I have a break at work so I have decided to write in here. Great to hear from you all! I am so glad that everything is going well in Germany with Mike and Brooke and the girls! How exciting to start your lives there! I will definitely have to come visit before you all leave.

Everything is great in San Diego. I had a great weekend up in Vancouver with Mom, Dad and everyone up there. I got to see the local real estate of Vancouver and see Wicked which was amazing. I would have to say it is the best musical I have seen...meaning that I was obsessed with the music and I wasn't at all disappointed with how it actually turned out (like I was with Aida and Jekyll&Hyde). Thank you so much Mom and Dad! It was awesome!

I am now back to work and this week is turning out to be quite the busy one. I think I will definitely have a lot to do through the end of the year. We are revising an entire program that hasn't been edited at all for about 30 years (tons to do!) and in the middle of that we are doing some revisions to our money-maker program (L.E.T.) for a re-print of the materials...all pretty time consuming. Right now I have a break because I can input the changes faster than my bosses can write them so I am waiting for them to send me what they have done.

This weekend I am going to be headed up to Disneyland after work on Friday to spend the night and then run the Inaugural Disneyland 5K bright and early on Saturday morning. Should be a fun time and I am really excited to do it. You can look at the course here. I am running it with my friend Kristy and her sister. I will post pictures, I promise.

Not much else is going on. I am eagerly awaiting the new fall TV shows...The Office next Thursday and Lost on October 4th. There are a couple new shows that I think I am going to check out. One is "30 Rock" which has Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan from SNL along with Alec Baldwin and I think it is about a SNL-type show...the behind-the-scenes sorta. The other is on after that and is called "Twenty Good Years". John Lithgow and the dad from Arrested Development (i always forget his name) are in it as men that figure they have about 20 good years left in their life so they are going to make the most of it. Both shows are on NBC on Weds nights before Lost. So I think I am just going to set aside Weds as my TV night in general although my DVR does help in case I miss anything.

Can't wait to see Anne, Peter, and Andrew in a couple of weeks along with Mom and Dad! Love having any of you guys come visit me here! :) Anyway, I am back to work.

Love you all
