The Cahill's

Okay, a few pics from CA – we’ve been having so much fun I’ve hardly had time to post!

We made a friend – sort of – on the wharf in Santa Cruz; every step we took towards him, he moved one away. I think he’s giving us the evil eye.

We also got to watch some sea lions; two were fighting and one pushed the other off of the dock – this one was the big daddy, no one would challenge him, he just sat there looking buff (like Brian )

Our two month anniversary was just yesterday and we celebrated by going to San Francisco and seeing the golden gate bridge!

We also saw Alcatraz! I’ll keep this place in mind for our one year anniversary – maybe a permanent stop for Brian.

One morning Brian and I hiked to the top of Mt. Hermon to watch the Sunrise.

And here is the little path that leads to our cabin – I think it looks like something out of Myst.

Brian came up with this during a deep sipirtual discussion.

The wording says: When Jabez asked for his bounderies to expand it had nothing to do with spirituality and everything to do with self-gratification.
 “…they shall be fat and flourishing” Ps. 92:13-14

Pride goeth before a fall….or a fire.
This morning as we were jogging, Brian and I were discussing various couples interaction at the Sunday school we had attended yesterday. We were on the topic of making jokes at your spouses expense and I said something about how it wouldn’t bother me if Brian made a joke about my cooking because I knew how much he liked it and I felt very confident in my abilities.
  This afternoon I was cooking dinner for Brian; his favorite, chicken fried steak. Trying to manage several different items at once I let the oil for frying heat up real good and it started smoking. Next thing I knew the fire alarms in the entire dorm are going off. Great. I sheepishly call Brian up at work.
Brian: “hello my love!”
hi Brian…, um….this is sort of embarrassing.”
(hears the noise in the background) “ah, the fire alarms are going off?”
“um, yeah…but I didn’t even burn anything!”
“you want me to come turn them off?”
“you can do that? (thinks: my hero!) oh, but hasn’t it alerted other people?”
“well yes, it calls the front desk and a few other people”
(great, now we’ll have to put up with wise cracks about eating in the dining hall tonight)
Brian: “don’t worry, it only tells which dorm had the alarm, not which apartment it generated from”
“Um, Brian, we’re the only ones living in the dorm”
“oh yeah….well, I’ll swing by and shut them off”
“thank you”
