Parents Weekend!

On Saturday night, my Mom and Dad came to visit! They got in late Saturday night so I dropped them off at their hotel and then Sunday, we went flying. One of my Dad's fraternity brothers lives out in this area and has a 6 person plane and offered to take us up. It was great. We flew over Folsom Lake, which I've biked to a few times and it was beautiful. I have lots of pictures to put up later so you can all see the views. Monday, we went shopping and then to dinner. Both my parents ended up getting a few things for themselves, and I got blamed for their extra spending:) They left Tuesday morning so it was a quick visit but a lot of fun. If anyone else wants to come out and visit, you are more than welcome too!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone had a nice day. My Easter was nice and relaxing. After going to church and cooking up a big brunch with Cara and Andrew, I went to a park nearby for the Clean & Sober cookout. It was a lot of fun. A lot of people came and there was tons of food and fun. There was an Easter egg hunt for the kids and then one for the adults (the eggs for the adults had $). It was really nice seeing the kids of the people I work with because before now, I had only heard about them. After getting back from the cookout, I went to a park near my place to read for a bit and am now getting ready to grill some food for dinner. Happy Easter!

GO NOVA!!!

Villanova has advanced to the final four in a great game last night against Pitt. Let's hope they can keep going!

...

I think that some people may believe that I am making this up but I am againnnn without a computer. Mine crashed, again. The third time in as many months. I brought it in and should be getting a brand new one in the next few weeks. They will junk out the old one because I reached the magic number of repairs. Right now, I have Andrew's computer because he was gone this weekend but he's getting back tonight so it's my last day with it. In two weeks, I'll be better with posting.

I know...

I know, it has been a while since I last updated my blog but again, I am without a computer. My computer that I got right after Christmas kept crashing and then wouldn't start up so I had to bring it to Best Buy. They, in turn, had to mail it out to have the repairs done so I have been without my computer for 2 weeks. I've had a somewhat busy two weeks too! Work has been crazy, which is why I haven't been able to update my blog from work. My free time has also been busy. For starters, Sean is visiting. He came on the 19th and unfortunately leaves tomorrow. It's been a really nice visit. We've gone to the movies, rented movies, eaten (a lot) and played games. I've been working the whole time which has worked out fine. Sean just comes in when he wakes up and hangs out in the park, where he worked last year. It's been really nice having him here.
I've also been busy with my "community." Because I have no real community, I've formed one with some past volunteers or staff from Loaves and Fishes. We have dinner every week, alternating houses and generally hang out on weekends. So although I've been very busy recently, and without my computer, things have been very good!

Rock Climbing

Friday Night I went rock climbing! Not outside or anything too intense but to a rock gym right in Sacramento. It was a lot of fun. I had been once before with my brothers and remembered liking it but I think I only did one climb. This time I did a little more but not by too much. I climbed one whole path and my arms were burning by the end. I tried a few others but didn't make it all the way. I need to work on my arm strength before I try again. It made me feel weak.
