3rd anniversary and parasailing!

March 25, 2013 § Leave a Comment

I really can’t believe Drew and I have been married for 3 years now. It’s gone by so fast. When I think about it, we’ve been together for almost 9 years! I feel like we’ve really grown up with each other. There’s a lot of uncertainty about the future with both Drew and I graduating this year and moving on to the next phase of our careers, but I know that I have the most amazing partner to share my next adventure with.

It sounds cheesy, but I think about how lucky I am all the time. Not only do I get to share my life with someone I love so much, but for the last 6 years, we’ve lived in paradise. Sure, it’s not Hawaii or even San Diego, but we’re 10 minutes from the ocean and it’s pretty much 70 degrees year round. Before we leave this paradise, we figured we’d take advantage of it and go parasailing! I thought I would be so scared since I’m afraid of heights, but it was actually not scary at all. In fact, this is possibly the most fun thing I’ve ever done. It felt so free being up there, almost like you’re flying! The best part was looking down and seeing the dolphins play. We went with Balboa Parasail and they have deals online all the time, so if you have the chance, I highly recommend doing it. You won’t regret it!

Happy Birthday Ruth!

Today was my good friend Ruth’s birthday.  We went to a Moroccan place called Marrakesh for dinner.  It was such a feast!  Oh my goodness, there were so many courses, I couldn’t even eat a bite of the dessert course.  After dinner we went back to todd and ruth’s place where lars and teiko brought a cake!  Happy Birthday Ruth, and may your 28th year be your best yet!

Hi-Time Chili Cookoff

August 30, 2010 § Leave a Comment

This weekend we went to the Hi-Time Chili Cookoff.  It was a lot of fun.  There were so many chili vendors that I was full way before I could try them all, and between the chili and the beer, I didn’t get the chance to take many photos so here’s just a few.  I especially love the one of my beautiful friend, Ruth.
