Jennifer & Selena visit
Jennifer & Selena visited on Sunday the 15th. It’s great having regular visits with them, and this one was no exception. We had a great time playing the new Mega Europe version of Ticket to Ride, and of course catching up on each others’ lives.
Celebratory Dinner
Deanna referred a great candidate to Guidewire through me, so here it is 3 months later and I’m getting a big bonus! To celebrate I took Deanna, Ravi, adn Val out to dinner at Cafe Zuni in SF on Tuesday. Yum!
No More Storage Unit!
With a LOT of help from Cutberto and Mario, Val and I emptied our storage unit on the 7th. With me coordinating downstairs and Val organizing upstairs, we were able to get almsot everything into the attic in an organized fashion so we’ll be able to find everything. Still lots of room up there! There are a dozen boxes in the house (DVDs, records, and books) and another 5-10, plus some furniture, in the garage (stuff to be gone through), but it’s looking great! And no more monthly expense. We were exhausted afterwards, but we did an awesome job!
Weird July 4th
No fireworks, no BBQ. Quiet day at home and a relatively short trip to our storage unit to scope out the Big Move. It was nice to have a relaxing day in the middle of the week.
Val’s home, Kids are gone
Dropped the kids off with Glynis & Susan at Amtrak, went shopping, then picked Val up at the airport.
The itinerary on the train has changed since they won’t stop in Grand Junction due to the fires in Colorado. Glynis is disappointed at not being able to go to Pike’s Peak.
Transition weekend
Kids leave on vacation with Glynis and Susan tomorrow, and Val arrives home a few hours later.
The vacation itinerary:
- Leave June 30th
- Arrive Grand Junction July 1st
- Stay in Moab, Utah July 1&2
- Stay in Woordland Park, Co July 3rd
- Stay in Denver, Co July 4 & 5th
- Train to Chicago July 6th, arriving July 7th
- Staying in Chicago July 7 – 12th
- Leaving Chicago the July 12th, Arriving back home July 14th
Should be a blast!
Val will finally get to see the kids!
Val’s been gone almost a week
Val left for Tokyo last Saturday, and should be on her way to Seoul soon. One more week until she’s back home. We miss her!
Out on the town
On Saturday, Val and I first conducted the Exiles orientation with Rio, and then headed over to the Powerhouse to wish Leland a happy birthday. I must be getting old… it felt weird to be heading into a bar at 10pm, and then hanging out with loud music and partying folks for a while. But it was a lot of fun, especially dancing with Lance.
Val’s home!
After a relatively uneventful flight from Rom to Frankfurt and home, Val arrived home on Sunday evening, predictably exhausted. Great to have her back… and she brought German chocolate!
Val leaves for a visit
Val left on Friday the 18th to go to Italy to visit Erika and Charles. She was also excited because Tracey, Jason, and Laurie were coming to Italy also! She’ll be back on Sunday the 27th.
