Another beautiful day and peaceful evening

I actually didn't start out my day that peaceful, but that's my fault because I was too busy having a good time last night at Outback Steakhouse and watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall again and of course drinking red wine.

But the night is beautiful the crickets are outside making noise at the most perfect level and it is slowly sprinkling and stopping, then sprinkling and stopping some more. Sometimes you can't even tell it's raining, sometimes the only way you can tell is when it hits our old school metal awning in the back. The temperature is just right so that you can have the windows open to listen to all the sounds and just the slightest coolness comes drifting in. A very beautiful way to enjoy the desert. And of course to top it all off there is music drifting out of a bedroom down the hall. And right now it's just right and matches the mood of this beautiful evening.

I had a very long skype video conference call with Jesse. It was rad. Thank God for the Internet. We caught up on all kinds of stuff and walked around our houses and showed them to each other! I mean how cool is that? How crazy is it that Jesse's been in Japan for so long? I miss him but I'm so stoked he's living the dream. And let me tell you, it makes visiting Japan just that much more enjoyable.

Today

Today has been the greatest day ever. I'm sitting in the bedroom across from my bedroom listening to the sound of crickets... but not live. :)

What else has happened... my first day of school (I missed one class!)

I rode the new Phoenix light rail for the first time. (home from school!)

Peeps showed up to make beautiful music

Hockey game

Obamanation!

I suppose I should be more poetic, but hey it's been a happy day.
