Official Fall
ok, peeps. I can’t deny it, and I won’t pretend to be something I’m not - today was a big day, and I was NOT disappointed. It is not officially fall til my shows start up again — they did so tonight, and they did not disappoint. It was SO worth the wait! I don’t have any interesting stories, and I don’t have any cute pictures, but I let’s face it - the new seasons of The Office & Grey’s Anatomy TOTALLY warrant a post. If you don’t watch these shows, you are missing out, and I am sorry to hear it. ha ha - but SERIOUSLY some good tube time tonight. Bjorn and I had some friends over, and we may have created a monster - this might become a Thursday night ritual!
Anyways, not too much else exciting, though another reason today was a big day - Los Angeles is proud to announce it has finally caught up with the midwest (soooo backwards) and opened an H&M store. It’s in Pasadena, so it’s a bit of a hike - but you better believe Annie and I already have our trip mapped out (not the first weekend, not on ANY weekend, during the week, it’s not as busy and they’ve gotten a truck with replenishment from Saturday and Sunday sales). And that is about the extent of the excitement. Hooray for a short Friday - at 1 pm I am off and no plans but poolside. It’s cooled off a bit, but still warm enough for me! TTFN.
Back To School…..
Hello! Well, Bjorn and I have been on a whirlwind over the last two weeks, and though it has been TONS of fun, I think we are both pretty anxious to get back to a normal life pattern. Acutally, the whole summer fell under the “way too crazy” category. I always thought that was a midwest thing - i.e. ’squeeze everything in before it gets too cold and you watch movies all winter’ — but I am now realizing it is universal. Cold winter or no, summer is the time to go on vaca, blow off cleaning the house, and get tan. We did a lot of all those things. :) When I looked at the pics we have taken over the last few weeks though, I realized that we really did see summer out a high note! Here’s what all happened…..
**My sister Daryl moved to So Cal to begin college…..So exciting for both of us to live in the same state, FINALLY! (She’s attending Azusa Pacific University - which is about 30 minutes from Bjorn and me. Judy, Bjorn’s mom also works there!)
**Randomly (?), Sarah Miller began her freshman year at APU this year also. Sarah’s mom, Sandi, was my bible study leader in H.S. — Sandi just means sooo much to me! We got to see all the Millers, which is a BIG deal, because they are full time missionaries in Ecuador. It was wonderful to catch up with Sandi…..
**Daryl started off her first weekend of college with a bang - she landed herself in the ER!!!! Poor sis! She is ok, but there was a chance it was appendicitis, so you gotta go in. She was supposed to be officially ‘on her own’ at 2 pm on Sunday — but instead she was here (she was a super trooper!) :
**Our closet collapsed :(
**We attended an Angels game (make that the “Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim” (can we make that a more complex team name?), and sat in great seats!!!
**We took a trip to Vegas with Steve & Annie - So fun!!!!
**And finally, I turned 27…. yikes….. (look at the roses in the background that my sweet hubby gave me, though!)
And so ends Summer ‘06. Bjorn has a week and a half of his second year under his belt. So far so good! Until next time…..
