i came home to a very sad, empty house tonight. i already miss having people in my house. it was, however, very clean. i'm pretty impressed with their cleaning abilities.

my friends have gone home and i miss them already. it was so much fun having them here. i actually only knew one of them before they got here last thursday and now i just love them all. i don't remember the last time i laughed so much and it was pretty much five days straight.

thursday they arrived,

friday they surfed (nearly died) and we went out that night.

saturday i watched them surf, got sun burned, went sailing and then had dinner in laguna beach at BJ's brewery.

sunday the boys went surfing and justin and i went for a drive out to a casino and then took a long, long and accidental scenic drive on our way home. (at one point justin mentioned he may want to kill me and asked me to get out and check the tire pressure - note to self, not a good sign!) and then sunday night we played euchre and laughed A LOT which resulted in a neighbor ringing my doorbell at 230 am to tell us we were too loud.

monday we headed south and went to tiajuana mexico, fun fun adventures. justin had a man offer him his 'sister.' we later hot tubbed it up for a bit.

tuesday i'm pretty sure we did something i think that's the night we went to the spaghetti factory in newport beach and had micah snorting butter. honestly, snorted butter. he won a drink out of the deal but it was disgusting. i was convinced that he was going to make meredith throw up. we then headed home but stopped at my favorite beach at the montage resort and spa in laguna beach and took some pictures.

wednesday night we went out to a jazz bar and then another bar in newport, crammed 6 people into a chrystler 300m and had a fun last night together.

i had to work today but they stopped in to say good bye and then they were off to LAX. i really wanted my friends to stay longer, i offered for them to move in and live forever but no one took me up on it. micah might come back but the other guys warn me that he might turn into a 'dupree.'

i think i tagged along with them more than they had planned on hopefully it wasn't too much but i had a blast with them and wish they all lived closer. luckily i still have meredith. she lives within an hour. you can check out some pictures here or at web.mac.com/k_holt

off to be in my quiet boring apartment. i still have my roommate but he's quiet too. i miss the full apartment.
