We have had quite the eventful weekend at the Johnson Household this weekend. i am trying to say true to my promise and blog more. And just so everyone knows, since i wrote that blog i have been doing ok with my no more soda comment. I have actually cut down quite a bit. but andrea (my blog stalker) insisted that i crack down on myself more. So i actually haven't had a soda since my dinner with her saturday night. and that is BIG for me folks. HUGE!
ok..on with the story
Friday night denis and i decided to go to a dinner party with friends from church. i wasn't really in the mood to do much since the only thing i really wanted to be doing is driving to my parents house to see them. but i made the decision last minute that all that driving (cause they went to pittsburg) would make me even more exhausted than i already am. So come friday night, i was regretting my decision. But i sucked it up and we ventured over to our friends Nick and Sharon's house for a dinner party. Their house was beautiful and dinner was AMAZING! we were spoiled for sure. After dinner, WE SANG KARAOKE! Now this may come as a shock to you, but you couldn't get me off the microphone! SHOCKING! here are some of the songs i sang:
my baby loves me just the way that i am- Martina McBride
overjoyed- Stevie Wonder (denis and i sang this together....so sweet...)
joyful joyful- from sister act
any dream will do- from joseph
endless love- luthur vandross (i sang this with trina!)
my humps- by the black eyed pees (i sang this with bekah, and though of rachel the ENTIRE time)
i am sure i sang more, but i can't remember what they were...
the performance of the night though was when Leandra sang "gold digger" by 50 cent. ALL of us were on the floor bent over in laughter. could have possibly been one of the funniest things i have EVER witnessed...ever.
Saturday came and we layed around the house, went to the market (this weekend was the last weekend for the season...denis was sad...you should see our freezer. it is packed with amish goodies) then denis decided "lets go by a grill" he actually wanted a smoker, but i wanted the grill. so off we went to home depot and purchased a grill/smoker. Denis then proceeded to say " I am going to smoke everything" such a silly man.
Saturday night was church, and then we went out to an AMAZING restaurant called Edibles with Livi, Matt and Andrea. I had the best salmon EVER. the company was the best though.
I actually was able to sleep on in Sunday! but i did sing the last two services.
I spent the afternoon shopping with heather for invitations for her wedding. I think we finally feel like we have found what we want. so now...we just have to make them!
The weekend over all was relaxing, which was nice. but everything in me just wanted to be with my family. I was able to talk to them sunday a bit while they dined at my favorite Pittsburgh restaurant, Max and Ermas. I just miss everyone....sigh.
but yesterday (now onto my uh-oh) i realized that it was a very good thing that i didn't take my car to my parents house. Denis was driving the car back to church after dropping me off at home, and as he pulled into the parking lot, OUR CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE!...well the tire to be exact. yes...i said fire. there were apparently flames shooting out of the tire. It had been making a high pitched squeaking sound for about 2 weeks, but we brought it in and they said it will be ok for now, but we made an appointment for this wednesday. wednesday wasn't soon enough. we had to get it towed to our dealer and they currently are figuring out the problem. i don't know what i would have done if i had been driving it home and flames just started shooting out. i would have freaked. So i thank God for keeping me safe and denis safe.
this week as already had it's ups and downs...and it's only tuesday.
oh...and i decided what i am going to be for halloween...right rach :) hehehehe
ta ta for now

Are you going to be a pregnant Rachel?
I am glad to see you have re-committed yourself to the no soda thing.
I love Edibles, John took me there for the YYDHABT date. I had some amazing thing that I had no idea what it was.
I also love Max and Ermas I haven't been there in forever. When I go see that little baby girl I am definitely going to eat there, or atleast pick up some cookies.
So glad you had a relaxing weekend, you deserve it.
you will have to tell me again what YYDHABT date is....
it's "yay you don't have a brain tumor" :)... i miss you bec... I can't believe your car caught on fire... def one of my biggest fears... among many, hehe! maybe see you at amy's in a few weeks?
Good work on remembering those initals AK...I'm impressed.
And Becca, you and karaoke is a match made in heaven...there is a Playstation game that you would absolutely love where you perform and the crowd responds to how you sign and you're graded and all of that...it would be like crack to you. You might actually quit your job and just stay home playing the game if you got it.
What a Great Friday night! Glad you didn't go home, you would have missed my "Gold Digger" which is by Kanye West..Glad to know that you and Denis are safe...See ya later..Xo
Yeah, you certainly have had your challenges this week, eh?? I will be anxious to hear what the prognosis is on your car - have your heard anything yet? How are you feeling? Hope to talk to you one of these days. I would make a guess that you are going 'dresses' as your sister for Halloween - which MIGHT include a VERY big beach ball?? eh?? ha! Love, Mom
