Hey Everyone!!!
Quick update today! My friend, Anna, sent me this link today and I wanted to share, because it was hilarious.
http://bridalmusings.com/2011/08/romantic-engagement-shoot-turned-horror-zombie-attack/
So, I’m thinking that when that time does come... Tory and I will need to do this... Except the zombie will bite me and I will become a zombie too! I think that would be hilarious. Well, just wanted to share!!
Well, while I’m at it, I’ll update again ... Haha.
Tory and I didn’t do too much of anything this past weekend. It was really nice to have some down time, although, now I need to do a crap ton of cleaning before Laura and Bryan come next weekend!!! Wahoo!! I can’t wait!! That should be a whole lot of fun!!!! :) I can’t wait to show them around where I’ve been living and working for the past 2 years!! Very exciting stuff! I think Sarah and Jeff might come around the same time too, but I don’t know their whole plan yet, so I’ll keep you guys updated!! Oh, well I forgot, we went to 900 Grayson for brunch on Saturday. Omg. One of the best breakfast places in Berkeley, in my opinion! I got the chicken and waffles dish. Mmmmm so freaking good. The chicken was so good, the breading was amazing. The coffee was super good too! Mmmm... I could go back right now! I’m sure we will go again soon!!
So, this weekend is gonna be a lot of cleaning!! Saturday night is 80’s dance party at a bar in the city! So, we’re definitely going to do that! I think we’ll go with some of tory’s friends, moose, emily, and a newcomer, zach! He just moved out here... Last night? Haha, he’s in med school and going to be living in the city! We all went to an 80s dance party back when we were in college, so it will be fun to all get together again for another version out here!! I can’t wait!!
Then I think Sunday, Tory is joining a soccer team!! So, I’m going to go and watch him play! I’m excited! I used to go watch him play when we were in college at the beginning of our relationship, so that will be fun to watch him play again! The league is 25 years and older, so... It would’ve been fun for me to join too, but I also think that I’m pretty bad at soccer, so maybe it’s for the best! :) hahaha.
Oh man! Tory and I watched Food, Inc. the other night on Netflix and it made us re-consider everything we do when it comes to grocery shopping/where we are eating, etc. it was a real eye opener! So, from now on, we’re going to try really hard (which is pretty easy out here) to buy local and organic meat and veggies. Well, Tory had the great idea of going to a farmer’s market last night after he picked me up from Bart! Oh man, it was so much fun, except for the fact that I was a gwump (grump) because I had a migrane and the sun was shining in my eye and there was an annoying recorder player who was bugging the crap out of me.. But other than that, it was awesome! Hahahaha. We ended up getting local grass fed beef, 2 bunches of carrots (they looked like bugs bunny could eat them!) some tomatoes, and a PINT of ice cream! Tory pointed out to me that it was ice cream from this place that always makes the “best of” ice cream places in the east bay and I think in the states! Here is the link: http://www.ici-icecream.com/index.html we got a mint chocolate cookie something. So good! And most of the time I don’t even like mint chocolate, so that says a lot!! Then after we went to the farmer’s market, we came home and went for a run! I’m trying to go when tory goes, although I’m not a very strong runner... Haha, but I’m trying! Then we cooked dinner together. Made some chicken breasts in the oven with olive oil and seasoning, some left over rice, and some green beans that we got at Berkeley bowl on Sunday!
Monday I made indian food! Mmm. It was really tasty. There is a really good simmer sauce that I get at Berkeley bowl! I noticed that target started to sell a tikka masalaa simmer sauce too, so I’ll let you guys know when I try it and if it’s any good! Made rice and then got some garlic naan from trader joe’s. Mmmm. It is probably the meal that I eat the most of that I make. I just love indian food! I bet y’all never thought I would say that! It is almost a problem! At least, I think tory is beginning to notice that it’s a problem... Hahah!
I think tonight we’re going to have ground beef tacos with the meat we got at the farmer’s market! I’m excited!!! Mmmmm. Should be mighty tasty. I might even cut up some peppers to put in the meat. I’m excited!! :) I don’t know about meals the rest of the week. I’m sure I’ll cook something tomorrow too.. Then Friday and Saturday are my days off from cooking (at least dinner). Hahaha.
I think I’m going to walk to an animal shelter on lunch today with two girls from work. That should be a lot of fun, hopefully we won’t walk away with a doggie!! Hahaha, or maybe that wouldn’t be so bad...
Well, this has gotten way too long. Sorry folks! Hope everyone is doing great!
Love and Miss you all,
Jenn

it's almost September!!??
Hey Everyone!
Sorry for the delay in a post... Again.. :) I hope you are all doing well. Everything over this way is going good, pretty much just same ol, same ol.
Hmmm, I don’t even know where to start! Not much has been going on, just a lot of work and some living! Tory and I were planning on going to Vegas this weekend, well sorta, he gave me a trip to Vegas for my birthday in May, for a trip to take in August, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. Sooo, that sucks, but is understandable. I think we might try to re-schedule for October? Tory and Scott got another job from Google, so they are really focused on that happening right now. I’m glad that Google came to them for another commercial spot. That sure says a lot! I’m really happy for them!
Last weekend Tory and I went to a day of a music festival that was happening here in San Francisco. It was a whole lot of fun, besides it being a little too crowded at some points and some people were just too drunk/on too many drugs, so that was sorta annoying. We got to see a lot of good bands though! We saw: OK Go, Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, The Roots, Girl Talk and Muse, just to name a few! We had a good time, but I don’t know if we would go again. I think I like Coachella a whole lot more. It’s also in Golden Gate Park, which is really hard to get to. Bart doesn’t take you all the way there, so we had to grab a cab, which took foreverrrr. Thankfully we were picked up by a father and his son in from LA going to the music festival as well. So not only did we get to split fare, we also got a ride! Wahoo!! There was also no in/out policy, so once you were in, you couldn’t leave. I think that’s why the festival became so crowded at one point. It was awful! So, ehh.. I don’t know if we’ll go again. I think we would have to live in the city to get it’s whole worth.
I think this weekend will be pretty mellow. Tory and I will probably meet up with his friends Moose (Trent) and Emily. They moved out here about 2 months ago, maybe even more now. They’re a really nice couple! Tory knows Moose from High School and he met Emily about the same time Tory and I met in undergrad, so that’s fun! Then, Saturday it’s Phil’s girlfriend, Geraldine, her birthday, so I think we’re going to go out in the city Saturday night to celebrate that! I think that should be a whole lot of fun. Going out in the city is always a good time, except you have to leave early to catch Bart back to the East Bay, so that’s always sorta lame... Oh well. I’m sure it will be a good time!! Then Sunday, I don’t think we have anything to do! I’ll probably do some cleaning... Exciting stuff! Laura and Bryan will be coming for a visit in a couple weeks, so I better start cleaning, now!!!
Tory and I have started a new tradition of going out to eat somewhere Saturday or Sunday mornings! That’s always a lot of fun and I think something that we both look forward to! 2 out of 5 or so places we’ve been to so far we can walk to from our house, so that’s extra exciting! I’m sure we’ll try a new place this weekend!
Work is a going... We have a new girl that bugs the crap out of me. Her contract just got extended, which is great for her and awful for me... She might be the end of me...
Well, I hope you guys all have a great weekend and that everything is going great for you!!!
Love and miss you all,
Jenn
