Life,

        the exciting parts:

Christmas 2004:

• In Colorado (near Winter Park) with Dan's family
• In California on the 26th with my family (sorry there are so few photos, I was a little tired)

____________________________________________

Kula (Hawaiian for 'Golden'), is the newest addition to our family. He keeps us smiling and running. My parents are his sister's humans so many of the photos have two pups (you're not seeing double). Kula is technically a boy, Mandy a girl. The easiest ways to differentiate are Mandy's darker coat and Kula's cute cowlick on his nose. Both are incredibly sweet puppies that we love to bits.

Seattle: Thank you Eric and Kristin for getting married and giving us an excuse to go to Seattle. In Saturday morning, out Sunday night. Here are just a few pictures since we made the mistake of not taking to camera out kayaking with us. Seattle is beautiful (when the sun is shining), especially from the water. And, we got to see the 'Sleepless in Seattle' house boat--oh, so exciting! (sorry, no pictures of that. watch the movie.)

Graduation: Somehow, they let me out and I finally have the piece of paper in my hand. My buddy Alison Fong and I, with the help of a few classmates, planned the Creative Arts Program convocation. Alison was a star arranging all of the vendors since you all know how much I hate calling people. It was a ton of work on top of our class loads, but was well worth it and we had a great time together. Lots of Thai Basil and late nights designing and creating.
