Joyful Me!: December 2014

Christmas and Choir

We sang 5 concerts in three days! I had some company at one concert....

Chatting pre-concert

Singing

Quite the crowd

Our second concert Sunday was at a nursing home right on the water, after which I got to see the cranes that inspired George Lucas....

Looking forward to a little break from choir and another camping trip this weekend!

Random Goodness

Tom got me marshmallows with my pictures on them!

Mission Dolores, the oldest building in San Franscisco

I got knocked over by the wind and rain!

Cake catastrophe...

Thanksgiving

Maylin is so pretty!

I got to go to Seattle for Thanksgiving to visit everyone and meet Maylin. It was cold, but great!

Aya made shoes for Milo

Family at the Asian Art Museum

Kids and the Olympics!

Yum...

I can't wait to go back! xoxo

Camping and climbing!

The weekend of November 16 I got to go camping for the first time! We hiked and I even got to (try to) climb at the edge of the ocean!

"Are you sure about this?"

I wasn't able to climb the route, but I did get to "jug" up the wall, which is very much about coordinating arms and legs without actually having any skill. Perfect for me!

Goofing off with the high-speed lens

We stayed at Wright's Beach and camped right on the beach!

I stepped out of the tent in the morning...and said good morning to the Pacific Ocean

The delicious coffee spot in Jenner

Coffee in the morning

Coffee in the evening (decaf)

What a great weekend! xoxo

Pootzy and I have a lot of great friends who helped us move about a month ago. It was a quick afternoon followed by a few weeks of settling in. Now we're in our new normal, which is living a block from Lake Merritt and two blocks from work, which is great!
