Sleep and Stick Shift...

Hello, it's been a little over two weeks now. In that time... we got a new car, settled into our new apartment with our lovely roommate. Went to Gilroy and ate at "Daves Famous BBQ" - I don't know how famous they are-, and I drove the new car which is a manual! -that was fun-. Oh and Chris did a sleep study!

-Car is a 1998 Isuzu Rodeo, v6 manual (red). Not too bad. I'm still learning how to drive it. I only stalled it 3 times my very first time! yey!

-I think we have officially moved in and got more comfortable in the apartment. It helps to have a cool roommate. We also realized that we are all from different countries! Check out our passports... pretty nifty.

-Daves famous BBQ, if you haven't heard of it.. do question their ego. It was pretty good. I had an awesome pulled pork sandwich. They have this family menu where they bring huge portions of meat on a trashcan lid!

-Chris had to do a sleep study for work. Everything went great. They hooked him up with wires all over his head! it was pretty cool. His doctor said... "sleep more and you wont be tired in the morning"... no shit! lol He was a nice doctor though.  

Oh! also Gilroy's garlic festival is coming up. I really want to go. I haven't been to it since  I was 10 or so. I don't remember anything about it... except the garlic ketchup. To not remember anything about a family outing but the condiments is kinda weird... I really want to go back and try it again.

What I've Learned:
...Don't change the oil's and fluids in your car when it's 100+ degrees outside. Just don't.

New plan, new place.

We have been busy! With the move and settling into a new place. As well as celebrating birthdays and independence day. Our main travel plan has changed as well. Here is the new plan: Postpone our trip to Mexico until work slows down. It makes sense, specially when its time for taxes. I also get to work on getting more paperwork together before the interview. The only thing that sucks is that now we might be over there for the holiday season. I don't really like that idea. Being surrounded by yummy food...

We are also looking to buy a new car. So, if you know of anyone selling an SUV (honda, passport or equivalent) Please let me know. We are going to need a bigger car to be able to take more of our stuff.

Well... enough of the boring stuff. I hope everyone had a nice Independence day! We got to see a lot of illegal fireworks from our neighbors it was pretty cool. We also got some of our own -legal- which where pretty and scared my niece lol

She ran into the car and kept asking us to "clean up" because we where "all done!" lol. I gave her some poppers and she was happy again. She liked stepping on them.

For my birthday, I went out to Red Robin for lunch. Then to my mom's for birthday cake. It was nice. My mom kept up with tradition of misspelling names on cakes.I also got a piece of my favorite cake -carrot cake-. I had a good time.
