Catch Up

Okay, I am determined to catch up on our blog so that it isnt so hard jump on and do a quick update. This time around I am REALLY going to try hard to keep up with it.
Quick overview of what we have been doing since Portland (see below post). Things have been busy for us. We have moved to Pasadena, which has been a great change for us! We love being able to walk everywhere! (Trader Joes is three blocks one way and Target is two blocks the other, so I am a happy camper!) Pictures will come later.
Shannon, Kevin, and Myles live in walking distance as well so we have been able to spend a little more time with them which
has been fun.
We celebrated Joey's birthday by going to the Laguna Art Museum to experience the WOW (world of warcraft) exhibit. Thankfully Dan came up for the weekend to help us move and to join us for the museum so that Joey would have someone else who knew what they were looking at :)...thanks Dan!
Joey shares his birthday week with his sister Joanna, so we went out to celebrate her 21st birthday with the family at Yardhouse.

The WHOLE Higerd family was out visiting California for a few days and we were happily able to spend some time with them while they were here. We joined them at APU for a football game (Joey's first APU football game at APU ever) and then stole Mari and Gabe away for the night to come stay at our apartment. It was so much fun to be able to catch up with the two of them and to see the family back together again!
And, finally we headed up North for the weekend to see Joey's family and spend some time with friends (and of course Max). It was our first time visiting since Jim and Renee sold their house, so we joined them in their new apartment! We were able to connect with a lot of friends while we were in town and had a great time with everyone.
While we were in town, we headed to San Francisco to Warlock Tattoos to see Joey's friend Carlos, and he did a really good job with the tattoo that Joey has been anxiously awaiting. (I wasnt quite sure how a duck head would look on his thigh, but Carlos worked his magic and made it happen).

...okay, i believe that we are now up to date. Promise you wont have to wait as long next time!
