Hello family and friends!\u00a0 I created this blog a long time ago with the intentions of sending out monthly updates about Lisa and I.\u00a0 This will be the first one.\u00a0 Hopefully I get better at this.<\/p>\n
We had a really busy August.\u00a0 Lisa has a new gym, Equinox, and spends a couple hours a day there.\u00a0 She is a workout machine.\u00a0 She has also discovered these protein pancakes…a little weird for me, but she loves them<\/p>\n
The first weekend (I think it was the first weekend, this might have actually been in July) Alex and Twee stayed a couple of nights.\u00a0 This also happened to be the same time that John and Molly were in town.\u00a0 Friday night was our first visit to the new Manhattan Beach Sharkeez.\u00a0 I’d have to say I like the old one better as it was more laid back.\u00a0 We beached it during the day and enjoyed some good burgers at Union Cattle on Saturday night.\u00a0 John and I got two surf sessions in, the water was nice, but the surf wasn’t anything to talk about…still we had a good time and a few good waves.<\/p>\n
The next weekend we did a backpacking trip to Ten Lakes in Yosemite with Tom, Amelia, Suzzane and Paul.\u00a0 We had amazing weather and the lake was beautiful.\u00a0 During the second day we went a little off roading to get some awesome views.\u00a0 What a great trip!<\/p>\n
The following weekend my mom came for a visit. \u00a0 Mom brought the good weather and we had some great beach days, a fun\u00a0 bike ride to Marina Del Ray Tony P’s,\u00a0 another fantasic dinner at the Post (discovered by Aunt Jan) and topped the weekend off at the last Hermosa Beach sunset concert<\/p>\n
The same weekend Rollie and Jeni were in town.\u00a0 It was fun to hang out as we hadn’t seen them since our wedding over a year ago.\u00a0 We had a fun dinner at Frito Misto and good wine thanks to Jeni.\u00a0 After a good breakfast at Martha’s I had to get back to work.\u00a0 We are looking forward to visiting them in October.<\/p>\n
The next weekend I played in the first annual Aerospace Futsol Soccer tournament.\u00a0 Futsol is played on an smaller indoor field with a weighted ball that doesn’t bounce.\u00a0 My team ended up playing four 25 minute games to get into the finals. \u00a0 The final game was a good game, but we gave up a goal in the last 10 seconds and went to a 5 minute over time.\u00a0 About 3 minutes into the overtime I rocked a goal in to go up by 1.\u00a0 We hung on to the last second only to let the other team have a hard shot from the left (same shot that scored to go into overtime) which hit the side post.\u00a0 We won!\u00a0 So much fun and I was exhausted, can’t wait until next year.<\/p>\n
The next day we went to our friend Fayth’s wedding in Santa Barbara.\u00a0 It was an outdoor wedding with great weather.\u00a0 We had a blast and stayed too late.\u00a0 After the hour and half drive home we finally went to sleep at 1 am.<\/p>\n
To finish off August, Lisa has been in her classroom getting it ready and today (8\/31) was the first day back.<\/p>\n
Its been a crazy busy month, but we have had so much fun.\u00a0 September is looking a bit slower…thank goodness…though we are heading to Tuscon, Lisa’s college which she hasn’t been to since she graduated and to see Jeff, Michelle, the baby,\u00a0 and Josie and Abalos.<\/p>\n
Well I hope you enjoyed the first update.\u00a0 I hope everyone is doing well.<\/p>\n
Love,<\/p>\n
