That's What She Said!!!!

Seeing as it's been a considerable amount of time since our last post I thought I would take it upon myself to put up something new for those of you that check this space out.* Nevertheless, here's what we've had going on since the last time Brit got on this space:

- First, my folks came to town (as the cleaning post indicated) and it was really great to see them. However, it still makes life a little hectic. My mom flew in on Friday the 29th and my pops came in on Sunday. It was nice to have them around because it's been a little while since we last saw them, and it's always a special occasion anytime that we can entice my dad to visit Las Vegas. They were in town to celebrate my birthday on the 4th... and celebrate we did! In addition to my parents, one of my best friends Jake hit the town as well. The main attraction for the week was of course the 4th and we had a great time sitting by the pool, bbqing and watching the fireworks. But more importantly (and much more excitingly) Brit taught my dad and Jake and his buddy Jensen how to play craps, and my did they catch the fever. I think that I can officially say that good times were had by all, though everyone is probably a bit more tired after last week.
- Second, Brittany spent the last five days in LA moving Priscilla into her new digs, so I've been holding down the fort all on my own, and as most of you can guess that's always a risky endeavor. Thankfully I proved to be responsible enough that I did not burn down the house, I managed to keep the dogs and cat fed, and I even learned that I'm really not a terrible cook. In my boredom this weekend I decided that I was going to make myself some tasty treats... and let me tell you that if you need a recipe for blueberry muffins, steak au poivre or a basic risotto, I've got them!

Anyway, that's basically what's been going on here at the House of Rulis lately, and life doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon. And (and yes I know that I shouldn't be starting a sentence with 'and') I know that I can speak for both of us when I say I hope that we can share more good times with all of you in the near future.

* I just would like to say that I am flattered that you are interested in checking out what's going on with the Rulis', so thanks!
