Here are some upcoming events and what we've been keeping busy with:
* In January we took a trip to Yosemite. The waterfalls were gorgeous, we're looking forward to going back in the summer.
* The weekend of January 26th we took another trip to San Francisco for my birthday. This time around we stayed at the Galleria Park hotel, toured Alcatrez and the maritime museum ships. I enjoyed the sea lions at pier 39.
* For Valentine's weekend we traveled to the Napa valley and stayed at a bed & breakfast in Napa. The mustard was in bloom, we toured a few wineries, had a picnic lunch, and relaxed with massages at a spa.
* We've been keeping busy with our new jobs, church activities, home improvement, and sight seeing.
