Happy Spring! Cheers to another year of sun and fun!!

Tanis and I hanging out for the first time since the 6th grade!!! What a rare opportunity!!! This is what can come from MySpace and Facebook. Lets do it again soon and thank you for the cheese from Italy...vunderful!

Hiking our way through Spring!!! This perfect setting is only 6 miles away from our home!!! Ohlone wilnerness or something to that effect. We heard there are caves to spelunk through but we haven't found them just yet.

But we did find snakes. This one would not cross the "road" so we had to take the long way home.

Me, enjoying the creekside view and the sun in my face, now this is the good life!!!

Next time we hike in our bathing suits!

What a view from up here, and this is only half way up!

Playing in the City of San Francisco on a sunny January day!!!

Even the unemployed need a day off! We escaped our insanity by taking a peak at some real insanity. Visit the Musee Mecanique for a disturbing time. Take a look below and you will see what I mean! http://www.museemechanique.org/

The Picture above is me at Hard Rock Cafe on Pier 39...I believe this is officially my 4th Hard Rock Cafe location experience....I loved this one for the Grateful Dead Dancing Bear ceiling.

The Island...

Yep, Drunkerds Dream...put in a quarter and watch a drunk roll around in a barrel.

An amusement park made out of toothpicks. Something tells me this was built in the Great Depression...

A six shooter!

This one was kind of weird...

This is Dan, his sign is below. To get Dan drunk, drop in a quarter. I WISH it only cost a quarter to get Dan drunk.

Ferris Wheel made out of toothpicks, it really spins!!!

The Dancing Amigos???

Bowling alley

Part of a big scene that moves, it got kind of rascist in here...very old machines. Dan looks a little dismayed, these "penny machines" were hostile at times.

My favorite kind of Den!

Part of a fully functioning carnival!!!

My favorite, a Hash House! Now that's a carnival!!!

An official boxing ring.

Put in a quarter to watch a man get hung...wow, really??? Why did I come here?

The funny video below ought to make you laugh! I haven't figured out how to turn the video over just yet but the laughing is the important part.

Additional wedding photos have come in!!! A video will soon follow...

I like this one the best! This one might have to be framed!

Wedding pictures in no particular order. Hopefully we will have more pictures and a video posted soon.

Honey says, "What, you and Papa had me out of wedlock"? She got over it...

Getting ready for our special day!!! I'm shiny!

All Done! Seriously, that was quick!

February 3, 2009

14 years ago (Windows 95) on this very day, we met in Hollywood, CA on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. I will never forget the moment I met you!

I cannot believe I pulled off the Hair-a-gami!

I love you boo boo

I love you too hug-a-boo

I'm trying to look sexy here...is it working? Am I sexy?

Happy Inauguration Day!!!!

What a truly much needed inspirational event. I am both honored and saddened by this years election. Honored because we have finally broke a major barrier but saddened that the barrier exists at all and that it still exists. The Inauguration of Barack Obama was a monumental day for ALL Americans, even if you voted for the wrong guy (shame on you). There is much work to be done and I have no doubts that the right guy was elected for the job. Dan and I are at the tail end of this economic crisis, being both unemployed due to lay-offs and seeing our IT careers off-shored for the past 8 years, it is beyond the biggest struggle and obstacle I have ever faced in my life. But challenges are what enrich us and this home, our American home will be enriched. I guess you can call it the "Audacity of Hope". Got Hope? I do now...

The viewing of Inauguration of Barack Obama was held at the Oakland Arena, CA

Today was a day meant to be spent with fellow Democrats because "Yes We Can" just became the "Yes We Did"!

What we look like at 7:00 a.m. on Inauguration Day...happy and hopeful.

The Oakland Arena filling up nicely!

Happy New Year!!! 2009 is going to start off with a trip to the chapel because Dan and I are going to get married!!!! I don't yet know when, where or how...but I do know who. For now, we are pretending as we sport around in our Wedding Bands! I'm thinking a quick wedding early in 2009 with a wedding party during early-mid 2009...we will keep you posted as we close in on definitive time and place. My love to you all!!!
