Good Times in LA
We flew into Los Angeles on April 27th. Sebastien was there long enough to buy an IPAD and then boarded another flight to France. I wanted to spend some time with my girl Alison but will fly out, hopefully, May 10th to meet Sebastien in France.
Lucky for me I got to experience May Day at [...]
From Arizona to Australia: The Beginning of Our Trip
On November 1st, we arrived at my mom’s friend Jan’s house. That evening we went out to dinner in Gilbert and enjoyed some creme brulee. Ummm. The next day, Sebastien did some work and I ran errands. Mitch (my car) got a good cleaning and I repacked for the 15th time. In the afternoon we [...]

On October 5th, Sebastien popped the big question! He had texted me earlier that day saying that he was craving sushi and wanted to go to our usual sushi place (Umi Sushi). This was not unusual so when I got home from work we went to have dinner.
When we returned from dinner I laid down [...]
Tammy’s Wedding in San Fran

Chicago

The woman is amazing and still travels around the country singing in her chorus group, Sweet Adelines. After a short visit [...]
