It's official!

I got my diploma in the mail today:


Just two days shy of seven (yes, 7) years since I graduated with my Bachelors degree.

Our wedding

Phil and I are happy to announce that we (finally) got married last month.


We semi-eloped; we got married here in La Jolla, and only a few close friends came. We will be having a "big" wedding next year on the same day - something more traditional, will all the family and friends we can fit in the church.

We had a lovely dinner at Piatti's afterward, and our very, very delicious cake was from the French Gourmet in PB. We "mini-mooned" at the La Jolla Shores Hotel, which was really lovely.




I can't tell you how perfect the day was. Libby came out and we had a mini spa day, and then we went to the hotel and chilled out with the rest of the ladies before the ceremony. The weather and lighting were perfect, and I couldn't have imagined it any better. It was amazing! Our friend Brian married us, Libby stood up with me and Ian stood up with Phil. Jo and Bjoern did the photos and video (and did them very brilliantly). Barry did a beautiful reading. It really was perfect. Truly the fairy tale wedding of my dreams :)

Who doesn't love bubbles??



It was so romantic!


Happily ever after...

An Aunt again!

Spencer Brandon Aborn made his debut on Saturday, May 10. He weight just over 8 pounds and is 21 inches long! He has red hair like his brother :) I can't wait to meet him!

The streak continues!

I thought I left all my unfortunate incidents behind when I left Texas. Not so, apparently. It turns out that the "less than successful" bike ride left me with two fractures - a hairline fracture in my second metatarsal and a stress fraction in my third metatarsal. Sigh. Apparently it takes a really long time for these types of fractures to heal, and the more I use my foot, the longer it will take. SIGH.
