Ho-hum

I wish I had some clever story to provide, but honestly life has just been busy.  Anyway, it's been a while since my last posting, so I figured better a little something than silence.  I was hoping this winter quarter would be less hectic.  Of course, it's largely my own fault for taking on too much.  (But they're all things I like!) 

It's been wonderful to have my mama and papa here this month, as they're both eagerly working on books and articles...and decided to do so in Pasadena!  (Check out the 4th floor of the library to say hi to them - dad's the one with the mustache, and mom's the cute little one.  They each have a thermos of coffee.)

There are things I hate missing, like the small group Ryan and I are part of at church, and talking on the phone to friends (ok...so I don't really miss the phone part...but I do miss YOU!), running more frequently, and cooking proper meals.  Then again, there are so many more things that I wouldn't trade for anything.  Like going to coffee shops with mom and dad; or my cohort group; or seeding rainbow chard and bell peppers or the balcony; or friday nights at gordon biersch.

And perhaps I should be on the lookout for the more entertaining bits of life.  If anything, for the sake of a not-so-ho-hum blog posting.

To end - a pic from valentine's day, by request of Becky.

This makes 6 months : )
