Happy 8 Years

Yesterday, September sixth, Dave and I shared our 8 year anniversary. We didn't make a big deal because one, we were driving home from lake powell and two, I told dave that this year and next should just be low key anniversaries and our 10 year we go all out. Since traffic was awful, we didn't get home until almost 4 pm, and we had just spent all day driving anniversary #8 was not the best. However, after 8 years of marriage and a year and a half of dating I know I am with the one I am meant to be with.

Happy 8 Years!

Taffy stuck, tongue tied Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside

I am...fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding

Backseat Driver

So I now have my newest, littlest back seat driver. Cache yells at me from his carseat and tells me how I am not going fast enough, he wants to see another car in front of me, or I am driving to crazy. He really loves when I step on the peddle to get on the freeway and he likes to think we are a race car. I never thought I would have to please a 3 year old with my driving skills.

Monterey, CA

Well I had written out a bunch of stuff about our vacation but somehow I erased it. Yeah, not so cool. Here is the run down, we visited Dave's parents in Monterey. We went to the aquarium (one of the largest in the world...I think), went to cannery row and carmel to window shop, ate at amazing restaurants, froze at the beach (don't think cache cared how cold it was and yes crazy people were swimming in the ocean and no we did not!) Just drove around alot and reminisced about when Dave and I lived there and how different some places were and how others never change. It is so beautiful, it makes me wish I was living somewhere even remotely pretty. However, few places compare to Monterey. We didn't get to do everything we wanted, lots of tourists around so it made it difficult to get around. Next we will plan for a different month.


*Visiting the farmers market, the best ever! SO many things to see and the best fruit and veggies. Yum Yum.

*Carmel beach is always supposed to be warmer...not that day!




*Monterey always has the coolest car shows and they were all headed into town for cherries jubilee. Everytime they would have a car show I would get it in my head that I could buy and old crappy car and restore it and drive all around town. Dave was not so into that idea.


*I guess cache pledged to be a safe driver...I think dave put him up to that. He loved seeing his face on the screen.

*The Aquarium



*The aquarium

*My feet were freezing

*I cannot get enough of this face...I love it!



*Visiting asilomar beach in pacific grove. Just a walk from daves family hotel.

*We were able to meet up with Dave's brother and sister in law and their cute boy in Gilroy for some brunch.

*By Cannery Row. Dave had to buy cache an A's hat, he has to represent.


*On the rocks at lovers point in Pacific Grove. I worked at a bed and breakfast that overlooked the ocean here...it was such a fun job.

Apples to Zebra's

Cache started his Apple's to Zebra's preschool and loves it. He didn't cry, whine, pout, tell me he doesn't want to go...nothing. SO surprised. I was gearing up for alot of energy to get him to go every week but he really likes it. Which makes life so much easier for me. Yay! So far we love this program, a time for him to socialize (a trait I have a feeling came from his mother) he gets to make arts and crafts which I love since I am not one to love to do arts and crafts. So far its a win win...hope I don't jinx it.

Yay for the small accomplishments in life...

I am officially able to go to the gym again. After many years of Cache screaming, crying, and maybe a small fight with one of the day care workers (my fight not cache's)both children go in and have done good! Now I know I am totally cursing myself by saying this out loud but it has been a long road and it deserves a shout out!!! It is a small but amazing pleasure to have an hour of working out hard without any distractions.

I also finished my first online class. Summer always sucks to take classes and towards the end I was getting really lazy but its done. Whoo Hoo! The first of many, many, and unfortunately many more classes.
