Bryan & Brittney Austin

So, yeah I really suck at keeping this thing up to date. Sorry. It is too hard to keep up with the technology of today sometimes.

Well I guess we will start with the latests. Bryan is still looking for a job but he seems to becoming a little more serious about it lately which is really nice. He is trying SO hard to find one right now. He is applying everywhere he can and keeping the house clean. I really can't complain right now. He even is cooking meals at night which is so nice to come home to a meal. Love it!

We went paint balling this last weekend and had a good time for sure. Let me paint you a very vivid picture. The day was warm with a warm breezy wind. We met at Cassie's house where we bantered one another with smack talk such as "Ready to get owned?" and "Oh it is on like Donkey Kong." We all crawled (literally crawled) into Cassie's car and made our way onto the freeway towards my doom. The car drive was filled with laughter and jokes and happy feelings. We got to the paintball arena where we proceeded to pay the piper and rent some equipment less than standard equipment masks and fearingly failing paint ball guns. This equipment that was supposed to be our only means of defense and protection would be the type of equipment that the first guy to die in war would have. I had the feeling that bubble wrap and a marshmallow shooting gun would have been more protective and given me more comfort. The whistle was blown and we made our way to the war arena. The arena was covered with paint practically and filled with half filled inflatable life size building block. The ground was slippery with the remains of previously shot and fallen paint balls that for sure should have been a sign to me that this was probably a bad idea. We were separated into two groups, Cassie and Bryan on one team and Todd (Cassie's boyfriend) and myself on another. We made our ways through the battlefield to our designated starting points. "The game (game yeah right, more like war) will begin in 5 seconds," yelled the referee. He blew the whistle and we all scattered like coach roaches caught in a sudden shining light. I hid behind what I though was a good BIG mostly inflated building block. I was feeling pretty good about my chances at this point. I watched out of the corner of my eye as my team mate made his way around the inflatable toys and disappeared from my sight. I could see Cassie hiding and started to try and take her out. Now, at this point in time by gun malfunctioned (which no one told the girl that has never done this before to make sure to turn on the air) and as I went to make some adjustments to my failing weapon by looking down at it trying my hardest to hide behind my only means of shelter from the crossfire, the stealth killing machine man, Bryan, jumped up out of nowhere and fired a mass swarm of paint balls in my direction. With my guard being down and the same with my head, one of the many drilled it's way into my skull filling me with agony and pain and many profanities that no matter who you were, even if you were Gandhi you would yell "Shit!!!" I raised my hands in defeat and felt like I should fall to the ground and claim casualty. Bryan feeling the wonders of victory rose his hands in success and got revenge on every time I had asked him to take out the garbage, pick up his undies, and clean the toilet.

I only made it one more round of the game and one more game following before having to be put on the injured list for the day. We had a good time though. I got hit two more times once in the hip by the amazing amazon woman Cassie, and once in the mask again hit by Bryan. That boy watches the military channel way too much. Cassie had her own casualties of getting hit in the knee and butt by Bryan of course. Todd was hit about 5 time by Bryan and a couple times by the little kids that were like midget ninjas that were dominating the field. Bryan was only hit once but still managed to get the most paint on him of course. Messy fun! The only way I will ever go with Bryan again is if a helmet is involved.

We recently signed up for Netflix also and I love it. You can watch the movies and TV shows on the XBOX live. I have loved it because it has given me a chance to watch more movies that I have missed out on and I have even taken it upon myself to watch the top 100 horror movies out there and a few B- flicks as well just because being that I work two jobs I don't get much of an opportunity to watch movies like a used to and I don't really get any time to myself. So the movies on the XBOX have been awesome. We recently watched a pretty gory one called "The Hostel." If you want one that will scare you out of any hotel, European country, and pretty much trusting anyone ever again watch this movie. It is about three friends that are backpacking through Europe and find out about this Hostel in a small town that the girls are pretty and will do anything you want them to. It sounds too good to be true because then soon the friends find that each one is disappearing without a trace. Good movie for a gory movie and would only recommend it to you true horror movie fans.

A few more movies that I have actually got to watch finally has been some not so good ones but some goods ones too. I would recommend watching The Heist, Carlos Mencia: No Stings Attached, Karla, Tell-Tale, The Alphabet Killer, The Proposal, The Ghost and the Darkness, The People Under the Stairs, and the Evil Dead to name a few. They really are a mix of some horror, comedy, romance, and suspense. I would not really recommend but were not so bad as to say never watch them are The Stepfather, Follow the Prophet, Table for Three, Sorority Boys, Fear of the Dark, and Christine. Ones that I would never recommend not even to my worst of enemies are Fright Night, Tales from the Crapper, and the House of the Devil. Not that great. Check them out if you get a chance though if you are ever looking for a new kind of movie.

Well sadly, My aunt Linda passed away on June 10th of the lung cancer. We had a funeral for her on the 18th and it was really beautiful. She was cremated and had a beautiful urn that she was buried next to my Grandmother Ruth in. She will be greatly missed for sure and I already miss her.

We had a pretty non-eventful father's day for sure. We went to my parents house for a bar-b-Que which was some yummy new york steaks with twice baked potatoes, bread, salad, and mushrooms for the steak. So good. We then went to Bryan's parent's house and spent time just talking with his dad and some good family friends. Good times for sure.

The HBO series True Blood is back on and can I just say, WOOHOOWWOOHHOOOO!!!!! :) My mom, my dad, slowly Bryan, and myself LOVE this series. It is so good and you just have to love it. Something I really love about it is that is more to the original of how vampires really are. If you have not had a chance to watch the series, take advantage of it. Great!
