Hello California, Hello!

We do live in California but Mikey and I thought that we needed to tour it. Loma Linda to Thousand Oaks, Santa Barbara, Anaheim, and back home. Spring break :)

Boston, New York, what's next?

A simple sister's trip. Nothing is simple when the sister's get together. "Katie, fly across country and be ready to move." Those were the words that Sarah told me in preparation. This was not suppose to be a relaxing, see what we feel like doing trip, no this was a carefully planned and executed trip, leaving no room for error. I arrived in Boston on a cold cold night. My California body could not quite tolerate the freezing temperatures (50s?). We celebrated Sarah's birthday over a nice dinner and proceeded to go back to her room and review the schedule. Friday we would go to Connecticut and Saturday we would catch the train into New York City. Neither of us could sleep that night as our minds pondered all that we would see. We arrived in New York City on a cold Saturday morning, grabbed Broadway tickets, walked around times square, went to the top of the empire state building, saw a show, walked around the city more, went to dinner, took the cab to Serendipity for dessert, took a cab back to the apartment and sleep. Sunday we woke up early took the subway to central park, took the subway to Battery Park, walked to the world trade center site, saw the statue of liberty, took the subway to macys, shopped for 12 minutes, took the train back to Connecticut and then drove to Boston. Thanks Sarah for yet again another fabulously planned and flawlessly thought out schedule. And thanks to my wonderful husband who let me use his free airline ticket :)

23 Years Ago

Happy Birthday Sarah Elizabeth! My sister and best friend.

Where Mikey Spends His Time

The Sun Has Come Out!

We had a great weekend filled with family (Mikey's dad) and friends (Lisa). We spent time in Laguna and Huntington Beach.

Prepare to receive your Bibles!

Mikey was dedicated tonight as a Christian physician. He received a Bible with the university symbol. Right before they stood up to receive their Bibles, one of the doctors said, "Prepare to receive your Bibles." I laughed, how does one prepare for that? Anyways...it was a nice but kind of silly. It was similar to the white coat ceremony; they seem to really love their ceremonies here in Loma Linda. I am looking forward to the ceremony in 3 1/2 years...

I have been learning a lot and pondering.... more to come later

Snow in Southern California

After church today Mikey and I drove 20 minutes to play in the snow. This week there was a bad storm, we got a lot of rain and the mountains got snow. It felt like I was in Washington again :)
