Welcome to Lake Pillsbury!

Floating the day away

Pic of us at Lake Pillsbury

A nice view of the lake... it's pretty big - this is only a little part of it.

Nathan and Sugar on one of the boat trips back

One day at Lake Pillsbury, Nathan decided to build a raft. sank a little.... but Sugar was there to rescue them if necessay.

Sorry, another one of me.... I don't like to many pictures of myself but I don't mind this one so I'm going to share it.

Lazy afternoon by the pool - Allegra, myself, and April

Nathan and I by a bridge...don't ask me which one because I have no idea... actually it could be the bay bridge.... hmmm. does anyone even care?

Excellent sundaes... can't you tell!!

I like palm trees!

Part of the front - I think it is the coolest part

A view looking away from the building

Another one....

Nathan and I outside the culinary institue we visited - just outside of Napa.

A nice view of San Francisco... well not all of it

I just really like that staggered building

San Francisco port entry... pretty cool inside with lots of little shops.

Ghirardelli Square...mmmm some good chocolate there!!

Pictures!!

Finally! I have some time and am actually sitting at the right computer to post some pictures of California. I don't have a lot because we took most of the best ones on Nathan's camera and I haven't taken them from him yet. So sorry the best will still have to wait. But here are some good'uns.

Rudolph's dead!!!

I can't believe it!!

Thank goodness there's some recognition!

Finished!!!

Hello!!!

I haven't written for so long. It is almost hard to think of what to write. I know I need to post some updates from California - got some interesting pictures. You know, I use the word "interesting" too much but I feel I lack adjectives in my vocabulary to effectively use alternatives.

I don't want to take the time to write a long post right now as I am anxiously awaiting the start of my new favorite tv drama : Without A Trace. It has taken the highest place of honour from both Law and Order and CSI. Sure I still enjoy these but I have to say, Without A Trace just something different!

I would love to hear from you all sometime - leave me a note or send me an email!

Almost Back

Back from Cali...will show some photos soon. Got a pretty decent tan and it was a fabulous trip. But for now, I have massive amounts of work to do so I'll update again once I need a break or am finished.... hmm....

Hope all is well. Let me know what is happening in your life... if you want of course!

Our New Car!!!!

Nathan and I bought a car!!! Yay! It is so nice to have something that we don't have to ask to use again. I love it. It is a really great SUV too..it's got leather and everything.

Oh and for those of you who don't know, that's my house, my dad's car (the mini of course) and Liz's car. My mum's minivan is in the shop. Actually all of their cars were in the shop this week so I was glad that we had ours.

yay!!!!!!

Rehearsal

Few shots from the rehearsal... the dinner after was fantastic but don't have any pictures unfortunately. We also got pedicures and manicures which were FANTASTIC. I could not have felt any more relaxed and the polish was great, too!!!

At the rehearsal....don't we look like great bridesmaids! :) I don't have any pictures of the rehearsal dinner which was awesome but oh well.

Melissa and my sister in the left corner. I would just like to point out that I hung those red things! :) haha

This is an awful picture of Jackie, Jenn, and I... could be an ad for Pepsi though .... "Pepsi, sponser of weddings????" We had just got pedicures and manicures though.. that was fabulous!!!!

Melissa's Bachelorette Party

Here's some photos from our day out! We spent the day just doing some fun things around town and relaxing together before the busy weekend! First we went to Washington Square Nordstrom to get Melissa some make up for the day before heading off to the Rose Garden in Washington Park. My sisters and mum set it up for us while we were shopping. After that we wandered around the garden and up to the little park. We then drove down to the field to play some bocce ball. Good fun. Next we headed to Portland for some waterfront views and Melting Pot dessert. To end the night, we played some interesting games at my house! It was a great success if I can say myself. Enjoy the pictures!

Picnic at the Rose Garden with my mum and sisters. So great!
