Anniversary #2

Yesterday, also known as St. Patrick's Day :) , was our two year wedding anniversary. Our actual celebration took place on Saturday night; we went to dinner in Coronado and saw a play there as well. It was a beautiful night and it was great to do something different. We exchanged our gifts that night too and Sam spoiled me with everything that I had "mentioned" to him. My gift to him was one hour in a private plane (with a pilot). He'll be doing that this Sunday at 11:00am so keep him in your prayers. :) He'll fly all over the county and I'd imagine that he'll see some cool views of downtown and the beaches. The pilot told me that he'll even get to fly the plane! Scary! Once, again, I promise I'll post pictures soon.

Another fun piece of news is that Sam started his new job on Monday. So far so good...he's enjoying it. Currently the office is located about 15-20 minutes north of where we are but he found out yesterday that they are moving everyone to another location by January for sure. That's good news for us because the other location is maybe 5 minutes from where we live and no freeways are involved.

I was offered an opportunity to finish out the school year at an awesome private school but unfortunately it looks like I'm going to have to pass. School's out in June and I'd have no job if I took it. It's a bummer but I'm still hopeful for next year.

I think that's it for us for now. We'll keep you posted!

Happy spring! :)

Update

Hi all! So I realize that it's been about a month since we've posted...sorry! I'm going to do a quick update and I'll post pictures soon. Let's see...

-middle of January....we went rollerblading along the beach...it was a beautiful day...tons of fun
-first week of February...Karl and Lacey came to visit us. It poured for some of the time but it didn't ruin their trip one bit. We had a really good time checking out things around town, overeating and just hanging out.
-February 10th...Sam gets into a minor car accident. You can ask him for the story but to sum it up, he got rear-ended. The car was in the shop until yesterday and looks like new again. By the way, Sam was fine. :)
-Valentine's Day...well, this year we actually got to do something because I did not fall and break my teeth! Our bible study hosts, Paul and Elaine, had a party at their house. It was beautiful! We ate and played games. Sam and I won one of the games.
-Sam's friend Todd was in town for a day so we took him to Taco Wednesday. If you're ever down here on a Wednesday, we'll take you. We go to a restaurant right on the beach and have lobster tacos for $1.50. They're soooooo good...we go about every other week.
-This past Tuesday....Chris Tomlin concert at our church. We went with our friends Nick and Autumn and it was awesome!
-Wednesday....BIG NEWS....Sam accepted a job at Ashford University. He will be an enrollment advisor and he starts March 16th. We are BEYOND excited!!! The real blessing is that they will pay for him to finish his BA and they'll pay for 80% of my masters. We'll keep you posted on how his training goes, etc.
-Tonight...I'm hosting recipe club at our place. I started to do this in Fresno and decided it would be fun to do it here. Basically, the person who hosts makes the main dish and everyone else brings something different. Then, you exchange recipes and eat! Sam will be hanging out with the guys at one of the guy's house. Should be fun...

We have some pictures to post so I'll try to do that sooner rather than later.

Have a great weekend! (did I mention I have to work Saturdays???)
