Two Wishes in One

So going into my LA trip, I said that I wanted to spot somebody famous. And going into my trip to San Diego, I wanted to find where Roberto and Ali now live. Well, the heavens aligned, and both were pseudo-fulfilled at the same time.

Blair and Jo hooked us up with some amazing tickets to the Padres, and as we walked into the stadium, we realized that Roberto and Ali were throwing out the opening pitch.

The camera phone came out, as well as my stalker instincts.



Wait for it...



Liz and I bamboozled the security guard and ran down to the first row.



They're getting closer.



If I ever come back in another life, I might be a really great member of the paparazzi.



The funny thing was that Liz and I were the only ones down there taking pictures. I doubt anyone else knew who they were, or if they did, didn't care.





This one's going out to Meg, Marta, Ashley, and Jensen.



And this one's going out to me: Ali's new BFF.

San Diego (Part 1)

After a wonderful mini vaca with Jamie, her mom Kayleen, and Marta in LA (pictures to come), Marta and I headed down to San Diego to stay with Blair and Jo. The greatest thing about it was that we were also able to spend some time with Cat and Liz.

Believe me. This picture doesn't capture the joy of the yummy lunch we enjoyed in La Jolla.



The cuties outside.



Take out Cat, insert myself.



Poor little Lizard. Embarrassed at Cat and Marta's theatrics.



There. Much better.

The Cutest Nephews

I know it's been way too long, but I'm determined to catch up on this blasted blog. It won't be comprehensive by any means, but it'll definitely be more than it is now.

In the end of August, Sam and Ashley were on their way from Texas to Chicago for Sam's school. He's in his first year at Kellogg...smart boy. Anyway, I was able to catch up with them for a bit and see Parker and Lincoln. Love love love them. Lincoln fell asleep next to me, after Sam advised me to rub his belly. He's like an old man, or a cat. Either way, he's adorable, as is Parker.
