weekends at home..

When I am home its mostly on the weekends and the collective "we" like to hang out. This is either by cooking and eating together, or climbing trees, picking fruit, or watching movies. I love being home with my "family"

Last weekend we climbed trees, picked fruit, and watched tv..
This weekend so far we made and ate homemade African food-yum yum yum.

I really love my weekends at home..

Push starting Trams, and scavenger hunts..

Two weeks of training at Warner Brothers are complete.We start testing on Monday, and then we graduate or fail. Either way the experience is worth all the studying, and lack of sleep. I love going to work and training this past week was a once and a life time experience. I literally got to run around Warner Brother's studio's back and front lots looking for clues during a scavenger hunt. I ran in and out of sets,up and down stairs, under and inside buildings. IT was a blast. Then yesterday we were using a tram that was defective and had to push start it every time it stopped so our solution was: don't stop. By the end of our turns driving we were giggling, and crying from the craziness.I am blessed to have so much fun at work. Not many people have the chance to play at work not to mention at Movie studio.

Not only has training good but it the new hires are great. I love the new people that got hired for my training class. I can't wait to hang out and know them more. I do have to say that our training groups have bonded more then most work places do and we are quite attached.

Below are some photos of us during training:)

PARTY love

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown

PAryTy? Um...yes..we had a party at our new house.We continued the noren TRADITION by having Pizza(thank you mommy for teaching me how to bake,cook, and host)..We had people everywhere and the Petree girls running around playing with blocks and jumping on our beds.( having kids around really make a house feel like a REAL home-LOVE IT)
Really, I didn't sit down too much but I enjoyed getting to see and hug lots of people that are important to me. It made my heart warm knowing that some people drove a long way to come celebrate w/ us and just getting and giving hugs was good. It was sweet and I think the house is well on its way to being warmed up this coming year. We are building a family and I think we are all nuts;it's wonderful!

new house, new housemates..

Ah, so as many of you know I moved into a new house(YAY-feel free to cheer because so am I)..The new roommies have moved in and at the moment we are all sitting around the kitchen table playing on our computers. This weekend was fun filled with roommie events. It started on friday when we all went to Target for toilet paper(bonding experience..because "who uses it? WE DO!"Daralynn said that in cheer form)After that we went to Ikea to buy a coffee table and played like crazy kids the whole time we were there..Where we found out kyle is a "rug Hugger"See photo for ikea expreince.. Then after we got home the women put the table together "I built sweden"(amanda w/ swedish acent)...Once sweden was completed we moved to the kitchen table,ate rolls, and then watched the Hangover..(my foot in mouth moment)When I told Kyle I was "up for a hangover" I meant THE HANGOVER. So after that we all got our beauty sleep.. Saturday began with coffee, then Amanda's amazing blueberry pancakes! The day went by as we prepared for a Pizza party.. I could write so much about that but will save that for a different post..Basically, I am thrilled with my new housemates and we are blessed to have this summer together.
