Ultimate Dog Tease

Happy Memorial Day!

We went to LA for the weekend to visit Dennis and his girlfriend, Ani. We had a great time in Marina Del Ray and Santa Monica. Friday night we went out for some drinks. We took his boat out for the day on Saturday and then had a great dinner in Malibu at a place called Dukes (nested on the cliffs of the ocean, beautiful!) Finished the night off in the hot tub. Sunday we walked around Santa Monica and saw The Hangover II (K as in KNIFE!) with Dennis, Ani, Jason and Sarah.

So blessed to be in such a beautiful place and so appreciative of all the soldiers for giving up their freedom for us.. Will update more pics soon.

Buy Local

We joined the CSA Movement (community supported agriculture)!

Basically, every week (or every other depending on your preference) we pick up a box of locally grown veggies, free-range fresh eggs and baked good (bread/jam/honey) for a fixed price (Usually ranges from $20-22 a week).

It's a great way to support farming and bakeries in our area and the veggies are organic so it's a win-win.

I love you Joseph Andrew Johnston.

Joe runs a 5k

While I was out of town, Joe ran the Big Sur 5k and placed 277 out of 803! How amazing is he?

I am so proud of him and hope next year to run with him before we depart!

quick update

Hey all,

Have been traveling the last couple of weeks and will update photos soon, got home tonight so pictures will be up by the end of the week. Joe and I went home to Indianapolis for a few days to spend Easter with his family. It was really nice. Joe went home and I headed to NY for two days to spend time with my family. A short but very sweet visit. Lots of stories to share and will share soon. But for now, I need to get back to the grind and grocery shop, do some laundry and get ready for Danielle and Matt to visit on Saturday.

Hope all is well.
