It's the last day of February.

We were not very good about posting this month. Sorry Yoonjin, Aaron and Amanda! (I don't think anyone else really reads our blog...)

Today Jeff went to see "No Country for Old Men" with his friend from seminary and I stayed home and ate a Filet-O-Fish. Yum yum! Then, I decided that I should put my new Hello Kitty sewing machine to use (Thanks Yoonjin, Rosy and Janice!!!) and did some sewing.

Over the holidays, I wanted to be crafty (the good, glue and fabric kind, not the evil, manipulating and scheming kind) and made some tote bags and purses that I gave to my bestest friends. So, I thought that I could do a quick tote bag for my sister (her birthday's on March 7th.) But, like most other skill-based things, because it has been quite a while since I've sewn anything, it took me a lot longer than I thought. 1.526 hours longer to be exact. 

But here it is! It's actually black with these weird blue and green designs. And the lining is dark brown, which doesn't sound like it'd look good, but I like it.

My favorite part about it is the orange pocket on the inside. I love orange! (I hope Karen does too...)

I got a new computer!

Thanks to my generous family who gave me Apple gift cards and the fact that we were able to sell our old iBook for $500, I was able to purchase a brand new MacBook for a little less than $300.

Here are the official unpacking photos I'm sure you're dying to see:

Anyone else love Apple?

We're not so interesting.

I've been trying to think of what to write on our blog all week, but it's been hard to come up with anything interesting. Our lives here in Escondido are pretty mundane-- with me working and teaching and reading Roald Dahl and Shakespeare, and Jeff studying and going to school and taking care of his pregnant wife.

But occasionally, like during this past week, we have some of our friends over and it's great fun. Here are our friends:

Aren't they cute? We love the Peets! Not only do they eat Korean BBQ with us and listen to good music, they are also fellow "kids" in our small group (the average age of adults in our group is around 50) and have been so gracious and encouraging as we've been adjusting to life in Escondido. 

So, while we're not so interesting, we're hoping that the Peets will rub off on us some and we'll be able to live it up in Escondido and have lots to post about in the days and months to come! You can see that it's already working on Jeff:

We voted!

Look! It's Kathy and I with our ballots!

Kathy was sort of disappointed, though. She wanted to go to the polling place. It was her first time voting (!!!) and she wanted an "I Voted" sticker. If anyone wants to donate one to her, I am sure it would be a welcome surprise.

She told me I couldn't tell you who we voted for, so I won't. 

Happy Super Tuesday everyone!
