How could you go to Salt Lake City and pass on Brewvies? Get some beer, watch a movie. Martha and I saw Semi-Pro, which was exactly what you’d expect from a Will Ferrell movie about 1970s semi professional basketball.
Here’s one of Martha beneath the Brewvies sign. I had to tweak the image to get her to (barely) show up.
We were both thankful that this weekend we got to stay put!
Friday night Heather and Tim drove up our way to see the Natalie Cole show at the Granada so we tagged along for the dinner and dessert portions of their evening.
We had your basic Saturday yesterday. I had my traditional breakfast with Susan, ran a few errands, did a little fun shopping, I even got to take a nap! Zach spent the better part of the morning preparing our dinner for the slow-cooker. It was tasty - Cuban Chicken. It was done around 8pm and afterwards we retired to our little tv room and watched My Left Foot. Yes, My Left Foot, the film from 1989.
Today we decided to take a little drive north and are presently sitting in a cute coffee shop in San Luis Obispo. The drive up the coast was spectacular with lots of wildflowers along the 101. Soon we will go get some lunch and check out SLO a little more before heading back home for church. I’ll be sure to take some pictures of our little day trip today and post this week. 
Saturday night the Becchios came over for some pizza. We had a fun time with them, reading Curious George, hearing about the Santa Barbara Junior High 75th anniversary carnival, and getting the boys in their jammies for the night. The quote of the evening: Me: D, are you excited to be at Cha-cha’s house? D: ZACH’S house. Well, I beg your pardon!
Paul McLean rescued my data from my dead computer. (Thanks, Paul!) Here’s an old photo I rediscovered. Zach made me post it.
The weather was so beautiful on Sunday that Zach and I packed a picnic lunch and headed down to Butterfly Beach to soak up some sun. Our friend Carolyn met us down there, too. 
I pray to Jesus every night and try to go to church as much as I can.
Zach and I were in South Pasadena this weekend for Esmée’s first birthday. It was a fun day at the park, despite the rain! Here we are with the birthday monkey.
