A year and a half ago she and I were drinking margaritas and pontificating on when we would feel like adults. And then this little nugget came along. Funny how that works.

The holidays came and went with its regular bouts of laughter and cheers and tears (AND COLD!)

But I got to spend time with some top notch Brits (including my brother the ex-pat)!

I had a blast but this getting older stuff is utter bullshit.

Then to San Diego to visit the Parkes' before they embark on their epic, 3 month, Central American adventure. They both quit the jobs they hated, saved up some money and are going to travel around, volunteer and learn Spanish. Living the dream much?

We went bowling and I was obsessed with the black lights and lasers

And of course, LJ too. I mean really, have you ever seen such a funny little person?

This is a video we sent Darius after he left to tell him how much we missed him.
