So Sorry

I'm so sorry I haven't gotten up the Friday Project yet. It will be complete and posted shortly. In the meantime, here are some pictures from our day at Japan town yesterday.
The Cherry Blossoms


We ate at a Japanese restaurant and what did I order? Fish and Chips.



And here is the funniest picture I have ever seen. Aaron is really excited? And that look on Baby G's face, SCARY!

A Day in the Park

Yesterday we finally went to the park. It was Baby G's first time there. This is the park that Aaron and I think of as "Our Park", lots of great memories were made there, some of which I can't post about ;). You can see more pictures of the park in a previous post.
We had a little picnic and then walked on one of the main trails. Photos below.

Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures

I finally signed up for the Pro Flickr Account. I have had a free account for awhile and have recently decided I'd like to try to upload some old photos on my computer, as well as try to scan and upload some older photos.

I just uploaded some photos from the vacation we took to Monterey in 2002. It was a much needed vacation, my first vacation in 3 years and Aaron's first vacation ever; also our first vacation together. I had just had a miscarriage a few months before, and at the same time that happened we had moved in with Aaron's Aunt and Uncle to help out his Aunt who had two rare forms of cancer. We were stressed to say the least and were really glad to be able to get away for a few days.

I don't have a picture of this, and I really wish I did, but when we got back from this vacation we nearly ran over our cat, Mitch, who was sitting in the middle of the road in front of the house. He looked like he thought he owned the road and was not budging from his spot, until we got out of the car to get him....

An Ikea Afternoon

ikeastuff


I spent the day saturday putting together a horrible 5 year career plan for class. Then yesterday it was back to work. I went in early so I could leave at a decent hour so Aaron and I could go to Ikea. We had dinner first; then off we went to shop till we dropped. Actually I just picked up a few essentials; like a couple lamps, a cover for the futon mattress, a dish drainer, a blanket, and a cute little outdoor rug for the balcony. Later we'll go back to get the patio set. :)
Just a couple days left till the madness at work is over. Got to get ready for it right now....

Butterflies are free (and so are sunburns)!

Had an awesome day today! Had worked on team paper for class this morning; I did finish my other paper yesterday, and I think I did a good job. Anyway, Aaron and I headed off to the park after we finished the things we had to do this morning. Butterflies are everywhere. I tried really hard to get photos of the groups, but I'm just not fast enough. With a little patience I was able to get a few pictures of a couple individual butterflies (See below). I think we spent about 3 hours or so there and then headed off to the grocery store. We made rootbeer floats when we got home, yum! I got a little sunburned at the park (forgot my hat, ouch).Had a nice active, fun day overall. :)

Always Look On the Bright Side of Life

What a crazy day yesterday! Why are people so afraid of change? And why are older people especially afraid of change? I know that is a blanket statement, but I haven't yet run into any older person that hasn't fought change, any kind of change, with a very cranky attitude. And why do I always end up working with these people? I guess I must have something to learn from it; I wish I would learn it already! Most of my morning yesterday I had to deal with cranky old people, the rest of the day wasn't so bad. Got invited to the lake this weekend. If I can get my paper for class finished I just may go. Aaron and I took off to our park again yesterday after I got off work (pics below). After an hour I thought I was going to die; I am so out of shape. We had fun, and then went out to eat. When we got home, my daughter called (I always love to hear from her! *hugs*) Just 3 more weeks until she is here spending the summer with me! Anyway, we watched Monty Python's Life of Brian afterwards. Aaron had never seen it. After that it was off to bed. Now it's almost 7 am and I have to get ready for work or I'll be late. .........

Soooo tired!

Monday in the Park

Here are the pics as promised. I am sooooooooo tired! We had a great time yesterday. We were only in the park for about an hour. This is "our" park. We go here a lot. I have someone sitting right behind me which makes it hard to write....need food. Now that we have seen Star Wars 3 We are watching the old movies again...interesting new perspective.
