is a recent college grad named Justin Sailor from MI, who decided that he was going to take a year off to travel before starting his career. His goal was to visit all 50 states, staying with a host family at each stop to save money. He has recently made his dream a reality and has a blog highlighting all of his stops. I think this is such a cool, cool idea!! If only I had thought of it first!! LOL. I actually heard about the story in my local newspaper after Justin made his way to White Bear Lake last week. He even visited our new elemtary school in Hugo! I plan to follow him as he makes his way around the country. So far his route has been (MI, WI, IA, MN, SD, ND) He has a link on his blog where people can leave suggestions of places for him to visit, and he is also still looking for host families. Check out his site!!!!! He is also an aspiring photographer has pics from each of his stops:)

Other stuff:

Spent most of the weekend scrappin and taking it easy. Had a nice time at Sarah's with Shannon, Gina and Gina's daughter Kayla on Saturday morning . I love that a few of my friends like to scrap now too! They don't obsess about it like the rest of us do(LOL) but they have fun :)

Finished Lanee's book....I think I did 34 pages. New world record for me!! I had not planned to do that much, but Lanee kept handing me cute pics and I couldn't say no! LOL. I plan to give them the album on Thursday at the Groom's dinner. That way they will have it to set out at the wedding. I will post a slideshow of the layouts sometime shortly after that!

Thinking about getting a referral to a ears, throat, nose doc. I am sick of my sinus problems, think I need a specialist. My left ear is all out of whack now too.

Ordered some books from Amazon. Thanks for the recommendations, Rolana and Ashley. Can't wait to get new books, I have been in withdrawal!

Went to a kick-ass rock show the other night at the Rock Nightclub. Got to see Ra, a really awesome band! The stupid lights were in my eyes all night and the music was deafening, but it rocked.
