Day 364

Sunday 11/6/11

As we left Chico, after a long day of lounging with friends watching football, the sun was peeking through the clouds in an awesome way. I pulled off 99 to catch this beautiful moment in a rice patty field. It was silent, peaceful, breathtaking...

Day 363

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

What a wonderful wedding! Our friends Jolene and Justin got married in Chico today. It was pouring for the outdoor ceremony. If there's anyone who this could have happened to and they be okay with it-it's jolene. She is a go with the flow girl who maintains a positive outlook! They just "swoop!" moved the ceremony indoors and it worked out fine! The wedding was pretty memorable too with a photobooth, funfetti cake, tables full of friends, dancing-dancing-dancing, and even a game of flip cup along the cleared-off buffet table! They were beautiful, as you can see, and fun was had by all!

Day 362

FRIDAY (night lights again)

11/4/11

We all headed up to Placerville, stopped at Mel's for a quick dinner, and then continued up to El Dorado High School to watch my cousin, Chris, KILL IT in his last regular season HS game. Luckily, since they won, they'll be in the playoffs and we'll get to see him play again! This was our first taste of freezing weather....all our phone apps said 46 degrees....NO WAY! Definitely in the thirties!

Day 361

Thursday 11/3/11

Halloween decor came down and Thanksgiving is up! I definitely need to step my Fall/Thanksgiving decoration game up! I've got the sidebar done and the table-and THAT'S IT! Will definietly work on this for next year.

Day 360

Wednesday 11/2/11

Well, we needed to find a place for TuPac, or "JimmerPac" if you're Joseph. As much as I knew how badly Joseph wanted it, it's just not in the cards for a 1 BR apartment. Plus, I am really anal about having animal hair on me (unless it's Leo's or Stewie's...those two don't bug me). I whipped these up after work and Joseph posted them up around the complex...hopefully something will come from them...we'll see! In the meantime, joseph has a new BFF.

Day 358

Monday 10/31/11

"BABE! A huge squirrel just fell out of the tree," I yelled today. Low and behold, it was this little clumsy kitty. I have since named him/her TuPac cause he/she got in a SUPER GANGSTER FIGHT with another cat the next morning. We're not sure what we're doing with it at this point....I am super not for cats in a one BR apt. though! Called and googled all these Sac animal shelters, etc. What to do-OY!

Day 356

Intergallactic-Planetary-Intergallactic-Intergallactic!

A month ago when Katie said she wanted to do these Martha Stewart costumes....I never would have thought they'd work. A lot of hard work and some creativity by the boys yeilded these awesome costumes! Homemade is better than store-bought 98.6% of the time! Plus, this costume gave us free-license to do the robot as much as we wanted. I had it on lock-super serious style---at Cabo Wabo, until Katie came up next to me I lost my seriousness----HILARIOUS NIGHT! I'm Goin' to SF to make some MONEY!

Day Three-5-Three

Wednesday 10/26/2011

It's very rare when Joseph loves a commercial...he generally hates any interruptions to his sports (don't we all?)

Anyway, he forced me to try and pause this commercial at the "best" part....this is one of the many reasons why I love this man.,...he knows how much joy I derive from cute babies doing adorable things and goes out of his way to show me it!

Champagne in a bottle CHUG. Baby charades with Bean-O. Crossing your legs game. It was a blast! It was a wonderful celebration of the life that'll soon be joining us! I am very excited! Afterwards we kept the party going at Annie and Brian's with the stump game, and then written telephone. (I just named that-it doesn't have a name...)

FIELD LESSON DAY! We headed downtown for an IMAX adventure and a little scavenger hunt in the Capitol. A student's parent had VIP access to the State Assembly floor, and she took all of us. The kids and adults got a special Q&A, along with getting to sit in a special area-so cool!

Day 345

Tuesday 10/18/2011

Would you wanna walk into this classroom at 5:30? 6 am? 6:30 am? Do it everyday. scare the crap outta myself once a week. Dang stray cats get me at least once every couple weeks. But hey-you gotta pay to play! A little fear conquering, (yes I am scared of the dark), is nothing when I know I am there for a good reason-my students.
