The house is.... semi clean and I've got a headache.
*Deep Breath*
See, things could be worse.
Actually things are going pretty well. The trip to Utah was for a sisters wedding which was wonderful. She looked beautiful and it was nice to see family who I haven't seen in a while. It was also really nice to see the mountains and the cooler air and play with my niece and my nephew.
We came home for three days and then my parents and I went off to Santa Barbara, California for the weekend and the Fourth of July. It was nice seeing the beach and the mountains in such a close time period. The best far was the reason we went to California. Which was to help clean out my grandmothers kitchen and get rid of stuff that she no longer needs. She was really grateful for all the help.
But one of the best things of going wasn't the service, or the visits to the beach, but the time I got to spend with my grandparents. They are getting on in age and their memories aren't as good as they used to be. It was hard to see, but what made it so special was hearing my grandmother and grandfather talking about things they did remember. About growing up in the depression. Stories I had never heard before. And it was really special to hear about their childhood and growing up for them. It's made me feel closer to them then I have ever felt. It was really really special.
I love spending time alone with my dad. And I got to go to the art show at the Santa Barbara wharf. We saw some really cool things and I got to spend time with my dad which is always special.
After coming home, my sister and brother in law were in town to drop off their kids while they left out of town. We had them for the weekend, four kids exhausting. Not that I don't love my niece and nephews. We took them to go see "Toy Story 3" which was funny. But by far the best part was the Spanish Buzz.
Now my parents are out of town, I'm home alone, trying to slowly get the house clean. My oldest nephew spent the night last night where we watched movies, and then went to go see "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" which was awesome. Who ever came up with horrified plugs was a genius, a messed up one, but a genius.
Next Saturday I have driving school for running a red light, my first time. Feel like a total idiot. I have shopping to do before I leave, a house to finish cleaning up as much as I can before my parents come home on Sunday. Mostly because I can only live in a messy house for so long.
Some time at the end of the month I'm going to Chicago. Which I am thrilled about. I need to make a list and time for things to go do and see. Although my main reason is going to help my brother and sister in law with their new baby. So excited to see her.
What I'm going to do when I get back?
Look for work most likely. I'm not worried.

Here we go.
