California




This is what I was about to post on the blog:
Marc read it and decided he wanted to revise it and in turn publish his own version. In his words, "His very first blog ever." I think he is the new editor-in-chief of our blog.

We got a ride from Tremaine to the airport friday night after work with our bags all packed and ready to go. Things couldn't have gone any more smoothly than they did. We didn't have to wait at the airport for a ride, got to visit with Liz before she left to New York. Saturday we ate a delicious home cooked breakfast (Chef Tom's waffles) then we headed over to check out Scott and Melissa's new house in pleasant hill. We did a few odd jobs there (ask katie about the attic), had dinner and cleaned up.
Easter was a blast! Candy, family and candy and dinner and cake and jelly beans. The Crowders came for dinner and so did our good buddy Matt Moench. It was good to catch up with everyone. Dinner was delicious, the cake was fantastic and I loved the candy. Monday morning we woke up and took Liz's Escape to Utah where it will be driven and cared for affectionately for the rest of it's years. Katie's birthday was spent on the road for 11 hours in a small S.U.V. We passed the time with alphabet games, songs, and learning math facts. Just ask me the formula for a quadratic equation, I'll tell ya! You'd have thought with cramming all that into our weekend we would've thought to take more pictures but all you get is beautiful Donner Lake. On the plus side, we got to see Melissa pregnant, but she had the baby only one day after we left! Poor choice Melissa or Matthew! Oh well, we'll just come visit again at the end of this month or whenever the blessing is.
We had a great time and can't wait to go back!
