Super Post Update

Things have been hectic to say the least. Joe and I have a lot of blogging to catch up on. Because my MBA program was due to begin on July 31st, Joe and I went down to Orange County the weekend of July 18th to celebrate my brother's birthday. We had an awesome time with my family. We went shopping, played Attack Uno, went bowling (I bowled a dismal 41), and had yummy strawberry shortcake from Angel Maid. It was good to catch up with everyone before I have to hunker down for school.

The weekend of July 25th, Joe and I went down to San Luis Obispo with his family to visit Hearst's Castle. We all rented Ford Mustang convertibles and drove up the coast. Road trips are always fun because you get a chance to catch up with everyone while in the car. Hearst's Castle was impressive - the rooms were filled with invaluable works of art and relics of history. My favorite room was the indoor pool with the gold tiles. On the way back from Hearst's Castle, we stopped by the Madonna Inn for dinner and massive slices of cake. Needless to say, I was happy camper (I love cake!!). The rest of the trip consisted of star gazing and scenic drives along the coast.

And now, this brings us to the weekend of July 31st - a horrendously busy weekend! Joe and I decided to move into a larger apartment in our complex. We bit the bullet and signed a new lease for a 2 bedroom apartment. Unfortunately, we had to move by August 1st. Needless to say, things were stressful. I had class all weekend from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. In addition to class, I also had tons of homework and reading to do. Thank goodness for family and friends! Thanks to the Pulidos, Trans, and Gautum, Joe was able to paint and move all of our stuff in by August 1st. We can't thank you everyone enough!!! We'll post pictures of the new place once we get situated.
