the city of saint francis

David and I spent part of our spring break(s) in Sacramento and San Francisco to visit his dad and step-mom. It was a grand adventure, especially since we caravanned there with his brothers and their families. I failed to take pictures of every leg of the adventure (like the Bonneville Salt Flats that have since turned into the Bonneville Salt Lake or the fish hatchery by the American River), but here are some pictures from San Francisco. I think I need to take more pictures of people instead of things (since I realized we never got a group photo of everyone-sad day), but that is something I will have to remedy on another vacation (which really means that we need to go back to San Francisco/Sacramento. I thoroughly enjoyed my maiden voyage to northern California).

Ghirardelli Square! (I still can't say Ghirardelli for the life of me. At least they
gave us free chocolate).

Nieces!  They are the best!

Love this little girl.


Love this guy.

Ever since England, I love warning/caution signs. They are always a hoot to read.

David and his dad.



Union Square

I hate the nickname Jessie, but I still thought it was cool there was a street that was almost named after me.


Looking out on Union Square from the top of Macy's.



We went there.  They had cool shoes.

And evidently pigeons like leftover cheesecake.



Trolley ride!






Fisherman's Wharf




The Golden Gate Bridge in its foggy glory.


Also, happy Pi Day!  There will be pictures of pi(e) soon, but I thought it would be appropriate to publish this post on 3.14 at 1:59 since those are the digits I happen to know (and also since David loves pi(e)).

sam's birth story

Image
A bunch of people have asked me about Sam's birth. So here are more details (and pictures) than anyone ever wanted. Enjoy! (Also, I wrote this a few weeks ago. It's amazing to see how much he has changed over the past seven weeks. Time flies when you are sleep deprived.) Our little burrito made his debut on Friday, November 6 at 4:45 p.m., weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces, and measured 19.5 inches long. And he was (and is) just perfect. But let me back up. I think I mentioned in this post that David and I were prompted to start trying for a baby much, much sooner than we originally planned. So after much prayer and discussion, we went for it. To be honest, I thought it would take months for the double line to appear on the pregnancy test. But it didn't. And when half a dozen pregnancy tests came back positive (which is a funny story in and of itself, but that's for another day), I felt all the feels. Surprised. Excited. Terrified. Elated. Anxious. Let's just say tha...

dean's list

I seriously feel like I won a Life Tile in the Game of Life. I don't know what it means, but it must be good if Hasbro decided to include it in their game. Which, now I really want to know: what is the dean's list?

convos with a prego lady

Truth: pregnancy has made me rather cynical. I try to keep it hidden most of the time (and usually David is the one who bears the brunt of my pent-up sass. He is a champion). I'm not sure why cynicism is a current symptom I am experiencing. It may be due to the fact that I recently read a quote that opened my eyes to all of the nonsensical things people say to fill up space. Here it is, for your own personal enjoyment: "Yesterday at church, a lady took me aside with the express purpose to tell me, 'Don't feel bad. When God closes a door, he opens a window.'" Melissa choked on some pita bread. "I kid you not. What the heck does that mean anyway? That I'm supposed to climb out a window now? Or is the window just to air out the house, which is stinking to high heaven, given the fact that the door has been shut indefinitely and NO ONE CAN GET OUT?!"  —Shannon Hale, The Actor and the Housewife (2009).  After laughing out loud, I started to t...
