Going once...Going twice...Sold

Wow, I am astounded at how many people are reading my blog. There must be two or three of you out there. This type of exposure is something that I an unaccustomed to. I am truly thankful. This week was of course full of fun and work. Saturday we helped our friends move into their new house in the morning. We are hoping to get their apartment soon, but are not holding our breath. California is a very expensive place to live. We are currently in a 1 bd 750sq. ft. apartment that is $1100 a month. That may seem like a lot but the alternative is buying a 600sq. ft. condo. down the street for $380,000 (not including HOA fees). what a scam. A real house in our area is at minimum $750,000. This is one of the main drawbacks to this area. The apartment we are trying to get is $13oo a month...what a deal.

At 1pm on sat., Brenda and I as well as a friend from work went to the beach. The boys went surfing and Brenda just sat around and looked good. It was a great day at about 80 at the beach and sunny as usual.

When we got back from the beach we went to the San Jose Christian School auction. This is unlike any school auction I have ever heard of. Tickets are $25. This fee covers all the appetizers, fellowship, and wine that you would want. Yes all the wine you can drink at a school auction. This is always one of the funnest school events that we go to during the year. The auctioneer looked like the Nanny 911 lady from TV (not that I watch it...oh ya...there are a lot of idiot parents out there and morons should be castrated and not told how to procreate(some of these idiots couldn't figure it out without being told)).

I guess that their were Russians there as well. This lady had one of those weirdo hats on with a hanging tassel on it. It made Brenda laugh out loud and draw a lot of attention.



Here is Myron and Andrea having a good time. They do not get to see each other very often, so they decided to hang out in the back row (presumably to cuddle and kiss, but I did not witness any of that). I was thankful that they were back there because they were nearest to the wine tasting (refill) area.

We did not get anything at the auction this year but a good time with all of our friends and meeting a lot of the parents. I often hear stories about these people from Brenda, but do not get to put a face to the name very often.

Ok, I look psycho in that picture.
The auction was a great time! We were sitting in the back (not to make out, although that would have been fun, JUST KIDDIN) to crack jokes with you and Brenda about crazy stuff happening.
Your blog is great by the way! The pictures and dialogue of the DR are great, as well as you and Brenda's journies (spelling?!)!!!

Hey guys,

That would be awesome if it works to take Drew and Amy's place...I'm assuming that's the apartment you're talking about. So I take it Harv wasn't the auctioneer this year? Either that or he's had some changes done that I'm not aware of;) We're really looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks...it's been to long!
