well, howdy, folks!

we've been continuing to pack. i got several boxes shipped to the manix's farm. and tomorrow we will go to buy actual luggage so's we can get the stuff we need now and right when we get there--home. we even made the treck to my brother's to visit the baby and drop a car load off there. we got the kitties their kitty valium--just in case. we signed our outrageous lease, and sent a check. so i guess, come thursday, we might be ready to jump on a plane. we had the work dinner tonight. we went out with my two favorite people from work, matt and tim (and their honies) and another girl named manami. so i work monday and wednesday. then no more La foot. we had melissa and andy here wednesday night. they were on their way to get andy's dad. so it was nice to say good bye to them. we even went to the hot chip show on thursday with meg and forrest (our two favorite berkeley--ites). so we have had busy and fun times. we are continuing to eat out as much as possible in hopes that we will get sick of it, and not miss having great restaurants around. i think we are about done. ( but don't tell dust.) we have to just get a box for the rock band drums and mail them off ( we could not ship them before melissa and andy got here. they need it, too). other than that, i think we just have to put stuff in bags and go. not so bad. so it all seems real now, and i am ready to come home to my friends. below are just some pictures from the week. enjoy. next week, you could be on here!!


to ben's baby emma smiles now!



meg and forrest post amazing hot chip show!!
