Oh hello, Colarado

This blog should be retitled "Alix Needs to Shut Up" because apparently I am the only one who blogs.

Anyway. Today is Day Four of the Wedding Road Trip. My aunt, my father's youngest sibling and only sister (there are 16 years between them) is getting married on Sunday. So to combine bonding time with travel, my grandparents decided to drive from Los Angeles to Estes Park. We arrived at noon today after leaving at nine on Monday morning.

A recap of Days One to Three:
Drove. Saw rocks. Took pictures of said rocks. Argued with little brother about stupid shit. Missed a Barca match. Hiked. Drove through mountains. Took pictures of mountains. Ate Minion Berry pancakes from IHOP (which I highly recommend - they were fenomenal!). Visited a canyon. Etc.

So here we are, in this fabulous house we've rented for the weekend. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two decks, billiards and foosball tables, two fireplaces, etc. It's gorgeous, and you can see the mountains from all the windows. Rocky Mountain National park is literally *rightthere*

The wedding is Sunday, but because it's a destination wedding, there's a whole slew of activities that my aunt and her fiancée have planned. Tomorrow morning is white water rafting, and Saturday I'm sneaking off and going horseback riding ALL DAY.

But enough about me. How are you, people who do not read this blog because no one loves us? How are you on this lovely morning/evening/afternoon? Good? That's good.

Alix out.

I love Dan Wyatt

As I mentioned (I think), I am currently in Guam. Which means I am far away from the land of American football, including Redskins training camp that Dan has been getting up at like 4 am to go to for the past few days. I actually wanted to go, which is strange because I usually couldn't care less. I am trying to get more into the sport and it was the perfect opportunity. But no. I AM HERE.

But Dan is there, which is a good thing because he GOT ME A SHOUTOUT AND AUTOGRAPH FROM ANTHONY ARMSTRONG! :D

So basically it's 1 pm here and my day has been totally made.

Dan is awesome.

I'm gonna break a rule.

Dan said I couldn't talk about my football. But it's been a long day, so by the end of this post, it will have been mentioned.

I took my grandmother to see Despicable Me today. IT'S SO FLUFFAYYYYYYYY. I sniffled at the end. It was cute. And I want an army of minions! Oh and, Vector is the best villian ever. Because his "crimes have direction and magnitude." I am a math nerd.

On a side note - I just noticed I have the option to type in html. I love html. It's so easy. *Switches to html*

Anyway. After the movie we had lunch at Subway and went shopping. I found a dress for my aunt's wedding in August. It's orange, omg. And knee length and strapless and has pockets. It's so not me, it's absolutely ridiculous.

On a serious note, they changed the drinking age to 21. So my plans of going out with my cousin, Siera (aka the pretty one in the family because she was Miss Guam Universe), were scrapped. So I'mn stuck at home on a Friday night and it's boring.

OKAY. RULE BREAKING TIME.

Thierry Henry is a legend. L-E-G-E-N-D. France captain. Arsenal captain. Barcelona striker. He went to the MLS to play for the Red Bulls (our Rivals on the 95) and scored in his debut match against Tottenham (who play in the English Premiership). And DC is proving to me once again that they may be the winningest club in MLS history but they currently suck huevos. Seriously. I am so disheartened :'(

That is all. Before Dan kills me.

Toodles.

Fasten your seatbelts, everybody.

Hello Interwebs, this is your captain speaking. We have been cleared for take-off.

You know, I wish I was as funny in real life as I try to be here. The name's Alix, aka lilstrawberry, which is a nickname I received from the all-powerful omnipotent Dan Wyatt after I tried my hand at rapping (hey, it was for charity, alright?). You wanna know why? Because strawberries are "cute, small, harmless, and everyone loves them." His words, not mine. Although did you know a lot of people are actually allergic to strawberries?

Anyway. I was invited here because I'm Dan's best friend. I've known him for seventeen years. Yep. Seventeen long years. I moved into the house across the street from his when we were two and we started kindergarten together before I moved later that year. And we've stayed in touch since, especially since I moved back to the tri-state area two years ago. So you could say I know him best.

And let me tell you, the boy is a weirdo. He likes to hug anyone and everyone, especially me. He has an unhealthy obsession with the Washington Redskins and the MMA. He's like my brother, so he pesters me any chance he gets. And He is one hell of a good stand-up comic, I will give him that. Oh, and he's in a movie.

That's Dan.

And I have no idea what I will be contributing to this blog. Besides my awesomeness as Dan said I'm not allowed to talk about football (read SOCCER) because he hates it. Which makes me sad and I'm trying to convert him but no luck thus far.

So fasten your seatbelts, everybody. Because AirAlix is taking off.
