Birthday, Baby, Rob Bell and Feeling Famished.

(Matt makes funny faces in 90% of pictures I take)

Before getting sick, we celebrated Matt's 28th birthday. It was low-key, but we did our normal "Birthday Donut" tradition. Birthday donut started when I was working in radio through the end of college. I was out in random clubs until all hours doing remotes, and would come home exhausted. I was on my way home from Merced at 2am the early morning of Matt's b-day, and I stopped at a gas station for a snack and a red bull to keep me up for the drive home. I decided I'd grab Matt a donut and surprise him calling it "Birthday Donut". We do it every birthday now after midnight, It's fun! Although I wish it was "Birthday Danish" I'm not a big donut fan...

Tuesday, my good friend Sarah Yanagi went on a (much needed) trip to the beach leaving her adorable offspring, Micah, with Matt and I overnight. Micah is a very sweet, very busy little boy! I should mention that Micah loves Matt! In fact, the biggest "meltdowns" happened when Matt would walk out of the room, or leave for work. We played lots of hide-n-seek, "Chase Scout" which Scout actually loved until Micah started hitting him in the face with a book... :-) and watched 'Blues Clues" which just happens to be my favorite cartoon for little ones. Yesterday afternoon we went to a Gymboree class, and we both had fun! I will say that as soon as Sarah picked Micah up, I was ready for bed! Chasing a 1 year old is hard work! :-)

Matt and I are getting ready for a little Valentines trip to SF Sunday night. Not only are we spending time in one of our favorite places, but Monday night we're going to see Rob Bell's "Drops like stars" tour with Sarah and Aaron in SF. Excited! I'm glad because I'm feeling spiritually famished right now. We *really* need to find a new church, or at least a place to go until we find a "home". With Matt working every Sunday, that is going to make it harder, but we need to make it work!! For now, I'm reading "UnChristian" which is amazing, and I'm re-reading "Velvet Elvis". I have a stack of books waiting for me, but I keep going back to Velvet Elvis....

Anyway, now I'm feeling physically famished... Time for breakfast!
