We’ve had a busy summer so far (and only getting busier), so we were happy to be able to spend the Memorial Day weekend at home, just getting some things done. Irving is working on sorting and editing all of our Egypt & Dubai pictures, and it is a painstakingly frustrating task. We’ve both spent hours pouring over the pictures, and I’m glad he’s taking the reins on finally getting that project over with. I’ll have to do a post on computer organization sometime, it’s quite interesting. 
While he was doing that, I deleted my whole computer (after everything was –hopefully—backed up, of course) and restored it to it’s factory settings. Sometimes it’s just good to start fresh and get rid of any bugs you might have. So far so good! Seems to be running faster already!
When we were about ready to claw our eyes out, we left the house to do a few errands. First stop was Aaron Brothers to get a painting framed. That was one of my valentine’s gifts to Irving! And then we headed to Best Buy to make a very important purchase…..
Our First XBOX! Actually our first gaming system… ever! We’ve never had a PlayStation or a Wii. The last system I had was old school Nintendo. And before that was Atari. Yea, it was about time we bought one. We felt like little kids in the store asking about controllers and games. We ended up with the XBox Kinect! We were very excited and practically danced out of the store. lol 
The best part was that Best Buy was having a sale… buy an XBox and get a $50 giftcard to use on games or whatever later. I definitely giggled at the giftcard. Feliz Navidad! 
We have yet to actually set the thing up, we have a feeling once we do, we’ll never want to stop. What games do you recommend? We definitely want a workout one, and probably LA Noire too.
Last night, We had a double date with my sister, Mikaela and her boyfriend, Chris! 
We all watched the LA Galaxy vs. NE Revolution soccer game “together”! 
Irving and Chris even had a beer “together” while they watched. It was fun to see them and pretend like we didn’t live 3,000 miles apart!
I’m very happy that I’ve installed and updated Windows and all my favorite programs (Windows Live Writer was top of the list!) But I think I still have more to download, catch you soon!

Oh my gosh, how super cute is that double date?!! That is such a good idea. I love that so much.
We have an XBox. (Not the Kinect, yet…) I hate using a controller so I never play it, but some of our friends like to play Portal 2 together. Josh said it would make more sense story-wise to play the first one first, but puzzle-wise, you’d be able to figure it out. There’s this other game that we downloaded called Peggle where you shoot little balls at pegs, kind of like pinball. Other than that, the only game advice I can give you is on first-person shooters, because that’s all Josh plays. Bonus fact: you can get ESPN3 on XBox Live, which is how I get to watch all the PC Basketball games.
