Inquiring Minds Might Want To Know...

I've been working on Melissa's invitations and they are finally done! I had such a great time designing them and putting them all together. I'm beginning to design the next invitation order I have. So far it's been fun, maybe it'll be my booming business someday... Kristin's New York Invitations Inc.

Recent East Coast Weekend Trip

Our recent trip to the East Coast was great! We got to visit with Chris’s grandparents. His grandfather is not doing well, so it was great to see him again. He spoke slowly and was able to walk a little with help. He is a very wise man. They gave me a gorgeous jade and gold bracelet that Pau Pau (Chris’ grandmother) had made from gold coins and a large piece of jade she received at her wedding! It’s beautiful and fits my tiny little wrists like it was made for me. Thank you!

In the record temperatures, we also got to go to Melissa’s bridal shower! It was so HOT… like 110 degrees! Yikes. But it was so fun to see Melissa and Jim. In the midst of all the surprises and spoiling of surprises, Melissa was actually surprised I think! She got so many gifts and ate lots of bubble gum in the sole bridal shower game!

We are so excited for her and Jim. Their wedding is going to be so much fun! We are looking forward to the week in NYC for their wedding and to help them celebrate!

Has it been 10 years?

It was bound to happen...a time has come that I never actually thought would get here. It's my 10 year High School Reunion! What?! I know, I look so young:) I just can't help it. Ha!

Honestly, I knew it had to be happening and I wasn't really looking forward to it. But I just got the little evite and I actually wanted to go! It would be so much fun to see all the great people I enjoyed years of torturous school with. It's happening a couple days before we move to Palo Alto, so I don't think we'll be able to make it. Maybe we'll go to the 15 or 20 year.

So, to Rogers High School Alumni... Congrats on making it 10 years out of High School! Oh how I miss the back hall, the portables, the little smelly gym, the sketchy pizza place across the street, the ghetto tennis courts and purple tennis skirts, Joe Albi Stadium, sweaty dances in the cafeteria (yes, we had dances in the cafeteria), Spanish class (hola, como esta usted?), Miss Munoz for Algebra (all the boys had a crush on her), Our wierdo Chemistry teacher, and my favorite sticky place the auditorium. I know there are other great things and places, these are just a few I've pulled out of the back of my brain. Any others?

What I'd like to say...

In this day of technology, namely the internet, there are many places to "post" things to or whatever. A lot of the time you have to make a profile of yourself and describe your interests. Well, I'd like to say... I love yoga. Because it seems to be very cool to say that you love yoga. I CAN say I like yoga. It hurts my knees a bit and I'm not that patient (hence, probably why I NEED yoga) with all the poses. So there I said it. I like yoga, I don't love it. And I'm still very bitter that Blessing (our rockin' Pilates instructor) decided to quit 24 hour fitness and teach independently. This left us with no Pilates and I'm not a very good self instructor.
