(I never get sick of this view!!!)Hi everybody!
After a few months' hiatus I decided an update was in order! We have both been keeping extremely busy; Trav with a project at work that is nearing its end, and me with various part-time jobs, and now two part-time jobs that give me full-time hrs!
We have had a great few months catching up with family both here and in Colorado. We have seen Wes and Aleta quite a few times, and we made a quick trip out to Palmdale to see Trav's family and catch up, and we also went to Colorado and had a nice birthday celebration/baby visit with Ryan and Shannon.
A few weeks ago we visited the South Coast Botanic Gardens for a little time in the outdoors and later that night went out downtown with Aleta and Wes and a couple of their friends to "The Edison" a 1920's speak-easy inspired bar in what used to be L.A.'s first power plant. For some reason I didn't take any pictures at the Edison, but here are some from the botanic garden (built on top of a landfill!!!)
A few weeks later and spring is in full-swing here!!! The flowers are blooming, we are getting fresh asparagus, strawberries, etc in our CSA box every couple of weeks, and the beach was packed this weekend as the weather was gorgeous. I have started a little "garden" with some herbs, and I've been very excited to see their growth as the days are getting longer and longer.
I also am very excited that Trav has a bike (a road bike he got for cheap on Craigslist) and I finally got my own this week!!! It's a pink cruiser bike, and pretty big, but a beauty. I plan on giving it a nice tune-up and maybe adding a basket and a light before I take it out for a spin. Very exciting!
We are going to celebrate Easter this weekend with a nice brunch on Sunday with friends, and it will be the first time we really have any group of people over. Belated housewarming? We'll also be starting my birthday celebration early with a trip to the beach on Saturday. Should be a great time.
Well, that's the news for now. We'll be keeping busy with our bikes and the beach, friends and family, work and play, and I'll be crafting and baking for Easter! Hope everyone is enjoying the new growth of spring, wherever you may be!
(crafting supplies and decorations! A holiday necessity!)love,
E & T
