Almost 2007

Tim and I have enjoyed a week off doing pretty much nothing. It is funny how doing nothing can take so much time. Well, we have been a little productive. We ordered the last of the furniture for our "nursery" (if you can call it that) and we have been planning our bathroom remodels. I look forward to decent bathrooms, but am hoping that the drywall dust doesn't fly for too long this time.

We had hoped to get some hiking in this week, but the Bay Area has been terribly windy. We have been able to see a few days with amazing waves at the beach.

Have a great New Year's!

Blizzard in Colorado

We are already having a White Christmas. We arrived in Colorado Tuesday night. We had come early to Colorado because we used frequent flyer miles. Well, that has really saved us. Less than 8 hours after we arrived in Boulder, Colorado was hit with over 2 feet of snow in less than 24 hours. Roads are a mess and we are thankfully in our friends' home enjoying their company and relaxing. One of our friends actually got stuck on the highway (on a bus) and had to be rescued via a Humvee and sent to a shelter for the night. We are so very happy to be stranded this side...rather than being with the 5000 people stranded at the airport. :O

Attached are pictures from Boulder of the snow!

Ready for Christmas

We are getting ready to go to Colorado for Christmas. Because we are using free tickets, we are leaving the night of December 19th and returning on Christmas Day. We hope to be in Boulder for a few days and then spend the remaining time in Denver with Tim's family. I am so relieved that my winter coat actually fits over my belly so I won't freeze to death. I hate to buy a winter maternity coat for just one cold week in Colorado. :>

Yes, we did put up a Christmas Tree this year. We bought it from Delancey Street, a great non-profit foudation here in SF. Click here to read about the Delancey Street Foundation.

We'll be back in San Francisco on Christmas night. Tim and I are hoping to get caught up on lazing around and catching up with SF friends!

Visit to Louisiana

I finished all of my last school assignments and left town. I am visiting my parents and friends in Louisiana. Tim as able to join us for the weekend after a long week of work travel. As usual, we are eating lots of good food. However, I cannot drink like I normally do. :> I have been able to catch up with my college and high school friends. And, I got to spend the afternoon with my old college friend, Deidre. We think we even have our college friend, Susan, trained on email finally.

I attached a few old pictures that I had never gotten from my mom. The summer beach picture is from my cousin's (Mandy) wedding. The second picture is from San Francisco in October (I'm about 22 weeks there).
