Venice

So 2 weekends ago...TC and I headed to the beach for the day

we first went to Santa Monica..where he did a bike ride..and i laid on the beach and read a book..haha

Then we went to Venice to meet one of his co-workers and his wife (she just got her 3 weeks ago- i think a potential new friend...yeah!)

So Venice has alot of culture..basically you can see anything..anything you can dream in your mind...you will probably see in Venice (this is why I decided when my mom and dad come to visit I have to take my dad to visit Venice..he will love it...my dad is all about the atmosphere..well Venice will provide him with "the atmosphere")

So while most of you have heard of the original muscle beach...i always thought it was in Venice...but it was actually in Santa Monica...that is a little fun fact for you.

We had lunch at this really awesome Chinese restaurant called Mao's Kitchen

The whole reason I am blogging about this trip is because it was a pretty funny trip...

1.) tc got crapped all over by a bird..which was funny by itself because it was at the beginning of our day..but what was really funny...was he took some paper towels off a food cart and the owner..literally cussed him out..i was like..where am I...what is going on

2.) We were all working and all of a sudden this lady threw a yogurt cup at michelle(the lady that was with us) so all day long...michelle was pretty quiet...reserved...and i was like i am sure she wont say anything...well all of a sudden she picked up the yogurt cup and threw it back at this lady and said don't throw stuff into a crowd..haha..

i laughed hysterically...because totally did not see this coming from her..she is just this Little bitty quiet thing...so i decided her new name will be Scrappy...

Sweet Home...(thought i was going to say AL didn't you..)KY

Hello All-

We are about 48 hours away from me being home...OH MY GOSH...who else is super pumped....

I will be flying in this weekend to see some really cute babies..visit friends...love on my family...and attend my nephews baptism....

I will be flying alone..and for those of you who dont know..I have like the worst luck flying...tc said i must have made the travel gods mad and as much bad luck as i have had...I should be okay for this one...we shall see I am not holding my breath.

I basically have a packed 3 days and I am so excited about each and every single minute. I have not been home since the first of May and I know everyone is thinking..."how can we possibly get thru another week without karen..."..haha..well some of you wont have to..but some will have to wait til October..so sorry it will be here before you know it..just know i miss you all

So basically i am writing to tell you when i get back and my blog post about home there will probably be close to 1 million pictures...so be ready for that...block out a large portion of your day for it.
