why can't summer last forever?

welp, i finished up my 8-week clinical affiliation at the palo alto VA friday, august 28th and began my last semester [!!!] of classes the following monday... somewhere between that friday and monday, the summer disappeared. where did it go? how can i get it back (as soon as possible please)? oh well, i guess there's always next year. here are a few pictures to celebrate the random goodness of the 2009 summer...

enjoying the summer breeze in santa cruz with our next-door neighbors, jessie & jameson, and their friend daisy.

7.28.09... otherwise known as our 2nd anniversary... have we really been married for 2 years? my how the time flies...

we celebrated our annivesary fo-real the following friday with a beyond scrumptious dinner at our favorite restaurant, town (thanks to mom & dad for treating us!)

we took tjuta to the beach... and now he hates us.

we biked through the city and came across a wind-surfing competition going on in the bay... paul was super jeal and wished he knew how to wind-surf immediately. soon enough, love.

paul tried to jump into my arms while gazing at the 'painted ladies' in sf.

after my photo-shoot in front of a random white wall in sf...

at vishal & sarah's vow renewal to celebrate their 2nd anniversary!

oh summmer, get back here.

anxiously awaiting sunshine daydream...

hey folks! i promised a timely post, but alas, i have again failed at blogging appropriately. but as i sit here with a delish cup-o-joe with the beautiful california morning peeking through the blinds, it might just be the perfect time to talk about our fantastic trip to denver, co.

sarah, paul's sister, and her husband charles live in denver and are expecting a baby boy sometime around november 7th! whoo hoo! could we be anymore excited? we love being uncle paul and aunt megan and are so pumped to meet the newest member of our family this fall! we ventured out to denver in late july to help the lovely schroeders get the baby's room ready and throw a 'welcome' party to welcome them into their new home and prepare to welcome baby boy schroeder. we fondly call him 'sunshine daydream' ever since sarah had a dream very early in her pregnancy (she has the absolute best dreams) that that's the name they decided on... perf!

enjoy some of the pictures from the trip! we really wish we lived closer to these guys... life would be so much more smiley and fantabulous!

the beautiful schoeders + 1!

sarah and her de-licious eclair cake... oooo, a mobley special!

kick, sd, kick!

paul's friend, liz, came to visit! they met back in 2004 while both studying abroad in australia. she's such a great friend and lives in denver now so i was finally able to meet her!

before we began the re-do... the walls were [badly] painted purple and had a green ceiling (it actually works well, so we kept it!)

after painting the walls sunshine daydream blue... here come the bright read stripes!

had to put in a gorgeous belly shot of the most beautiful pregnant lady there ever was! can i please look this good when the time comes?

10 minutes before we needed to be out the door to the airport... finished! (we left the trim and closet to paint for my amazing parents-in-law, peggy & david... they came out to visit just a few weeks later)

whoo hoo! best time ever! i love my sarah!!!
