Hot summer fun

So it has been blazing her in Hotlanta, but that hasn't kept the Forsyth's from having some fun in the sun!
We went to the beach a gain in Jacksonville for Brooke and Justins wedding at the end of May(congrats by the way again!) It was perfect weather- perfect couple- and we got to lay out a bit on the windy beach that had no waves, but we still enjoyed ourselves! And it was nice to have the whole family in town again!
Pete and I went to a braves game and we invited Steve and Leslie Collins, and Matt and Laura Adams- we had a good ol time riding marta! but the braves lost that one. I also got to go to the braves game on Memorial day with markus and some friends from conyers/covington for memorial day while pete was at work- this time.. braves were victorious- even though it was super hott! and i got burnt!
I have had a few weeks of nannying my new families the Bergers and the Tuckers and i have been to the pool almost everyday with them during the week which is always fun! This has also allowed me to finish a lot of books for this summer already! believe it or not! i finished the Twilight series in 2 weeks and then also finished the Kite runner. They were all very good books that i enjoyed! i am working on Wicked right now- but i've been told it is hard to finish and people didn't like it... but we'll see how it goes.
Pete and I also got to go to Six Flags on friday with the newlyweds Matt and Laura and it was once again.. 95 degrees outside, and i was not feelin too good with the heat.. but we got all the big rides done- and did not have to wait in line because we went on a weekday- and it was fun! but we left sorta early and got home and passed out!
Volleyball is close to an end- we are in the tournament right now and playing the first place team tonight and if we win that game we could possibly play two more games after that tonight too!!! Go Warriors!
As for softball it is starting up again but it's at another place in roswell by the stake center down there and i think it's gonna be a good league- we won our first game- it took us a while to warm up and we also are missing some of our best players from last season- but the new players we got will be doing just fine!! they are fitting in quite well into ESAB!
Pete's bball leagues are started up again.. i do'nt think there was ever much of a break to begin with, but they are winning most of their games of course!

Posts will be coming soon about our upcoming California vacation!! whoo hoo!!!

a month already?!

wow i just realized it's been a while!!! I have been waiting for Pete to write down some stuff for me to put on here because he had some cool firefighter/emt experiences... like the call of the mexican dude that got hit on interstate 75 as he was trying to get a cone or something for construction.. and he made it the 1st two lanes and third lane got hit by a car... so sad! and then a cool experience with taking a very old indian man to see the Dali Lama to get healed by him.. but pete said it was prolly to get permission to be "let go"- idk but pete didn't get to see the Dali Lama.. but was in the same building! haha

With me softball and school are over! woot woot! got a lot better grades this semester than expected! i even got a B in accounting!!! i definitely thought i was getting a C... but 4 As and 2 Bs overall! Then softball we lost the championship game.. sad day... but its alright we're starting another league up and it'll have more competition! Volleyball has been going pretty good as well... we have a few more additions than last year which is exciting and a i am sure this summer we'll have to get some good Beach volleyball games going at GT which is always fun! Well i have just 3 more weeks till my ASP gets over and before i start nannying..but i'm up at 2 am writing on my blog cause i can!!! haha work doesn't start till 2.. so i'm gonna take advantage of that!

Well life's been great.. i just really need to find a good pink dress for brookes' wedding coming up soon!! But it sure is hard to find a nice, cheap, able to make modest, pink dress around here! but i'll come up with something! Pete and I did get to go to the beach with Steve and (sexy pregnant) Leslie Collins two weekends ago which was a blast!we all enjoyed some boogie boarding and layin out- the weather was PERFECT!! And it was a great get away before finals!!! We all had our funny tan lines from the weekend as well from getting fried, but it was so worth it! i miss the beach- and hawaii!!

game time!

So life's been pretty busy and fun these last two weeks

• ESAB (softball team) still undefeated!! woot wooot!!! we had a double header this last week.. and i've been trying to take my mom's advise and swing the bat later to hit into right field.. i think i struck out cause of it a last week.. but this week it was much better! hit one all the way to right center- but stinkin outfielder got to it... he was lucky! I almost had some pop-flies in left center myself before they just rolled out of my glove... it was so disappointing cause i barely get the ball hit to me in the first place.. its like one touch per game it seems.. but what can ya do!? i am just tryin my best!
• Pete and I got to go to Dave and Busters on friday for pete's friend Gabe from Henry County (aka Fatboy is what he goes by.. nice i know!) but we surprised him there- he had no idea we were coming and we played of course the basketball game and then this sweet simulation shoot down airplanes game! and guess who killed the other 3 or 4 boys!?! Yeah girl power!! This was just warm up to the next nights Laser Tag... well.. i wish i would have done as good. I got killed so many times that first game of laser tag... but then by the second game i got used to it and had more strategy and hid better without making myself vulnerable- it was lots of fun!! and Pete got to come! He had gotten a half day switch with someone at the fire station (originally cause we were going to go to the Paramore concert... but it got postponed due to the Tornado damage to the tabernacle... so sad)
  
• I got to babysit the girls stacy used to nanny last weekend too.. it was fun seeing the girls... but i was not excited to see they had two cats! So i officially know i have a for real allergy to cats... we even used to have a cat growing up (Pinky.. i named HIM when i was 4.. and he was all black) but he was an outdoor cat.. then i didn't really pet cats much till i was in college and then that's when i realized my eyeballs don't like them..and they make me sneeze and wheeze and cough like no other!
  
• Pete has been working really hard these last few months workin his part-time job too.. tryin to save up for this summer and still need to go get a new mattress!!
  

That's pretty good summary for now! School's got one month left and then its summer time baby!!! whooo hooo!! there is hope!

Google: "Lisa Cheesman"

K i don't know about anyone else but i always find it so interesting what comes up when i google my name (well maiden name cause i haven't done anything with my new one!). But i had no idea this was online :
http://saratoga5kfunrun.com/2007_Results.aspx
Brooke and I ran that - the 1st 5k i've ever done!

and one time i found the modest fashion show we did for Young Womens- i got interviewed from Womens' Daily magazine and she asked me about how hard it was to find clothes and what not. It was cool.

lately i've just been going from one paper on Funding Recreational facilities and centers now i'm supposed to be studying for my Sports Law test, but i'm online and watching some MARCH MADNESS!!! I got North Carolina going all the way, but i have quite a few teams that didn't pull through for me for my bracket... oh well.. i did really well last year- just not lookin so hott right now for this year.
Softball team is still going strong- i struggled this last week batting... it keeps going right to the short stop and they keep catching it! they are good solid hits i just can't make it go anywhere else!!! it was quite frustrating, but what can ya do?!
Pete's been playing in a couple championship games with his rec. league but it has been quite disappointing because his team will win the regular season, but loose in the championship game and get 2nd every time! This has happened pretty much for the last year, you see how that could get frustrating!!? But one of his best and favorite teammates is moving next friday to Utah for a new job and his fiance... good ol Tony Bennett will no longer be in GA, and we will greatly miss him!!!! We have been hanging out with him as much as possible before he leaves!

I am trying to be a better cook... and tonight i just made some DELICIOUS salmon! I made 2 different kinds, one was a basic fillet with a little bit of lemon juice and olive oil, on it then put some season all after it was done. The next one i made was a mixture of stuff from a recipe online : marinate in lemon juice (and pineapple juice but i didn't have it) then but some brown sugar, cumin, salt, lemon rind, and cinnamon on the top.. Talk about scrumptious! So i'm workin on my skills... usually i just try and use the recipes out of our family recipe book that mom always uses.. and you know that's always goin to be good!!! Next i want to make the brunswick stew... i've been cravin it!!!

Hope y'all have a great Easter Weekend!

Dance Party Update

I had a fun weekend haging out with the Campas and Dallin and Michelle friday, then playing games and eating at Doc Greens for Carol C's bday! (laser tag will come another day...)but then domination in Mafia( i was a killer all three times) and brought out the wii and some guitar hero. That game is kickin my butt- one day i can beat the game on hard.... one day...
Sunday spent at parents- sick as a dog, but what can ya do you know?! Then monday morning helped start making these pillows for the china room, hopefully i don't mess it up too bad!!!
And of course... ESAB dominated once more in our softball game 14-6 against the team they played for the championship last year! woot woot! way to go team!
The real reason i wanted to post was to follow up with some cute pictures from our amazing dance party on friday at work!!!! they loved it!!!

Valentines,rock stars, cleats, tissues, DANCE PARTY

Well hopefully everyone had a great valentines day a few weeks ago! Me and pete got some great professional massages from a place our friend works at.. it was only 39 bucks for an hour for your first visit! it was great!! i deffinately needed it, and feel like i could still use one once a week or so! they are so addicting! Pete also gave me a really comfy fleece pullover and i got him a monster truck video game for our Wii. We love that thing! We are in the process of beating it on hard, and pete is also using this cheat where if you beat every song with 5 stars on all the levels then you can get like a free guitar and other stuff.... it's really challenging! But all in all.. we are definitely rock stars! We also did get to go see some rock stars: Cartel- a local band from Conyers but it was really fun. We went on our little outing with markus and cade- but it made me really miss johnny boy (who's on his mission). I have also started up the softball league which was a lot of fun! we won our first game by like 10 runs... i scored 2 of those!! whoo hooo... it's like riding a bike ya know! But i still have a lot of room for improvement! But the next day after the softball game, i wasn't just really sore from using all these muscles that haven't been used in a long time, I have also come down with some sort of cold! boooo.. i hate being sick.. i blame it on these stinkin kids that i'm around all week! haha but it's all good..we still have a blast! we're acctually having a
DANCE PARTAY!!! i'm so excited.. one of the ladies we work with who is older and not so much into loud noise and music is out of town, and so me and the other girl i work with who is like 24... we're having a dance party! i'm so excited!!!! I actually have to go get ready for work right now! i'll update soon hopefully with pictures from the dance party!!! have a great week!

Yeah.... My Bad!

So I know i got this blog and then never touched it... I promise I will do better! But the new year has started and has been moving FAST! After school and work started back up (at Kennesaw and then the Elementary School for the After School Program) Life just gets a move on real quick! A few fun and exciting things have happened though:

• We went to the Hawks vs Nuggets to see Pete's fav. player Allen Iverson play. It was a l ot of fun due to the fact we were in good seats, and the Hawks won ( then soon got creamed by them a week or so later).
  
• Played Whirlly ball with a big group of friends for Dallin and Michelle's bday. Whirlly Ball included bumper cars, lacrosse like hand scoops, and two goals with a circle in the middle to score, and 13 min games. It was a blast! How could it not be with a bunch of competitive people?! But we have had a lot of fun especially with Dallin and Michelle lately playing all sorts of games- especially a card game called hand and foot!
  
• Pete is still involved in many basketeball leagues. Some of the teams are better than others, but they all have fun! And that's Pete's only way he likes to get exercise.
  
• I am currently enjoying my tennis class for school and improving my game. Trying to get more consistent. I am also taking a volleyball class which is helping me refresh on some of my old skills I have not had to do for real since West GA days a year and a half ago. The volleyball league at Hammond Park will be starting up again soon which is always a blast- but it might interfere with the softball co-ed league I told Michelle I would do on I think mondays. But we'll see!
  
• We especially are missing my brother John as he is gone to the MTC and in Peru now! I love hearing his emails and letters cause he is so grown up in the church! it makes me so happy! He loves the gospel and the elders he is working with. and I will take credit for helping him know his espanol since we did have a class together in high school (and we would yell at each other in spanish for fun round the house!) He will soon be leaving the MTC and going into the field in Bolivia.
  
• This last weekend we got to go to a Cartel concert which pete was very excited about. We went with my cousins Cade and markus and had lots of laughs! Especially since the band before Cartel was totally wasted and now i would consider them one of the most entertaining bands i have ever seen! ( and trust me i have seen MANY bands!)
• We also went to a fun Super Bowl party- even though the Patriots lost, I am still really excited for the Giants (and Greg)
  
• In the church it was sort of sad to hear about how Pres. Hinckley died but at the same time I could not be happier for him to be reunited with his wife! He had such a great life and presidency in this church and is really the only prophet I actually remember. Also dealing with church I have a new calling as the CTR 6 teacher- which i am much more comfortable with rather than doing singing time. But i love it and we have fun in our class- hopefully i can teach them something they will remember!
• Another sad event is Brooke has moved out to Utah. But it is also very exciting because she gets to be with Justin- who is her match in life! and i could never be happier! but she is living out there and hopefully getting this job with the Family History Center out there. Stacy drove out with her this week to keep her company as well as to spend time with her friends out in UT. But i am really going to miss Brooke!

Well there is the last two months in a nutshell... and they've been fun! But hopefully it won't take me this long to update the blog!!

But work still goes on for us at the fire station and my after school program- we gotta pay for all the christmas presents somehow! I tried to find some sort of seasonal or little job for the mornings for these two weeks before christmas butt have found no luck! oh well, but if anyone needs me to help do something in the morning i would be more than happy to assist you before 1:00pm!
