After months of flat, hard bread and pizza dough, I did it (well, not really me, mon pack might have guided me through every step). I had to share my joy.

reunited...
Bret got home at midnight on Friday from being in Pittsburgh all week. We decided to have a San Francisco extravaganza to celebrate his triumphant return. The extravaganza included a couple of things like Mexican wrestling masks and dynamo donuts (which are NOT good, do not be deceived by their fancy logo or their high rating on the internet, they have flavors like "pistachio lemon", "spicy chocolate", and "orange vanilla glaze" all of which sounded interesting to us, however they were a disappointment and we will stick to our Lee's for high quality donuts).We also walked through neighborhoods I had never been to, ate Mexican food after our disappointing donuts- please note the pic of Bret wrapping up our leftover donut in the Mexican restaurant because we of course couldnt throw it away, so I saved it in my purse, which reminds me, it's still in there.
We both also wore our horse attire, me in a horse dress, bret in a horse sweatshirt. I don't even know how we both have horse print clothing, but we should probably acquire more if we want to get weird. Actually the horse sweatshirt is a hand-me-down from Hudd, thank you hudd, that sweatshirt has brought joy into both of our lives.
It was 70 degrees and sunny
in January.
Although half disgusting, this little banana slug is kind of cute. We were tempted to bring him home, but after some deliberation we realized that our 900 square feet is already a little cramped with me, bret, and ted.

there might have been a sale on Special K...
I might have bought 35 boxes of it, came home and made it into a fort.
I know, I know
I've been a bad blogger. Sorry. I only say sorry because I hate when other people are bad bloggers. I went to Hailey's dance recital. I had NO idea how much I could love a straight faced, nervous little girl standing on a stage. That's all for now, stay tuned. I will be back with a vengeance. Well, not really, but I'll probably be blogging more.
Ho Ho Ho
There are a few things I really like about the holiday season. One of them is listening to this song on repeat, although semi depressing for a Christmas song, it is beautiful. I also REALLY enjoy when Bret and I exchange gifts. Here is a little sampling of things we have given to each other in years past:
2007
Bret for Whitney: a small branch like structure and an alarm clock
Whitney for Bret: socks and a gift certificate to a strange grocery store
2006
Bret for Whitney: a harmonica
Whitney for Bret: a cassette tape called "5 minute mysteries"
2005
We were broken up
2004
Bret for Whitney: a thermal shirt
Whitney for Bret: a pair of school shoes
The gifts Bret has given almost top the year that Lindsay gave me a frozen dessert cake for christmas (does anyone else remember Vienetta? I loved that stuff).
The picture is from Christmas 2007. This year our tree is the previously mentioned branch sculpture.

Thanksgiving Whirlwind
I wish I had pictures of Thanksgiving, but I don't. I was too busy jogging the turkey trot, loving Nevada City, chatting with my cousins and family, watching my Aunt and Uncle make a gourmet meal, and eating.
We spent the day at my cousins house in one of my favorite cities, ahem towns, in California. To see a not very good picture of Nevada City, click here.
Then we were off to Newport Beach to see this girl get married.
It was wonderful in every way. I have more pictures of this, but I don't look good in them, and who wants bad pictures of themselves posted on the internet? It turns out my home done hair cut doesn't look so good in pics. It was a whirlwind trip and we spent the night in three different locations in four days and drove for approximatly 22 hours. Our thanksgiving was wonderful though and over the course of the weekend I got to see some of the people I love most in this world.
