After about 3 hours of sleep I wake up at approx. 6:30 in the morning to meet a friend to go surfing. I have my entire day planned out at this point including some early morning waves, a massage and a sports club and then, after a quick nap, head over to my sister and brother in law’s to meet up and wait for the limo.

Getting up was very tough and had I not planned to meet someone for surfing, I never would have made it, but I was in the water by 7:30 and it was cold! The sun had not come out and there was a slight drizzle. To top it off the waves were pretty small but even so, I had a great time. Sometimes you only need to ride one wave to make it worth it.

After surfing, I headed home and made some breakfast and the headed over to get my massage. This was pretty sweet. I was really looking forward to this, especially for the chance to just rest a little bit. After the massage, I headed home and tool a small nap and then got ready to head out. Matt came over and he drove to the house.

I think at this point its important to bring up my attempts to motivate my friends. I share a birthday month with Andrea and Toby, two friends from college, and I had been trying to convince them, and others, that we should all meet in Vegas some weekend to celebrate. I had called a bunch of people a couple of weeks ago trying to get something planned and no one had returned my calls in time. This wasn’t a big deal, but I had hopes of seeing everyone.

Why am I telling this story you might ask? Well, as soon as I walked into the backyard of the house, I saw my cousins, my parents, and friends all standing there to surprise me. I was shocked to see how many people had flown in.

The party was catered and had a Mexican theme to it. There was even a Mariachi Band playing for part of the night as well as a bartender. I’m hoping to get pics on my website soon but that depends on how fast I can get them from other people since I didn’t have my camera with me.

By the end of the night everyone was in the pool and a couple pinata’s had been destroyed.

Thanks again to everyone that was there. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
