Yeah champagne.  Yeah wedding.  Yeah friends.

Nuff said.

*I, sadly, did not get a good photo of the happy couple (that I took myself --- I did get some with the bride --- so I decided to use this fun champagne photo instead*

Lily

This is my dog Lily. I got her as a birthday present for my 15th birthday. When I moved to Berkeley when I was 17 --- Lily could not join me so she became my parent's dog --- and when my parents got divorced, she became my mom's dog! She is so smart & loyal & loveable! I miss her and I enjoy getting to spend time with her whenever we go home to visit family (like we did this weekend - the wedding we attended just happened to be up by where I grew up). Lily's favorite trick? She can hold 3 tennis balls in her mouth at one time. She loves her tennis balls. If you throw them for her, she will be your very best friend for the rest of your life!

New shoes

New Shoes

I kind of have a shoe obsession. It's not something that I indulge in as often as I use to ... ever since Mervyn's closed (I always found just the right pair of shoes there). I had to make a trip to Payless this day to get shoes for a wedding and they just happened to be having a BOGO sale ... so I couldn't pass up getting these new kicks for only $3.50! It's all about bargain shopping!!!

Cops

Cops

Everyday on my break I walk 1/2 way around our block & back to the office with a co-worker. Some days we even go twice (once in the morning & once in the afternoon). On this day, during our afternoon break, we couldn't quite get all the way to our turn around point because the cops were out on the street doing some training at the sub station facility. Of course I snapped a photo to share!

Mr. Coach

This winter/spring Jon has been the assistant coach for the women's soccer team at the school he teaches at. Jon has played soccer his whole life and really enjoys coaching with his fellow co-worker. In the fall he will be the head coach of the mens team!

Silly kitty on the heating pad

Over the weekend I pulled a muscle in my back while working in the yard ... so I was in desperate need of my heating pad to releive my pain before bed on this night. I plugged it in and went about finishing up getting ready for bed and when I headed back into the bedroom I found this little kitty curled up on the heating pad sleeping. She loves to be warm and is missing her heating blanket that we kept on the bed for her all winter that has been retired to the closet for the spring/summer.

Jon mowing the lawn

Now that spring is upon us, I've realized just one more reason I love owning a home - having a yard that is all our own! We have a fairly decent size front yard with some hedges & rose bushes & irises and we also have a huge backyard where we are really loving spending some quality time together planting flowers & growing our first garden :)
