catch up!

Work has consumed my life a bit and I always manage to fall off the face of the earth when I'm working so I apologize to my 3 followers for not keeping up :) But life in LA isn't something I should complain about. The weather in Santa Monica is amazing, you can't beat the view, the surfing is awesome, and the celebrity sightings aren't so bad. So far on the checklist we have Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Tom Ford, Suzanne Summers, Martin Short, Jon Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Selma Hayak, David Dechoveney (or however you spell that), and most importantly....Patty from "Millionaire Matchmaker". They've only managed to remind me that I probably work twice as hard (well at least twice as hard as Martin Short) and make about 1/30th salary. Yikes. LA is a scene of it's own.

I had a good break in MI though. Traveled home for the 4th and met my old roommates, Alison and Suz, in Charlevoix for a weekend of fun in the sun. They dropped me off in Roscommon, MI on the way back down to Detroit and I managed to spend a good couple days with the Miner & Lafferty familes. By the time I made my way to Brighton, the neighborhood block was ready to party. We had a blast over at the Carlson's and managed to stay up till sunrise talking and drinking about nothing of importance. I miss home.

Now I'm back in LA and back in the grind. I'll be back in Boulder come September and can't wait to catch up on all the summer fun. I owe that city about 15 hikes.

Other than that, life is same old same old. Looking forward to the summer weddings ahead and shenanigans that are bound to follow...
