Finally living up to my word!
So last night I was at Jenna's and she asked me about my blog. I instantly felt a tinge of guilt for being a huge liar regarding my blog. Michelle...I am finally going to do it! I have honestly avoided coming on because I knew I would feel the need to write my 7 (or it may be less when I'm done) random things about myself. So as promised, and then I will continue writing as normal here they are:
1. I honestly can not believe there are 7 things about myself that everyone doesn't already know, or that I find insanely mundane and boring. Not to sound self-deprocating because being the know it all that I am I am pretty confident and secure with myself...I just feel like an open book so don't really know where to start.
2. My Jewish roots have given me an intense joy in setting people up on dates. I have mellowed out...but if you ask Jeff's brother he will disagree on that last statement.
3. I long to be creative in so many ways, but my joy in creativity lies solely in appreciating it.
4. I really want to be a 1950's housewife that cooks amazing meals, gossips with her neighbors, makes her own clothes, and raises perfect children.
5. I voted for Obama out of fear of my husband's wrath...and also most of my friends. Honestly I think he is an amazing man I truly do, and I do agree that he will be a great leader and he has the best of our country in his mind...but I am a small government kind of person. I believe in local and state's rights...not giving everything to the federal government. So basically this is typical of a Republican...but Republicans have decided to believe in foreign war and the patriot act instead of remembering what their party is supposed to stand for. So there wasn't a chance in hell I was going to vote for another term of that! I really wanted to do a write in for Ron Paul...but unfortunately my convictions of being a good wife came above those of my patriotism. haha. I don't actually believe that is unfortunate at all. I love Jeff!
6. I think that I have the potential to be a great cook and I really do love cooking meals, but I am too lazy and cheap to actually put time into it. I hate cleaning dishes more than life itself (about half as bad as putting away laundry...please refer to number 4 and why it can never actually come to fruition). Plus I am so cheap to have my kitchen (which although huge has no storage space) well stocked is way too expensive for someone as tight as me.
7. Totally random but I'm trying to find random things by looking around my room...I have two amazing dogs that live with me, and then two amazing dogs that their dad has full custody of. haha I sound like a crazy dog person. But I raised two of the best boxers you have ever met and I love them so much and am so sad never to see them because they live in Texas. pshhh.
Okay that is about as much random babbling of this list.
I will post some pictures and real blogs soon!

San Diego
So I totally don't have time right now to post my pictures from our trip to Sea World (because yes I'm posting this from work). But I will leave you with this one treasure:
Jeff Turns 30
So Jeff turned 30 on September 11th.
Although he seemed a little meloncholy about it I was more than a little jealous. I seriously can't wait for my 30s. Anyone who was married young or even worse divorced young may understand me. When I tell you that I've been married before saying "Oh wow! You're so young!" is by no means a compliment. It's an insult. So, I look forward to being in my thirties so that when I say that people will just look at me and be like "oh yah, well that happens." because really...I dont' need commentary on the age I was when I got married...I obviously know better than anyone how that turned out. haha I just ranted. sorry.
Anway we had just a mellow gathering at our house. Kathy and I found a wheelchair that has now become a staple of our outdoor sitting area, and which is actually incredibly comfortable. Sorry to the old man who can no longer use it.
We also this month rekindled the joy of Santiago Oaks Park. I'm not a fan of big parks with lots of people and yelling and what not...and you know KIDS. Just kidding. But anyway I really enjoy being out in nature and enjoying what our world would have looked like before concrete and construction. So a couple weeks ago we took a nice hike, and can't wait to go on more once it cools down a little.

Disneyland
So Jeff's mom got us Disneyland passes for our birthdays, and we finally got to partake!
We went last Friday night with the Hansons. It was so nice to finally get to hang out with them again, and of course push through obnixious crowds at disneyland!

So although I did plan on writing every week, I've resigned to every other week since I really get at a loss of what to write about unless I have pictures to accompany my entry. Last Thursday night I got a phone call around 5 from Jeff telling me, "Oh, I think you may need to cancel your plans tonight because I won't be able to watch Simon...I think I'm going to start my Master's degree." haha oh Jeff. Although classes had started the week before he was able to get the class he wanted and start right away. It amazes me because I am so far from being spontaneous that the fact that he thrives off of this stuff is insane to me.
So that being said, Simon and I have had some quality time together this month so far! Today is actually Jeff's 30th birthday. Happy 9/11 Jeff! He is playing a show at the prospector...so if you're around you should go. I unfortunately will not get to see him at all on this monumental day. I think he prefers to have his quarter life crisis sans wife.
So after flaking on her Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I finally got to hang out with Lacy on Saturday night...and now instead of discussing heartbreak and English class our conversation strays more towards baby (and okay a little bit of heartbreak reminiscence). Well she told me the joy of frozen fruit. So Lacy...I have you to thank for this amazing site:

Yes it honestly looks like he ate raw meat...
So that was pretty much an amazing evening.
We have also found a renewed joy in riding bikes. It's been so nice to be able to ride around together again and have Simon absolutely love it. and yes...please note his new top two teeth. So here is a random night at the circle enjoying a picnic dinner:
I know people would normally have pictures like this and say "I love summer" but guess what? I hate summer...I love fall! That's the best hang out weather by far! haha
