I stayed at my dad's house this weekend. My sister was graduating from nursing school on Saturday and they wanted me out there for a family breakfast Saturday morning. I knew that there was no way that I was going to get up in time to make it out there for breakfast so I decided to go out there Friday and spend the night.
We got up Saturday morning and made breakfast then all sat down and ate. My dad had to go to my aunt's and pick some stuff up for the party after the graduation. My sister and her mom went out to get their hair done but ended up coming back to the house and doing it themselves due to not making an appointment first and there being a long wait at the salon. My brother made it back home about an hour before we had to leave.
We got to the church and went in. I set up the video camera and the ceremony began. It was a nice ceremony. My sister presented my parents with a rose for each of them for supporting her through the past 2 years of school. My dad started tearing up. Once it was finally over we met up with one of my step-mom's students who was coming out to the house with us that night to study for his NCLEX exam. We got back to the house and started getting everything ready for dinner. My other brother grilled everything up and my aunt made her famous potato salad. Then the drinking began.
By the end of the night, and after a never-ending game of UNO, my sister finally stumbled to her room and passed out. My brother, dad, and I were up until around 4 talking and hanging out. I passed out around then.
We got up this morning and made breakfast again. We sat outside on the deck and talked for a while then I had to pack up and get Pete wrangled in the car to get home.
After I got back, I ran up to GameStop to pick up the copy of Guitar Hero World Tour that I had reserved a couple of months ago on the PS2, but wanted to exchange it for the full band kit for the Wii. They didn't have any extra copies so I went ahead and got the PS2 version. I ran by Target to see if they had it. They did. I purchased it and ran back over to GameStop to return the PS2 version. I got home and unpacked it all. It is a lot of fun. The drum kit for Guitar Hero is a lot nicer than the one for Rock Band. Instead of having 4 pads and a foot pedal, there are 3 pads, 2 cymbols, and a foot pedal. They aren't as loud as the Rock Band drums either. I got about 12 songs into career mode before I decided to shut it down and take a break for a bit.
I need to get a new wireless router so that I can get the Wii back online and download additional content.
Overall, it was a fun weekend and I enjoyed it immensely.
