Photoage

Today Justin and I went to Redwood City and took some engagement photos courtesy of my good friend Ryan.  The thing about photos is that I love to take them, but I don't like to be the main event.  But today I don't think could have been more surprised at how fun being a star can be.  After the first few minutes of awkward forced laughing and stiff poses, things loosened up and the goofy was able to come out.  We were also able to witness a bum fight, or at least the result of a bum fight, which involved several police cars and fire trucks, two arrests and many confused bystanders.

Say Hello to 2010!

Christmas this year seems to have came and went.  It was much anticipated in my family because my brother, who had been gone for 8 months abroad to various places, was coming home (for good we hope). Well, turns out while abroad, it seems that my brother may have forgotten how to eat for 8 months, because he came home a stick.  He looks great, not that he didn't before.  It was great for us all to have a homecoming and Christmas celebration.  


After Christmas, I flew to Southern California for some good 'ol fashioned sunshine!  I spent a few days with my aunt, uncle and cousins, and left Justin and Bella to fend for themselves.  It was my brothers birthday, so we went to Disneyland for the day.  Though fun, I did get fair my share of germy children for the next year or so.  I'm pretty sure that if it were not for the the flu shot, I'd probably be quite sick right about now.


We (Matt, Sasha, Justin and I) spent new years in Tahoe and what fun we sure had.  Our hotel, was the fabulous Biltmore.  Best known for it's cheap stuffy rooms and it's $1 beers and cocktails for happy hour.  Only happy hour, is actually happy hours, 3-7 pm every night.  Justin and I also had a fabulous dinner at The Soule Domain with some great friends of ours.  On our way home on Saturday, I got the grumpy pants disease due to a combination of lack of sleep and food and a few annoying passengers (Sasha excluded).  Luckily a solution was presented and we stopped off at Donner Lake for breakfast.  WOW, who knew that such a s**thole could be so delicious.  Not only did the food fill the gap, but the restaurant was right on the lake and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.  Simply perfect.
