the best weekend

i have to make it known to everyone that dp and i had such a nice weekend filled with wonderful conversation and company... and the nice part about it is that most of our original plans fell through! friday we visited our nearby town square and had yummy greek food. the atmosphere was casual and lively, which reminded of madrid. sat we got to spend time at the house accomplishing odds and ends, and i cleaned the whole house (geez!) that evening we went to stone brewing company, which btw for those that live here, it is a must go! we had patio seating, enjoyed meals that we typically don't make, and again, the atmosphere was lively, casual, and the scenery was beautiful. then yesterday- sunday- we went to church, had lunch and hung out with our friends for the whole day, then went to a dinner date with my friend and her husband. i know this may sound simple, and the norm, and for us, it usually is, but since we haven't had such a filled weekend like this with others and ourselves out and about in san diego, it was a joy to have it back since we've been on this busy house journey. thank you to the couples/families we spent time with! we had so much fun. it definitely helps me prepare for the next work week ahead.

how green can we go?

and the answer is: pretty far! dp is discovering many assets of himself... the latest being a "green"-driven guy. being "green" means doing things that will help the environment and be less wasteful. so, here is the growing list of dp's green endeavors aside from the general recycling:
- recycling gray water
- rain water collector bin
- compost bin
- lead-free hoses

6 years... wow

this past sat (8/6/11) was our 6 years since we met one another! yes, we celebrate such occasions. it was nice; dp and i made some kebobs (for the first time), just hung out, and star gazed in our back yard. that was so fun and humbling.
