Haven't posted in a while. Busy busy busy. We've been running around having fun and enjoying the hot weather. Jonathan started his second advertising class and and finished Year 1 of the church internship program. Next fall he will start the Old Testament portion. I finished the Deuteronomy study with Stacey and Charissa, and we will be starting a book about Godly Discipline in two weeks. We have three more weeks and then we will have completed 90 days of our P90X workout. We feel pretty good about our progress and are going to keep going with it.

Amber and her boyfriend Josh came down to visit last weekend. It was really great to see them. Here is a photo of us eating brunch at Posh.This weekend we got lunch with Jonathan's childhood buddy Kevin. We also ran a bunch of errands to get ready for our trip to Oregon on Friday. We're looking forward to seeing everybody!

We had a visitor last weekend. Jeff came down for work and made a long weekend of it. We walked across the Golden Gate bridge and visited Chinatown. It was perfect weather, too. Here are some photos:

A reminder to be strong and courageous.

We had a very fun Memorial Day weekend! Andy and Mary flew in Friday night and stayed through Monday Afternoon. We of course started the fun at In N Out; Jonathan got a 4x4 and Andy got a burger "animal style", me and Mary just got classic ones. Saturday we got up early, went to breakfast at Posh Bagel and then to Half Moon Bay (with Shinobi in tow) and then headed to Stanford's campus and Downtown Palo Alto for sightseeing and more good food. Sunday we went to San Francisco and wandered around Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Park. When our legs couldn't take anymore walking, we returned home for BBQ, Mexican, and Thai pizzas and the Terminator movie (which features our Governator and some lovely imagery of the Bay Area after a nuclear bomb). This morning we strolled around Los Altos and enjoyed the sunshine until we had to take our friends to the airport. It was great seeing familiar faces! Shinobi loved having them here too and is exhausted from all the attention he got.

I am happy to report my basil is growing back and there are some strawberry leaves in my mini garden. We are still going strong with our workout and just completed week 5!

It was another busy week. Jonathan is done with his first Advertising class and will be starting the next one in June. His intern program is almost done too.

I met up with Sakura at Ikea on Friday night. We spent almost 4 hours there! It is so huge! And they have such cheap food! And cheap everything! I managed to leave there with only the essentials: a new throw pillow, a bamboo plant for my desk at work, a cheap milk frother for our at home coffee drinks, and a candle.
This weekend the temperatures were in the 90's so we escaped the heat on Saturday by going to the beach. We checked out Pacifica for the first time. They have some really cute beaches and there were a ton of surfers out. Shinobi is turning 2 years old next weekend, but since the Andy and Mary will be visiting, we celebrated this weekend by letting him dig in the sand and chase rocks on the beach. We went to the movies/air conditioning to watch Star Trek last night with Pete and Charissa. Unfortunately/fortunately we have a heated pool so it doesn't provide much relief on days like this.

Here are some photos from Pacifica, all the little black dots are surfers:
