True Love

I love him!

My favorite places - San Francisco

San Francisco is one of my favorite places in all the world! I love the big city/coastal town vibe. One of my favorite places is Pier 39. I love going in the little shops and seeing the Sea Lions which I heard are no longer there. I also like seeing the Golden Gate bridge. In high school, I went my junior and senior year with band. Once Mike and I started dating we went often seeing as his family. The last time we went, we saw Mike's little sister and her boyfriend. We went to Golden Gate park, rented one of those bikes that all of us could ride and had fun! Although the bike wasn't as fun as we thought it might be, we had fun in the Park. Here are some pictures from our trip!

New Years Goal #6

Well it's February first and that means that my goal to be a vegetarian for the month of January is over. I think I did pretty good. Yes, I did cheat a bit but overall, I think I did ok. Now I will not say I MET the goal because I did cheat but I half met it or something.

I do want to thank my friend Kris. Her enthusaisim for my goal was catching. She let me borrow some of her cookbooks, sent me websites, called to encourage me and made me food! I couldn't ask for a better cheerleader! Thanks Kris!

Can't Wait for Captain EO!

Those of you who went to Disneyland in the 80's probably remember Captain EO. It was a 3D movie kinda Star Wars ish staring Michael Jackson and Anjelica Huston. Me being of course the big Michael Jackson fan watched it almost every time I went to Disneyland! It closed in 1997 to make way for Honey I Shrunk the Audience which is a dumb replacement IMO. Disney has announced that they are bringing Captain EO back!!! It's for a limited time but I will take what I can get. They are being really vague on the release date, all we know is that it is coming back Feb. 2010 and that HISTA closed yesterday to make the changes for the show. I can't wait and I am glad they decided to bring it back!

update on life

Well life has been BUSY! Mike and I have been hopping and hopefully soon life will calm down. Life is good. One of the exciting things we have done is breakfast with Shamu. On Valentine's Day we went to Sea World and had a buffet breakfast. we got to see one of the Killer Whales up close (about 5 feet away). Her name was Corkie and she was the oldest killer whale they had at Sea World. It was really exciting to get to see her SO close. The trainers at Sea World warned us many times that we could get splashed and the salt water would ruin any electric devices we had. I figured we couldn't get TOO wet since we had food but I was wrong. Corkie messed up on one of her tricks and we (well I did since Mike was in the bathroom) ended up getting splashed pretty good by the whale. Luckily we were mostly done with our food because water got everywhere! Another interesting fact is SHAMU is the whales LAST name...who knew?
