Unimportant

Here's the dealio...
Lance and I got engaged on December 25, 2006. 
That same night, I called my grandparents on both sides. 
My dad's parents are in Alaska.
So are 2 of his sisters, Melody and Annette.
So is one of my married cousins, Stephanie.
We have this family webpage at www.keelefam.com where we posted the news and everything.  Here are some responses...mind you, these are from my FAMILY MEMBERS!
Aunt Melody:
"Give our regrets to Jennifer and Lance but Tom and I will be unable to attend the wedding. If just us came there would not be anyone to leave the kids with and we can't affort to bring everyone out ,especially in summer during tourist season when airline fares are most expensive."
Melody is currently in Nashville, Tennesse on a "girls trip" with 2 of my other aunts.  Hmm...expensive air fares, eh?
Grandma Keele:
I am so sorry to have to inform you that it is almost impossible for Grandpa and me to get out of Alaska in July.  That is the busiest season for Alaska.  Mostly it is already booked clear thru August and September...but we are going to try to come out middle of or last part of Nov. and stay for a couple of months.  60 days is all we are allowed with the state medical programs both of us have.
Hmm... My mom later found out that Grandpa has a fishing trip planned for July.  Wow... I must be super important.
Also Grandma Keele, concerning a funeral held in Idaho:
"One disadvantage of living in Alaska is we can't be where we would like to be at a moments notice."
You know what that tells me?  They really just don't want to come.  Because I gave them 6 MONTHS notice... but oh no, they can't come.
Cousin Steph:
"I will already have taken all the time off work that I can for the year...I still debated trying to fit in a trip to Utah for your wedding during those weeks off, but that can only happen if I have the baby way late!! So I really do hate to add to the list of "Sorry I can't come"s, but I don't see how I could do it."
Stephanie's is actually sincere... but it still sucks.  She had her wedding out here a few years ago and EVERYONE came, so basically I feel...unimportant.

Disneyland/California Adventure

I'm having a blast here in the heart of Los Angeles...AKA Anaheim!  We went to Disneyland on Friday and got to ride everything we wanted to except Splash Mountain and the Matterhorn.  Splash Mountain was completely shut down for the day, and the Matterhorn was temporarily closed for repairs, and we didn't have time to go back to it.  But, I had a blast!  My favorite ride at Disneyland would have to be...Indiana Jones.  What a sweet ride!
I got my picture taken with Captain Jack Sparrow.  Those charaters are super hard to find!  It's like they don't want their picture taken with you!  We had to chase him down...it was crazy.  Man, he really looked like Johnny Depp..it was sweet!  I'll post my amazing pic...
On Saturday, my birthday, we went to California Adventure!  California Adventure had a lot more "fun" rides than Disneyland.  Disneyland had a better atmosphere though.  My favorites at California was Hollywood Tower of Terror, and the Rockin' California Screamin'.  Serious fun....  There was so much detail in the hotel for the Tower of Terror...  it was crazy!  And the ride...amazing!  And the Screamin' was sweet because of the music and it was fast.  I was on the last car, so I couldn't see where we were going, it was sweet!
Some other great rides at Disneyland: Rockin' Space Mountain, and of course Pirates of the Caribbean.  California: The Aviator, Grizzly Rapids.
There were several 3D movies around the parks, and we saw all of them.  My favorite was A Bug's Life because it had loads of interaction with the audience.
So all in all, it's been an amazing weekend!  And my birthday rocked!  What better place to be than the "happiest place on earth" "where dreams come true"?!  My mom bought me some nice sunglasses, and a pirate princess shirt, and then she and my dad took me to dinner at this place right outside the park called La Brea Bakery.  You eat outside, and because it was kinda chilly they had their heat lamps on.  We had sour dough bread as an appetizer.  I love sour dough bread!  And then I had herb chicken, and mashed potatoes with a very elegant salad...and of course to drink; Dr. Pepper.  MmmMmm...
It's been nice staying in a $200/night hotel, and getting practically all the souveniers we want.  For the first (and last) time in my life, I feel like rich folk.  But I'm sure the second we get home that will end.  Woohoo for tax returns!
Now...we are off to Las Vegas to spend more money and have more fun!  Gogo Coke World, the best Coke on earth!!
Ciao for now! (Heehee, that rhymed!)

Music!

Oh yeah...  I forgot how much I enjoyed posting what new CD's I've bought, and giving a short review of them...
Rise Against - The Sufferer and the Witness - Pretty freaking amazing!  I've seen Rise Against live twice now... I don't really like them live.  They just play their music and go on about it, don't really show that they care about their fans or put a ton of emotion into the music.  But.. the CD is way good.  I like all but one song, it's a slower one, but I don't know the name of it.  Other than that one song, I love this CD!
Aiden - Nightmare Anatomy - I saw Aiden at the Taste of Chaos tour, and I liked them a lot!  But, they are better live than they are on the CD.  They have a few good songs, but I really have to be in the mood to listen to them or else they just sound really bad.
I think those are the only CD's I've bought since I last posted what new CD's I have.  I can't wait for The Used's new CD!!  It comes out in May...I am definately getting that one!!

iPod/Disneyland/Engagements

So I have an amazing boy...  He felt bad for my stupidity, and he bought me a 4GB, pink iPod for an early B-Day present.  How sweet.. I love him so much.  Now I can listen to music on the long journey to DisneyLand next week!
Did I mention I'm going to DisneyLand?  I didn't think so...  I haven't been since I was 4 years old...  I'm actually kind of nervous because I remember everything being really scary.  I guess we'll see!  I'm taking my camera, so be on the lookout for some sweet new pictures!
Speaking of new pictures, Lance and I got our engagement photos back.  I posted 2, one cute one, and one mess up.  So uh... check them out, and comment!  I would post more, but then our announcements wouldn't be as special, and yeah...
Right now I'm just wasting time.  I'm really not tired, but I don't have anything to do... soo.... yeah....
