1. James' sister and nieces came to visit from Washington. We had a lot of family visiting time with them and others from our area - very fun!
2. We had new counters installed in our kitchen and both bathrooms! I really, really need to get around to doing an updated house tour.
3. We went to two Giants games - one with my family and one with my coworkers.
4. I finally completed our wedding album and ordered it from
Shutterfly, just in time for our anniversary! I'm a little disappointed in the quality, but not sure that I care enough to do anything about it.
5. We
celebrated our first wedding anniversary in Santa Cruz. It was lovely - the best part was our sailing trip on the
Chardonnay II. We saw a whale and dolphins, drank wine (chardonnay, naturally) and met another couple that was
also celebrating their anniversary and
also got married at Lighthouse Point - just a year earlier than us! I told the captain my name and he said I was the first passenger named Chardonnay that he'd had :)
6. I've been busy planning our housewarming party, which is October 2. Should be a good time!
7. Finally, BIG NEWS: I quit my job!! This was a huge decision and something I had never done... I quit without having another job lined up (Other than the time I quit my high school job to move away to college, of course). I had not been unemployed for a single day since the age of 18. I'm lucky to have a husband with a job, so I was able to do this. It was the best decision for me. I didn't like the work, I didn't like the way I was treated, so what's the point? It's a strange position for me to be in - one that I'm not used to. But I know that it was the best decision for me.
I'm going to try to get a house tour put together in the near future, and pick up blogging in general. Trouble is that lately I do NOT feel like sitting in front of a computer, and have no motivation to blog about life... I hope I get inspired soon!
