A Great Escape

Saturday evening after a crazy day at work Jonah and I needed to take a little break. We got in the car, made a quick stop at the store for some rotisserie chicken and french bread, and headed up to Morro Rock to catch the sunset. We were worried we might not make it in time but as you can see we got quite a show...

Morro Rock as we approached it in the car.

The sky was beautiful, the air smelled wonderful, and the night was peaceful as we were serenaded by crickets.

I didn't have a tripod so here is my best attempt to catch the city lights without one...

It was so relaxing and wonderful to be up in the mountains. We have both spent a good deal of time living in the mountains in the past and it always makes our hearts happy to be up there.

Good and the Bad

Due to a lack of fence around our yard we've had to keep Sahani tied up or inside the house if we're there. He's chewed through or slipped out of his collar and leashes multiple times so we made the hard decision to give him away. We gave him to our friend Tiffany, who took care of him while we were on the bike trip. She will provide him with lots of love, more room to be a dog, and other dogs to play with. Even though it's a better situation for him, we were sad to have him go.

However, since we no longer have a dog to trample plants we decided to spruce up our yard a bit.

Planting new flowers!

We had fun working in the dirt together and felt a sense of accoplishment with how it turned out. There's still more work to be done but it's looking better.

It's been fun using wedding gifts for the first time over the past few weeks in our new house! The food processor was broken in with some salsa!
