A few things...

I know I haven't been posting much. I've been busy relaxing. It is amazing how much better I feel now that last year is done. This year? This year is going to be awesome. And it is starting already.



Yosemite, a few days before our 2nd Anniversary. Steve took me on what he promised would be an easy hike, just a little uphill. HA! The Mist Trail gains 1,000 feet in elevation over a mile and a half, including stairs. I'm very proud of myself for getting all the way up, although it took quite a while. We packed homemade bread, along with salami, cheese, and fruit. It tasted awesome, but not quite as awesome as the Gatorade I bought back by the campgrounds after we finished our strenuous hike. (Because... strenuous is what the hike is rated as. Arg. Need to get in shape.)


On our actual anniversary we went to The Plumed Horse and had one of the fanciest, nicest meals of our lives. It was perfect.


I also finished this sweater. It is crazy soft.

But not as soft as....


Tiny fuzzy puppies! Meet the new family pet. He lives with my parents in Southern California, and we get to go hug and cuddle him for the first time this weekend. Mr. Puppy is currently nameless, but I think Leo and Jake are likely options. Ahh! SO cute!
