where have we been . . .?

Tom and I frequently talk about where we want to go in the world. We would pretty much like to go everywhere, but here are the places we have already been.

The top 2 pictures are mine and the bottom 2 are Tom's.

holiday weekend

Well, I have been very neglectful about posting so I guess I should say a few things. Life has been very boring. Tom is busy with school and is still doing well although I think his professors are a little more boring than last semester. I am still busy with work which is becoming a little more interesting every week as we take over new departments from the hospital.

I have been attempting to improve my meager cooking skills. It is not going very well, but Tom has been very helpful and supportive.

Los Angeles is still fantastic. It was 90 degrees the other day. Unbelievable. This morning to woke up to rain, which doesn't seem that unusual, but it is the first time it has REALLY rained since we moved here. It was the top story on the news all day.

My little sister, Kara, moved to Denver last week where she is doing a cosmetology apprenticeship. I always figured we would both wander a little ways from home and I'm proud of her for deciding to take this step.

We spent our afternoon in Santa Monica walking up and down the pier and enjoying some Mexican food. Thanks to our student/employee IDs, we can take the Big Blue Bus to the coast for 25 cents.

Anyway, I think that is all the news that I have. Here are a few pictures from our day and one of my new niece just because she's cute.
