Wedding, museum, cooking, SCHOOL!!!

Well it's been a while now hasn't it. I thought I'd get on and actually pretend for another moment that I still am aware this blog exists. :) Life has been very eventful lately and I do think on a regular basis that I should get on here and post and put up some pictures. However. I am always at work when I have these thoughts. And once again, I am at work. But this is the first step right? :)
So Kate got married last month!!! That has to be the biggest thing that happened recently and will probably hold the illustrious title of Most Exciting Thing That Happened for a while. I got to go to Chicago and see her and her new hubby John and all of my family (except Josh of course) and I even got to go to Wisconsin for a few days. Rits and family and I went to an air museum and played around there for a while. They had a really cool kids area with toys and hands on science stuff like how to hover a helicopter - which is really quite difficult - and a heat sensor camera - I was so cold in Wisconsin that my color was red and orange instead of orange and yellow and when Andy put his hands on my shoulders it left yellow hand prints! Oh my poor little California acclimated self! Lucky for me, Kate let me borrow her very large and warm wool peacoat. Nevermind that everyone else was wearing just jackets. :) What can I say. I've turned into a pansy.
I've also been doing a bit of cooking lately. I've decided that since I don't get to go home for Christmas and spend gobbs of time in Wisconsin with all my frosty family, I'm baking! I made a pie for the first time and next up on the hit list is the Lemon Coconut Squares. Pictures to follow, hopefully sooner rather than later. :) Again. I'm at work. This is a problem. 
Dave is finishing his last week of school before finals right now and he - and I - can't wait for him to be done! He'll be graduating in the summer and I've already applied to a school pretty close to home and I can't wait to go!!! Hallelujah!!! 
So like I said. Hopefully I'll remember some time when I'm not at work and I'll post some pictures. Until then... chao. :)
