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!

I loved getting to see your new kitchen. What a difference your new counters make! Enjoy your creative freedom that comes along with your funemployment. Your anniversary trip sounds both adventurous and romantic.
Wow. Lots of news Chardonnay. Love the counters. Boat trip looks awesome too. I'm sure you'll find a job with a better atmosphere. Remember to be kind to yourself in all things. Hugs.
