Customer Service, How May I Help You?

Food-a-Fornia

Posted July 23, 2013

I just got back from California a few weeks ago.  It was a trip of eating and more eating.

Here are some of the places that we ate at…  Guppy Teahouse, Classroom 302, The Counter, In-N-Out Burger, Korean Tofu / BBQ, Aiisen Ramen, YogurtlandSouplantation, and to we finished off the trip at McDonalds at the airport.  Of course there was all the food we ate at the three weddings we went to.  It was only a two week trip but we made the most of it.  🙂

The nursery

Posted June 26, 2013

0625-4 It’s starting to get real.  The past few days have consisted of clearing out my office, taping and painting the walls, and putting together a baby crib.  Oh the things I do for this baby girl.  She’s not even born yet, but I already love her with all my heart.  Can’t wait to see her.
