finally i'm updating!
we've been having fun with our visitors (round one: aunt deedee, uncle bob, and jonathan; round two: mary and justin). we had a wonderful time with both of them.
highlights with the burns family included:
1. chats with aunt deedee and our walk on sunset cliffs
2. a memorable dinner at a great italian restaurant in the gaslamp
3. eating hot tortillas (and getting burned!) on the sidewalk at old town
4. a visit to cabrillo monument
highlights with mare and justy:
1. spending time at the beach
2. they might be giants show
3. hiking up cowles mountain
4. laughing so hard at ridiculous things
5. eating at hodad's
so we're getting ready for our next round: michelle and hannah baby and the little boy baby who is in michelle's tummy!
matt and i watched the village last night and i loved it. i loved how it messed with my head about halfway through (i won't ruin it for those who have yet to see it). grade: A
tonight matt and i are going to see U2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for those of you who don't know.... this is going to be EPIC!!!!! U2 was the first album i ever bought-in 5th grade, (joshua tree) and it's on both mine and matt's lists of things we want to do in our lifetime. so i can't even wait!!! our friends sue and tom are also going with us and we'll be sitting with some people matt works with. the show is in anahiem, so it's a bit of a drive, but we're heading up early and checking into a travelodge and sharing a room. then we can just crash and relax after the show. matt's friend is renting a stretch SUV of some kind and they offered us a ride to/from the show. we may just take them up on that offer!
anyhoo, i'm finally getting back into the swing of training, after being SUCH a huge slacker. and it feels really good!
and man, we have had beautiful (and warm) days, which has made it much easier to get out and get going. yesterday i went running with my "running club" at school, which consists of me, the spanish teacher, and the school nurse. we ran along the cliffs and then took a break by going down the stairs to the beach/rocks at the bottom. we were just sitting there on a smaller cliff that was about 5 feet above water level, chatting, enjoying the sun, watching the surfers...when BAM! first i heard it hit the rocks and i tried to run (where? i don't know where i thought i was going...), but to no avail. a huge wave crashed OVER OUR HEADS. we all started screaming and laughing! and thankfully, we didn't get swept out to sea with it!!! we decided that break was refreshing enough and finished our run, soaking wet. ha!
welp, i must do some shopping and get ready for our big night!!!!!
have a great weekend everyone.
out one day
walking one day
out one day
with you hallelujah
