Last week my friend Dan (from Somers) called saying that he would be in town for business on Thursday and Friday. He travels all over the country for work, and FINALLY they sent him to San Jose, yeah! Friday afternoon, Alanna and I picked Dan up downtown and went to Santana Row. I introduced him to pearl tea drinks and then we chatted and watched Alanna have fun on the play structure. We headed back to our place for dinner. It was really great getting to visit and catch up.


Yesterday afternoon Courtney and Aaron came down to visit. We always have such a great time with them. We went for a short walk around the neighborhood, ate a yummy dinner (homemade mac n' cheese), and drank delicious wine. What could be better?! Aaron even taught Alanna her first Japanese word, "yatta," which means "all right!"

It's hard to believe that we're off to the big apple at the end of the week. I'm excited to see family and friends. Let's just hope the plane ride goes smoothly!
