Kevin&Stephanie

So this weekend Steph and I took a little trip to Kansas. I know what you're thinking. Why on earth would you take the time and spend the money to spend the weekend in such a miserable place? Trust me, I understand your shock. It would take a very good reason for me to go to such a place, and as it happens, I had a very good reason; that is, the wedding of one Sasha Ann. Some of you may know who I am talking about. Others, however, might be quite in the dark as to who this Sasha character is and why I would be attending her wedding. Well let me tell you all, Sasha and I go way back. And when I say way back I mean Junior year of high school (remember folks, I'm a military brat. If I know someone for more than three years it's considered 'way back'. (For those who are looking at the picture below and thinking "This Sasha sure is weird..." you're right. But, it was I who gave her the idea of dressing as a cowboy and riding the carosel.) So the question t...

The last several days have been sweltering - usually over 100 degrees. This is when we remember that, yes, we do live in a desert. We try to avoid going outside in the heat of the day. At least our jobs have good air condition. Hope everyone is having a good week!

I've been trying to post a Mother's Day post since Saturday, but I kept getting kicked off blogger! Anyway, a late happy mother's day to both of our moms. We love you so much! Thank you for raising us and helping us to become who we are today.

For my (Stephanie's) birthday, we took a trip to Palm Springs with some friends and rode the aerial tramway up to the mountains. It was a a great time with friends, with some wonderful views. Eric, Greg, Liz, Mike, Becca, Kevin, Katie, Joel and Stephanie: our hiking party. We experienced both snow and scorching heat in the same day! In the evening, a slightly different group of friends celebrated at TGI Fridays. 24 is not bad so far.

I have strep-throat...again! I think on both instances, I caught it from patients. I'm feeling pretty crummy today, however I should be getting better soon, because I already started antibiotics. Yesterday Kevin and I re-upholstered our trunk/bench. I think it looks quite nice. Maybe we'll post a picture when we get some decorative pillows to spruce it up more. Hope everyone is doing well.

It has been a lovely weekend. We took nice longs walks both today and yesterday, and we admired many beautiful roses and nice houses. We also gave our cars much-needed baths! Ein is thoroughly exhausted from all the walking. Here Ein is with his "animal friends" that I used today in the 2&3 year-olds classroom at church to teach about animals.
