Bueller?.....Bueller???

Ok, it is true, I have been MIA for a few days. It is not that I haven't been thinking about blogging, things have just seemed extra crazy recently. I am learning to balance life with writing about life and I promise to get better. Here is what you have missed while I was living and not writing... Our little Murphy Boy is no longer a puppy. Last week he officially turned 2! I cannot believe how big he is, I still remember bringing him home weighing right around 20lbs; half of that being extra skin waiting to be grown into. He recently weighed in at a whopping 61 lbs! I don't want to be lame about this, but it makes me a little sad. We celebrated his big day with his version of Disneyland; doggy-daycare. I checked in on him many times via webcam and could see he was having a great time with all his friends. After work/daycare, he and I drove out to the eastside to watch SMF Mark play softball. By the time we got home (8pm or so) Murph Dog was so tired he could barely stand up to eat his dinner. A good day indeed. Murph and I when he was 4 months old (above) and him today (below) This past weekend we had Mark's good friend from GU, Kara (great name I know) in town. She is such a character, we knew she would be up for pretty much anything that involved fun. We started the weekend eating a feast of seafood the way it is meant to be eaten; with melted butter, potatoes and LOTS of corn (my favorite!). Check out my hot Special ManFriend(below)...delish! Saturday happened to be the Solstice Parade in Freemont, here are some of the sights... Nope, those are not costumes, that is body paint! All of a sudden hundreds of people started running out of the crowd and lining up on the street--- Then we saw this being rolled our way!! This are from the 'Art Car' exhibit... I saw more strange things on Saturday than I have in a long time, maybe ever. But walking away we decided that in this age of all digital, all the time, it was really refreshing to see true creativity in other mediums. That is our life this past week in a nutshell...Talk to you soon!
