Opening Night



Tuesday was awesome. We got two tickets to the Warriors/Jazz game on opening night and got there early to see introductions and all that other show. During the game there was a 5.6 earthquake that scared a lot of people including ourselves. We were sitting in the upper seats and the arena was shaking pretty good and everyone noticed but no one freaked out. Molly and I were cheering pretty loud from the second quarter on when the Jazz pulled away and ruined the Warriors opening night. It was a fun game to go to and definitely wont be the last.

Our new place in Alameda


We moved to Alameda, CA a city west of Oakland and directly across the bay from San Francisco. We owe Anne and Mike for introducing us to Alameda. The cool thing about our town is that it is an island. Our church is just 3 blocks away, and there is a shore where people windsurf and kayak. One weekend we drove down to Half Moon Bay with Anne and Mike to check out the beaches, and pumpkin patches.

Chile Trip


I figured out how to post a slideshow, thanks Jos. Here are a few of our pictures from fun in Chile.

A Little Recap

After working long and hard all summer in Renton, WA for Orkin Pest Control we took a trip to Southern Chile. Kc served in the Concepcion South mission during 2002-2004, so he really hadn't been gone too long. We flew into Santiago and enjoyed the sights before we started our rental car trek stretching from Santiago to Pucon. At the end of the trip we had perfectly used all of our pesos, and used up all of the gas just in time to walk into the airport. We threw the rental car keys into a little lock box and were so excited to get back to the states. Little did we know our flight would be taking off exactly 28 hours from the time we showed up. We first freaked out and then had to get a taxi to drive us back to Santiago, stay in a hostel, and wait until the next night to leave. In the taxi ride Kc's wallet fell out unknowingly and the guy drove off with it. Checking-in to the hostel we realized he had lost it. Not a good thing to find out after just getting punk'd at the airport. Ten minutes later the taxi car driver drove back up and returned Kc's wallet. It was a miracle- the little Chilean honest Abe said he didn't need a wallet that had absolutely no money in it.

Peer Pressure

After nearly two years of sisters and friends telling me to create a blog I have finally done it. I will warn you ahead of time that writing has never been my bag, but at least now you will be able to see what Kc and I are up to.
