Four years

I can't believe it's been 4 years. I remember trying to decide if I should meet up with you like it was yesterday. One of the best decision I've ever made was to pass on sleeping for a fun night out that turned out to be a wonderful beginning. You've shown me how to relax, and live life without second guessing myself. 

Over the last year we adjusted to life away from Minneapolis, had a blast in New York and visiting old friends, spent a lot of time playing in the snow, nerded out at Comicon, watched your brother and Holly tie the knot and moved to San Diego. You changed your major, and I started taking photos. Life is moving so fast, I definitely forget to tell you daily how wonderful you are. I'm so lucky to have you. You always keep my life interesting and encourage me to follow my dreams and take risks. I can't wait to see what this next year holds for us. The future is bright. 

This weekend

Chris's parents came into town from the bay area. It was a quick visit, but we had a full weekend of fun. We explored USD, where Chris's dad started law school, went shopping, ate a LOT of food and toured around some of the neighborhoods here in San Diego.

I'm looking forward to many more of these family visits now that we're not in the Midwest. I got so sick of visiting with everyone twice a year! Now we just have to figure out the holidays...

A dream is a wish

My brother Casey (unexpectedly) came to stay with me for a week and a half. Eeek for unannounced guests! Luckily it was just him, so I didn't worry too much about not being prepared. We got a lot in while he was here, despite me working almost every day. We even made it to Disneyland! Here's a peek into our sibling adventures in the happiest place on Earth.

Sidenote: Now they'll definitely never let me in Club 33... I never had a shot anyway. People had no clue what we were doing/looking at!

There's nothing like acting like you're little kids again, just for a day. Even if it is 107 degrees (you can totally see how sweaty we are with Mickey, gross! ).
