Back from Yosemite. If you guys have never ventured outside of Yosemite Valley, I promise you the extra drive out to the east side is worth it! We stayed in Tuolomne Meadows and it's beautiful out there.

@ Olmstead Point to gaze at the stars. That's half dome in the background. We got to lay out on the rocks and saw thousands of stars come out at night... even some shooting stars!

The Olympics are bad for my sleep schedule.

I stayed up last night watching the men's gymnastics.

My heart/stomach always turns when they let go of the high bar to do a trick.

I love the way the Chinese gymnasts give each other high fives.

Bonus: Have you seen Kevin Tan? We had some kids from church over for a bbq on Saturday and several of them commented that he looked like Danny. haha.

I had a moment of weakness.

I purchased the most expensive pair of shoes ever. Not EVER as in, the history of mankind. But ever, as in the history of my shopping experience.

I'm still debating whether to keep them or not. I've been walking around in them at home going through the pros and cons. More like trying to justify it to myself.

Giants vs. Braves (4-2)

With the HS girls

Do you watch So You Think You Can Dance?

I <3 Joshua

Next week is the finale. Watch it!



On a different note... the Controller's group is holding a little ping pong tournament at work today and tomorrow. Now the 2 of you that read this know that I've won my fair share of olive oil and trophies. So I decided to sit out on this tournament.

They set up a table in the conference room right next to me and it's LOUD. Nothing like ping pong to bring an entire floor together. :)

I RAN OVER A PIGEON ON SATURDAY.

ICK, ICK, ICK.

I've been asked whether I actually play more than work because I've been all over these days. I assure you, I'm a very hard worker (despite what some people might say). :)
