• getting caught up

The summer seems to fly by! Part of June was spent teaching a web design class to middle schoolers for summer school and then part of July (okay...most) was spent vacationing in S.D. The Monday after we got back school started up again. It feels like you finally start to relax and catch your breath and then bam! time to get back into it. There's no easing into it either- one day you're on vacation, the next you're working 12 hours straight.

Before we left AZ we had dinner for my sister Sam's birthday (holy crap she's in high school now!) at The Keg. Yummy food and a fun time together:

Gina and Max were working on their house and getting the studio in the back more completed:
Master bathroom-

They basically gutted the entire thing, had to move their drain and shower head, and get a new shower pan. The shower's pretty much completed and usable, but the rest of the bathroom still has some work to get done.

The studio-

Here it's just the seams that have been taped. Now, the drywall has now been mudded/textured and we've begun painting. In order to get electricity over to the studio a trench was dug, wire was laid, and the trench was filled in. My dad came over and finished installing the a/c unit so we could actually get some work done in there. :)

In San Diego it seems like all we did was eat, eat, eat. (Not that I'm complaining!) Of all 21 days we were over there we only had 5 days of sun. So much for spending all our days at the beach!

Frosty's for the fam!

Original ice cream shop at The Grove in L.A.; it's been there over 100 years!

A stop at The Yogurt Mill is always a must when we're with Kelsey & Joe!

All things considered we did have a great time away! Went to Sea World, the bayside, rode bikes everywhere, and were just generally lazy!
