Busy day

Well yesterday my birthday went pretty well. I got some cool things from my parents and Amber. Got an iPod holder for the cougar, some much needed memory for the laptop, and some blank DVD-R's for making movies. Plus Amber got me a $50 gift card to Radio Shack, which is shweet. We also went to eat at a Japanese Steak House, called Bonsai. We then went to Kay Jewlers and got the wedding bands for in September.

Today, was even busier. Got up at 8:30, and was out of the house by 10. We went to two cake places and ended up getting the wedding cake and a groom's cake. We then went and got my haircut, before heading over to a photo shoot at Sears for our engagement photos. We had a 1pm appointment, and we didn't get the photos taken until 2:30. It was ridiculous waiting that long, there was only one guy there to do anything and everything. After getting done with the photos at 3:30, we went and picked out the Tuxedo's for all the groom's men. We had enough tux's that I was able to get mine for free. It was about 5:30 when that was all said and done, and so we had to come home and take care of the dogs. We then gathered around and went over some of the things that were left to plan for the big day. Sunday doesn't seem like we will be going very many places, but we will probably be doing some yard work, and stuff like that.

Happy Birthday to Me

Well today I turn 23. Nothing really special going on. I remember a time when I use to be thrilled about birthday's, now it's mainly just another day. The last one that I was somewhat excited about was my 21st since I could then do all the things I had been doing legally. My parents are on their way down for about a 9 day stay, to help with doing some wedding arrangments and things around the house. Tonight they are taking me out to a Japanese Steakhouse, which is what have done for the past 6 years now.

My bike is still in the shop, and I am hoping to get it back today, that would be a nice birthday gift. I probably wont see it though untill the middle of next week with the way my luck is with the dealership. I hope that the next time I have to the service on it, I can do it myself. I started testing the paint I got for the bike today, to see if it will match. Hopefully it will, but I have to wait till the bike is back at the house.

This morning on my way into work, I noticed a noise coming from the back of the cougar. It is a noise that I had thought I fixed during the summer, and had gone away, but now it sounds like it is back with a vengence. What had happened was that the rear strut mounts on my car had gone bad, so I replaced them with new ones, but now the things have already crapped out on me again!! I will have to check them out this weekend, cause they are a pain in the ass to remove. Maybe I just didn'st align things right when I was rotating the tires a few weeks ago, and it will be an easy fix then.
