Life in Hoboken

It has been a week since I have been back in Hoboken. I went home June 23rd for my graduation party and did not end up leaving until July 2nd. I was going to go back sooner, but Grandma ended up staying at our house and Matt's car was not ready to be picked up from the paint shop in West Lafayette. My break was not so much a break because I am not doing anything now and I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off while I was home. First, the morning after I got home I had to take Matt's car to West Lafayette to get the convertible replaced, then they called Friday saying I could come pick it up... Although, after the top was replaced, I needed to take it across the street to get painted. So I pretty much drove two hours to drive the car across the street. The rest of Friday consisted of last minute shopping for the party.

Saturday was the day of my graduation party and I had a blast! I was able to meet family I have never met before, which was really nice! I love being with family so it was nice meeting ones I actually got along with :) Then I also got to see family I have not seen in a while... We turned my graduation party into a Linsemeyer/Dysard family reunion (mom's side). I wanted to see everyone before I left... Then from Dad's side I had my Uncle Vic and Aunt Pat come, which I have always enjoyed their company. Uncle Vic is one of 16 kids, YIKES!

The Neighbors...

My Best Friend Jessica and her man Abe

G'ma and her crazy friends

Some of the Linsemeyers

Martin people

So after the graduation party, I was able to spend some time with Kim and the kids at their friends house. Then back to crazy schedule! We found our dirt bike paperwork and realized we had a warranty on it still! So, the next project was to drive the dirt bike to Valparaiso to get that fixed prior to me leaving. Luckily, Dad agreed to pick it up so it did not matter when it was done. We just found out yesterday it was an easy fix, THANK GOD!!! Wednesday I went with mom to babysit, which was fun. We went to the zoo and the Long Beach Country Club...

This is Patrick, he is so stinking cute :) He is so much fun to be around. He made me laugh when he was looking at the birds... Here is that picture!

My main goal was to get back to Hoboken for the NYC fireworks, which I was fortunate enough to accomplish. I rented the trailor for the corvette and we took off Friday night. (The paint shop took forever!!! He told us to get there at three and the car was not ready until 8!!!) So we left at 8PM to head to NJ. Needless to say we pulled over for a couple of hours to sleep. I could not drive the truck to help my dad at all because Matt's car would probably end up off a cliff somewhere if I drove. Jada was fantastic in the truck. Took her forever to stop surfing the middle counsel, but she was good. (I think dad was about to throw her out of the truck if she did not stop surfing)

I am here now, looking for a job! I interviewed at The W hotel across the street, which I am crossing all fingers I get... It will be fun there, I like the atmosphere and the perks :) We can stay in any W/Starwood hotel for only $30-60 a night. (Family too)...
