Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job???
This first week was full of getting some things done... like planning our upcoming trip to NC... calling painters to get estimates on our house (exterior... so far it's really depressing so let's not talk about it anymore). I've also spent some time at the beach letting the puppy stretch his legs etc. Here's what happens after an hour or so at the dog beach:
 |
| HE SLEPT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY |
 |
| SNUGGLING THE PILLOW???? |
 |
| OR CLAIMING IT AS HIS OWN???? |
 |
| I LOVE IT WHEN HE'S SO TIRED! |
But perhaps the MOST exciting thing of week 1 is: THE CELEBRITY GOLF TOURNAMENT.
Historically, I don't attend the golf tournament because there are so many people and to be perfectly honest: I don't recognize HALF of the celebrities and I don't like golf.
Anyway, I was interested in attending at least once to see what it's all about and in all honesty, since Justin Timberlake has joined the list of celebs, I've been a little more interested in going. It's really not that I'm a big fan of is... but more that he is pretty much at the top of his game right now (career wise) and he's a pretty big celeb. So, I was pretty stoked to at least see him.
So, Saturday was the day. My friend Amy and I went to the tournament and I can honestly say that I had a great time! Much better than I expected. The golf course is BEAUTIFUL. The weather was BEAUTIFUL. The celebs are BEAUTIFUL!
Ok, ok... enough words... let get to the pictures:

 |
| NOTICE ALL THE PEOPLE... THEY ARE FOLLOWING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, STEPH CURRY, AND TONY ROMO. BUT LET'S BE HONEST... THEY ARE REALLY ALL FOLLOWING JT. |
 |
| SPEAKING OF JT... HIS BALL LANDED ON THE GREEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. |
 |
| I WON'T LIE... I GOT A LITTLE STARSTRUCK WITH SEEING HIM. |
 |
 |
| IF I WANTED TO BE KICKED OUT (AND PROBABLY ARRESTED)... I COULD'VE REACHED OUT AND TOUCHED HIM. |
 |
| AMY, MYSELF, AND JT'S BOOTY. NOTICE MY TEETH LOOK A BIT FUNNY IN THIS PICTURE... I GOT INVISALIGN BRACES! MORE INFO TO COME ABOUT THAT... LATER. |
 |
| UMMM.... YEAH.... JT'S BOOTY. |
 |
 |
 |
| TONY ROMO AND STEPH CURRY. |
The 17th hole of the course is definitely the PARTY hole. There's a dj... the beach full of spectators are right there... there's alcohol flowing freely. And it's the million-dollar-hole-in-one, hole. Anyway, most of the celebs tend to put on little shows at this hole. We didn't get to see JT/Romo/Curry at the 17th hole... but here's a link to a little video clip of their shenanigans.
It as a long day in the sun but SO much fun! I'm pretty sure I'm going to try to make it back next year. The crowds really weren't intolerable and I'm pretty sure we went on the busiest day of the tournament. It's roughly the same time each year... and most of the same players return... so those of you who haven't visited us in Tahoe yet, will you come see us in Tahoe if you can also see Justin Timberlake???
Anyway, my friend Amy and I always go out on Saturday night during celebrity golf week. That's usually when the celebs come out and sometimes they will put on impromtu concerts or buy everyone in the audience a beer.
Plus.. the people watching is LITERALLY EPIC.
I snapped a few pics of the amazing sunset before heading out for the night with some girlfriends (thanks again for coming out LeeAnn... so happy I got see you too Rachel and D-Lowe).

| CHARLES BARKLEY THANKING EVERYONE... FOR BASICALLY EVERYTHING. YOU CAN TELL HE TOTALLY LOVES TAHOE. AND TAHOE LOVES HIM. |

| RAY ALLEN PLAYING DJ |
Part of Charles Barkley's speech... not even sure if you can hear any of it honestly. But, notice the Corona's that everyone is drinking? Yeah... Charles bought those.
Later in the night, Jay Demarco from Rascal Flatts came out and did a little impromptu concert:
Well, week 1 has been a BLAST!!!!!! Not sure how week 2 could top it but I'm pretty sure that seeing my friends and family in NC will be WAY WAY WAY BETTER than being close to Justin Timberlake's booty. Sorry Justin.
Can not wait to see everyone!!!! SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!!
