Baby Bonanza!

Joe and I went to San Francisco for a mini-vacation together... Our first one! It went so well. We had a great time, the weather was perfect, and we walked our tooshies off!
Saturday we went to a comedy show - Jamie Kennedy - He's on The Ghost Whisperer with Jennifer Love Hewitt. I'm not sure what it says when the opener had a better gig than Jamie did and that Jennifer got a louder welcome than Jamie... It was great. Although Jamie had a rough start, he warmed up through his act and it was actually quite funny! I almost peed my pants during a couple of jokes.
On Sunday we went to the Zoo! It was Baby Bonanza... Apparently they had numerous babies born in the past few months, but they must have been sleeping because we did not see very many babies. Actually, most of the animals must have been sleeping because we did not see very many of them. Either that, or they were shy... Yeah, I think I like that explanation a lot better.
But all in all, the animals we did see were SUPER CUTE!!! We saw giraffs, zebras, rhinos, teddy bears, polar bear, tigers, a lion, and.... MONKEYS!!! The best part I must say so myself. There was a cute chimpanzee roaming around and playing in his area... There was a gorilla, and apparently a baby gorilla was born in December, but no one wanted to play outside. They were all inside their hut and no matter how long Joe and I waited, no one came out to say hi. There were New World Monkeys (little monkeys with long tails) and they were so cute too! These ones were younger and more playful and showing off for everyone. Very curious little creatures... Made me want to take one home for a pet - Move over Mooz!
Joe made me go into the Insect Zoo - CREEPY! I don't, I repeat, I don't like insects AT ALL. Plus, it smelled funny in there.
Oh! And there were penguins and flamingos and meerkats and leemurs and... and... and... I get so excited thinking about all the monkeys I saw!
We walked for four hours and didn't even see all of the animals! What a day...
I took some pictures with my iPhone - whose camera sucks by the way... Here they are (and you'll see why I say the phone camera sucks)...

Joe was not happy about this one - What a sport...





The iPhone's camera may suck, but the navigation system is AWESOME! We didn't get lost once in the city and Joe found the satelite function that moves as you move! Oh my gosh... I can't say enough about this function on my phone.

That night we went to Joe's Crab Shack - I HAVE TO SAY THIS IN CAPITAL LETTERS... I LOVE CRAB and all SEAFOOD... What a fun experience. The waitresses dance and the atmosphere was happy and very welcoming. The food was delicious and the view of our table was the best. It looked out into the Fisherman's Wharf area. Nothing beats people watching in San Francisco...

So our weekend in San Francisco was very relaxing and fun! I'm so glad we can travel together - next time will be a major vacation for the both of us... I can't wait to see what our next adventure has in store for us!

Kristin is a ROCKSTAR!

I know... I know... I haven't posted in a loonnnnnnnnggggg time - I apologize to all of my fans out there!
Here are a few updates -

1. I finished my semester of school - FINALLY! It seemed like the last fifteen weeks went by extremely slow... But I passed my classes and that is all that matters!
2. Joe got a promotion at work - Assistant Manager of Whitney Hall. I'm so proud of him! It is a full-time, year-round position with benefits, etc. He is doing so well working for Chico State and now... Since this is a positive change in his professional career - maybe he'll want to start thinking about settling down! *Wink wink*
3. I got a raise at my job - I soooo deserve it! Haha! I am still enjoying working for New Beginnings. My boss keeps giving me projects to work on. Currently I am working on a business plan for an addition to our business. Wish me luck - I receive a bonus if we are approved by the State for this program.
4. Mooz is still as cute as ever - And I have made a weird discovery - Our kitty has a major foot fetish! I'm speechless - I thought I had a normal kitty... Sigh...
So, this summer... I don't have an exciting plans, unfortunately. Though Joe and I are taking a mini-vacation to San Francisco before he starts his job. We are going to see a comedy show and eat at Joe's Crab Shack! I will also probably be helping my parents pack up the house as they will be moving most of their stuff to Point Roberts, WA this summer. I will also be learning how to install sprinklers and sod - I'm very excited about this!!!
And... This is for my very good friend in Wisconsin - Kari! I added a gadget to my blog to count down your wedding!!!! I cannot wait to go out there and see you and your family!
So, KRISTIN ROCKS! She took amazing - and I mean AMAZING - photos of Joe and I in Bidwell Park. Here are a few of them to share.



I love, love, love them! I had them printed and framed them - now I have some great photos of Joe and I! So thank Kristin for taking the time to take and edit these. You're the Greatest!

So anywho - I'm sorry I don't have more interesting things to share - I'll try and do something exciting in the near future and post it! Haha!
