October Happenings

The CCHS Parade, yes happened about a month ago...I know I am months behind in catching everyone up to speed. The parade was a success, and the kids had a great time. We also had a much better turn out than the other Middle School, which made us look that much better:)
Let's see, there was also Brad and Ryan's wedding. It was at their home and Scott did all the food and the wedding cake. He truly out did himself and it was a nice evening. Two people who are truly in love in every sense of the word. I haven't even had time to take the red out of these pictures!

I've also been hiking almost every Sunday with some girl friends from work. This has been quite enjoyable for us to not only get some exercise, but see some hidden sights as well.

Trip to San Fran

I know this actually occured about a month ago, but I've been super busy. Rich and I traveled to San Francisco exactly a month ago for the wedding of a friend of his from college. They have been together for 11 years, but wanted to wait to tie the knot until she finished medical school. Currently they live in San Diego, but are from the bay area, thus the location of the wedding was in Palo Alto. We were very excited to get away from school and the Palm Springs heat for a mini vacation. The wedding was on Stanford's campus, where she went to school, in a beautiful cathedral. The reception was then held a country club nearby. The service and the reception was very classy and I really enjoyed meeting some of Rich's friends. At the reception, this girl at our table, prior to being introduced, said, "Melissa?" It took me a second to recogize her, but she was an LAS scholar from CMU the year after me. I was sort of emabarrassed that I hadn't really remembered her, but nothetheless it was a funny coincidence. What a small world that I see someone I know from home at a wedding in San Francisco! No one is really sure what dance move Rich is testing out here?!!?


The next day we had a lot of time to kill before our plane left, so we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge and went to this beautiful place called Muir Beach. It was windy and chilly, but lets face it, I'm a wimp when it comes to weather now. Then we drove back into the city and took a stroll down to Fisherman's Warf. San Francsiso is just like it looks in the movies, cute little houses with super hilly roads and trollies! I really liked it and want to go back for a longer stay soon!
On this super steep road we thought we'd try to make it look like Rich was going to fall forward...as you can see I am not a photographer!
