Just a quick check-in.

I'm in the midst of week 3 of this summer quarter (only 6 weeks long). So, I am halfway done and starting to feel the stress and rush to not fall behind. I'm taking two classes.

The good news? I will definitely have my business degree and executive assistant certificate by Winter Quarter!

In other news, we've recently lost a family member. :( Jason's Great Aunt Carol passed away this month and we attended her funeral service 2 days ago. She was an absolutely wonderful woman and is already dearly missed by all of us.

Here is her obituary in the San Jose Mercury News: http://tinyurl.com/2u6zbn

I guess that's all I have to update at the moment. Until next time!

We met Mark Smith!!! (Smitty of San Jose Sharks fame!)

Yesterday (Saturday 7/7/7), Jason, Zak, Sarah, and I went to see Mark Smith's band, 'The Vinyl Trees' play at Borders in Santana Row. We'd never heard any of his music, so we weren't sure what to expect. I was VERY pleasantly surprised! It was only him playing (his other 2 band-mates couldn't make it), but he was great! Definitely good at multi-tasking. *lol* He played three digiredoos (SP!!), a harmonica, two guitars, a bass box thingy he tapped his foot on in place of drums, and he sang all the lyrics.





Admittedly, I was a bit (okay, okay, REALLY) star-struck. I've really been idolizing these hockey players lately! During the show I sat next to his girlfriend and her friends who seemed very nice. After the show, Smitty stuck around to sign autographs and take photos. I told him I'm a fan and that it was my first time hearing his music (and that I liked it.) We took a photo and he signed our CD booklet. He was super nice and appreciative that we came out to see him.

Happy 4th of July!

Jason & I had a great 4th of July. We went over to Zak & Sarah's in the early afternoon and ate delicious BBQ, went swimming, watched a movie, and just relaxed. Soooo nice!! Then we all headed down to Morgan Hill and picked up Mike and Ioana on the way. The fireworks were fun and there weren't TOO many people crowed in.
