Drat.

I just found out today that my last day at Best Buy is Friday. Retail is in a world of hurt and Best Buy is no exception to the rule. My boss and the VP in our group both had lots of great things to say about me, which lessened the blow. In fact, my boss went out on a limb to make a pitch to bring me on full time. It didn't fly in this environment, but I was honored that he thought so highly of me. Anyway, it's not the best time (is it ever a good time?) for one of us to be losing a job. On the bright side, I get to volunteer more at Lark's school and I look fabulous in a hairnet. In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to what's around the corner and am grateful for not having to go this alone.

Galactic Pizza!

We introduced Mom, Kristy, Brad and the kids to Galactic Pizza last Saturday. For those who aren't familiar with it, they are super eco-friendly and drive electric cars to deliver the pizza. The superhero suits are part of their schtick. I love it. So did our guests. (Pinney-Cogans: Fear not, your photos with the Galactic Pizza dude will show up sometime in the not-so-distant future). Love, me

2008 Girl Scout Songfest

Here's me - I mean our troop - singing at Songfest. Maybe I was a little too exuberant. What can I say? I like singing.

Lark's video debut

Here's Lark's first flip video. We think she's a natural! I love the little kid perspective of looking up at everything:-).

There's a lot going on

And we're really behind in writing it all into our blog. We moved last night into our temporary abode in Uptown. Lark is thrilled with her new little room and has fully made it her own, complete with blankie and Coconut (her round little stuffed monkey). The pets seem to be adjusting to the new digs as well. It was a little surreal saying goodbye to Aldrich last night. Sort of sad, peaceful, and exciting all at the same time. Summing it up, we're all just so happy to be together, where ever we are.

Happy 40th Birthday, Tom

We're in Mendocino, CA, for Tom's 40th birthday. We just had dinner at MacCallum Place Inn and Restaurant. We happened across this place by way of a recommendation from a women at a jewelry store in town. The Inn has rooms in a Victorian house as well as some quaint, little cottages snuggled in the heart of the town. We're staying in cottage #8 (see photos below) and had a delectable dinner at the restaurant just a few steps away from our front door. We have more to report on the first few days of our honeymoon, but that will have to wait for another day.

Happy birthday, my Love!

Love, Lisa

Off to Get Married!

Joy! Joy! Joy!
