Bolsa Chica Wetlands

Steve and I decided to work out in a different enviornment this weekend. We got a bit tired of the gym so we decided to go check out the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. They are located across from the beach in HB. Check out info here: http://www.bolsachica.org/

So as we started out the brush isn't too high. I was enjoying the site by looking around when Steve threw his arm in front of me and told me stop. I looked down and a very large rattle snake was slithering across the trail right in front of us. Two more steps and I would have stepped right in the middle of his body! So we slowly backed away and let him go across the trail in front of us! It was a huge reminder we were surrounded by nature and needed to be a bit more alert! Or at least I did! Thanks Steve! ;-)

Nicolas James...

We went to dinner with Stephen's sister, Robin and her 2 1/2 yr old son, Nicolas! So that makes him Steve's nephew...and my SOON to be nephew! We had sushi and he used chopsticks like a pro! People are pretty impressed to see a 2 yrs old using chopsticks! LOL!

District Champions Again!!

For the past few weeks Steve and Eric Dowell have been coaching the 7th Grade Girls Soccor team at Lexington Junior High. They won every game and became Seventh Grade Girls District Champions for yet another year! Steve starts coaching 7th and 8th grade boys next week!

We're ENGAGED!!!!!!

Hello Everyone! We wanted to let you know we got engaged tonight in Solvang in front of Mattie's Tavern: the same place Steve took me on our third date, where we knew something special was forming.

When I got to the door he grabbed my arm and swung me around, already on his knee!

Apparently my response was, "you are doing this here? now?!" He then reminded me I hadn't answered his question!

Of course it was a "YES!!"
