Merci!

Why is Kurt great? Because he made chocolate chip cookies for the potluck at MY work tomorrow.

He is a serious cookie maker.

Mail

Sorry for the hiatus. My computer is officially dead now- it won't turn on.

You know how credit card companies like to send you lots of offers (aka junk mail) in the mail? Well, American Express has upped the ante- I am now eligible for the American Express Gold Card! No, I'm not going to get it, but for some reason this makes me feel good- American Express thinks I'm worth gold!

Talking about credit cards- I like it when I swipe my card at a store, the machine thinks for a moment, and then "approved" flashes across the screen. I makes me feel validated for a second- I've been approved!!!

I hope you enjoyed my random rant :) 6 days until Halloween and the Giants are in the World Series!

Let the holidays begin!

Kurt and I have been celebrating Halloween all month long! Last week we made cookies:

This week we went to Aunt Kathy's annual cider party: it involves trampolines (that's me and Sofia jumping), pressing apples of course, and homemade donuts. Just awesome.


And we painted pumpkins! There are 3 'sides' to each of our pumpkins. Mine are on top and Kurt's are on bottom:


I also got my diploma in the mail this week- go me!

This morning

Soon after I woke up:
Kurt: "Hey look what I found on our doorstep!"

Me: "Oh my gosh!!!! Is someone threatening us?"

Kurt found it funny at least :) Have a great Saturday!

Day 8

Kurt and I were in the car from 830am to 2am. And that's about it. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip (that you haven't seen yet).

Thank you Ashley and Adam for letting us stay with you! It was so good spending time with you and I wish we could do it more often!

Day 7: Disneyland

We tried to ride Space Mountain first...it shut down and everyone was evacuated right when we reached the front of the line.

We then went to the Matterhorn- it was closed for repairs.

Then we tried Thunder Mountain- the ride broke down while we were on it leaving us stranded for 10-15 minutes before a cast member came to get us. (we did get free ice cream!)

After that we headed to Indiana Jones- it was far from a smooth ride, stopping when it shouldn't and such. But we made it through...the ride closed soon after we got off.

After that everything went smooth :)

Here's one of my favorite shots- Main Street, USA at night.

Day 6 Adventures

At the San Juan Capistrano Mission there is a fountain. Within the fountain are fish. There is a particular fish who does not like Adam. As Adam simply pointed his finger at the fishes on brought its head above the water, opened his mouth, and spat water at Adam- twice! It was awesome. Here's Kurt trying to recreate the episode:

The Getty was awesome! They had an entire section of ridiculously old books with actual gold letters, intricate drawings, fancy writing that is pretty much illegible, and many were written in Latin- I had fun trying to decipher a word or tow. Unfortunately one quarter of Latin means I'm far from being a Latin language expert. Here's a picture of the museum:

Our last event of the day was attending a Dodger's game. I tried to take a picture of the big-screen-score-board-thing and here's what happened:

The screen went blank right as I took the picture. I was trying to get this:

They have a player named Salazar! Anyone a Harry Potter fan?



Look! It happened again! (the second picture didn't turn out too well)

Does this mean I have horrible or excellent timing?
