another couple married
congrats to enoch & imelda!
rest of my pics from enoch & imelda's wedding
probably one of the nicest weddings i've ever been to, not only because it was super-fancy (think top floor of fairmont hotel in SF), but because it was evident that they wanted to give all the glory to God, in everything they did. probably the fanciest wedding i've been to, even on top of the wedding i went to at ritz-carlton in half moon bay.
i guess o & jono's wedding in june was the kickoff to almost one wedding/month for the rest of the year. and i thought this year was slowing down. guess not. next up: good ol' petey in SD. looking forward to the "would you rather" questions with alinna on the drive down!
p.s. cal opens its football season against tennessee on saturday. go bears! i hope espn uses HD cameras, that'd be sweet to watch on ESPN HD.

we're back!
chicago was lots of fun! probably one of my favorite cities to visit, and i definitely recommend everyone to make a trip when you can. and if you do, definitely stay at the hotel we stayed at. it was the most convenient place you could imagine. every el train has a stop literally right outside the hotel, and if you know enough to ask for a large room ahead of time, you get huge rooms with two bathrooms! plus, the lobby is absolutely gorgeous, and it's the oldest running hotel in the country. we couldn't ask for more.
anyway, enough talk... onto what people probably want. pictures!
pics of our room at palmer house hilton. in the second pic, the two bathrooms are on the door on the far right & the door on the far left.
we ate at giordano's the first night. besides the crust, i actually think zachary's is much better.
we met up with eric on sunday, after getting lost trying to get to the church. lesson learned: follow the directions given to you. joy & i noticed that there was an el stop closer to the location of the church, so we just decided to get off there. and proceeded to get lost and discovered that the map was not to scale, and ended up having to walk a while to finally get to the church.
and no, we didn't go sailing. and we didn't die. :)
at the bean in millenium park. you can find the three of us?
eric talking on a pink razr :)
sunday night, we ate at weber grill, based on recommendation from alex. YUM. definitely go there if you're ever in chicago! they grill all their meat on huge weber grills, just like the one you'd have in your backyard. delicious.
we went to the hancock tower after dinner, and headed up to the signature lounge on the 95th floor. awesome views.
monday morning, we went on the chicago architecture foundation river cruise. it was really neat, very informative, and gives you a unique view of all the different buildlings around the city.
everytime i saw this buildling, the clock part reminded me of pacbell park.
me & joy on the boat tour with the sears tower in the background.
we went to art institute on monday - it was huge, and we didn't have time to go through everything. we spent a good deal of time in the miniature room area. they had all these minitaures of different rooms of different areas in history (ie "dining room in Pennsylvania, 1875." etc). there was so much detail in every single room - it was so much fun to look at. this one was of a living room in california circa 1930s.
a picture of american gothic, one of the most-spoofed pictures around.
eating a chicago dog before the cubs game!
so in the end, we ended up getting tickets to both a cubs game & wicked. we got cubs tickets on ebay for pretty good seats for below face value (thank goodness the cubs suck.) wrigley field was so much fun... it has this feeling of intimacy that you miss at other baseball parks.
we went to the field museum on tuesday, where we spent most of the afternoon. lots of cool exhibits, and we didn't even get to visit everything we wanted to. they had a special king tut exhibit, which was pretty cool.
this is sue, the most complete dinosaur t-rex fossil in the world.
hrm... something seems out of place in this exhibit of africa.
went to visit buckingham fountain & grant park afterwards...
love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage...
me & joy at trattoria no. 10 before seeing wicked.
and last, but not least, the lobby of our hotel from the mezzanine. breath-taking, and our tour book even recommended to visit the lobby even if you weren't staying there.
phew. that was long. lots more pics on my smugmug!
chicago pics
i definitely recommend a visit to the windy city!

frustrated
i have never been so frustrated in my life as i have been over the past year and a half over my knee. i feel like i have hit an impasse, where going to the doctor does no good, and i'm stuck in a vicious downward cycle of surgeries, maxing out on PT, living in pain for the rest of the year, waiting for my PT sessions to renew, and then starting the cycle all over in the new year... and it sure seems like it's going to happen again this year.
i went to the doctor again this morning, and he still doesn't know what to do. every time i go there, he makes a new comment, this time being "ahh... here's my problem child." again, for the hundredth time, was seen by someone i've never seen before first. it was a pretty pointless visit, he said they were going to appeal to my health insurance company for more PT coverage. i was like ummm... didn't you guys say you were going to do that last time? he said, oh i think he (medical assistant) went on vacation, so i'm not sure if it got done.
okay, thanks. and that was the entire visit. they're going to write an appeal and send it to my health insurance. which, really, was supposed to happen last time.
my doctor still can't figure out what's wrong - he said my acl looks fine in the MRI. the thing is... i've never complained about problems with my ACL or lack of stability in the knee. my problem is the pain under and all around my knee cap. he's still thinking about doing another procedure in my knee since my knee cap seems to be much tighter in my right knee, but isn't sure whether or not to do it since my body seems to love to grow scar tissue and going back in isn't going to help with that problem.
i've almost resigned myself to cope with the fact that i just may live in pain for the rest of my life. to tell myself to deal with my inability to do anything physical besides the bike and precor at the gym (in pain) and my knee exercises (in pain).
sigh. when i start to think about it too much, i try to remind myself that my problems are nothing compared to other people's around the world. there is a lot more suffering going on than just my little problem with pain in my knee. that, and God will not give me more than what i can handle... and that He has a reason for everything. it's just so much easier to say in my head than to really understand in my heart, especially when i can't clearly understand or see His purpose. and i know that God doesn't always reveal everything to us, but dangit, it'd be so much easier if He did! :)
so, i'm pretty much stuck. the doctors want to try to help me, but don't know what to do and can't figure out what's wrong with me. i don't have insurance coverage for PT so they can't even do some exercises/tests to see if certain things help (which would indicate that a particular surgery would help). if i have another surgery, i'll have to wait until next year, when, again, i will be limited to 20 sessions of PT. i don't know what to do anymore... :(
p.s. yay for benji! i'm not sure i would consider dancing for celine dion a prize, but yay anyway! although, i have to admit, travis is definitely the best dancer.

wrigley field or wicked?
wow, it's a good thing i'm taking a couple of days off next week. got the following email from payroll today:
Has been met or you are approaching the maximum accrual balance of 280 hours. Please review your pay stub at http://xxxxxx for the exact balance and request PTO to avoid loosing accrual hours.
so we wanted to watch a cubs game at wrigley field as well as wicked... but unfortunately, the only nights either have tickets left are on the same night! boo! and ebay and other ticket venues for other nights are SUPER expensive. so which should we do... cubs game or wicked? seats available for both are not that great - $40 GA bleacher seats for cubs, or $55 balcony (front balcony at least) for wicked.

traveling on saturday may be painful. our flight is actually at 6:20 in the morning... does that mean we have to get to the airport by 4:20am? good gravy!
my brother flew to london on thursday, the day they hightened all the security. it sucks for those people, because they didn't know about it before getting to the airport, so they were forced to throw away a lot of stuff. since he was flying to london, not only was he not allowed to bring any electronics, or even carry-ons (not even a purse for girls, or shoulder bag or anything for guys... just their wallets), but his flight got delayed for more than 7 hours. so he was stuck in the airport with nothing but a wallet for more than 10 hours (got to the airport 3 hrs early). horrible!
by the way, i refuse to let them to take away my chapstick. i cannot survive without it! i am going to find a way to sneak it in. maybe tape it to my body or something. i can just see the headlines... "girl arrested for sneaking chapstick on plane." ok, i'll probably just stick it in my pocket when i walk through the security lines. they're not depriving me of my chapstick!
so people already think we're crazy that we're letting eric be our tour guide. so the other day, i was im'ing with him, and he asked if we wanted to go sailing. i thought that might be kind of fun, so i asked him who would take us. he said, "me." i said, no, i mean who would be sailing the boat? he said, "me."
...i said...
NO THANK YOU! yes, people, even i have boundaries.

chicago or bust!
so when i said i need to take PTO, i really did. so i just booked a trip yesterday to chicago for an extended weekend next weekend (ok, more than extended weekend, i took 4 days off). yay! joy & i got a pretty good last-minute deal. and we'll have eric as a tour guide for part of the time, even though olivia thinks we're crazy to use eric as a tour guide. (i can just imagine it now... he gets us lost and takes us to the ghetto and makes up some story along the way...)
tomorrow i have to be at stanford at 7am for my MRI, so i have to leave my house by 6:40am. omg that is EARLY! i should have just scheduled the MRI at the place i've been going to for all my previous MRIs - it's an open machine (so not a claustrophobic tube) and they always have appointments available at all hours. it's just... last time, my MRI got lost, and i had to do a mad chase to hunt it down before my doctor appointment. and i'm going to have to sign my life away again since they're injecting the dye in me again.
by the way, i'm excited for the upcoming football season. lots of hype around cal this year, and hopefully they won't disappoint. go bears! and, uh, go niners, even if you and your management suck! :)

spirit west coast
many thanks to amy, who totally got us the hookups to spirit west coast. though jean, jenie, & i went to volunteer, it turns out they didn't need our service. so instead, we got free entrance, free parking pass to park in the lot right next to the stage, free VIP staff seating... even free food! amy, you rock!
you know you're getting old when you ask for earplugs at a concert. but in our defense, we were literally right next to the humungous speakers. like we were seriously the closest people to the speakers. and it was LOUD. and i took video, but the sound didn't turn out well becuase it was actually too loud. but we got to see the end of buildling 429, matt redman, and david crowder in concert, as well as george huff (i think one of the finalists for a season of american idol) & a q&a session with barlow girls. a little bummed we missed casting crowns, who were on friday night. we left before newsboys came on since i didn't want to drive so far back so late.
while at spirit west coast, we met a new friend. his name is:
jean, jenie, me, and amy found bob the tomato:
matt redman
david crowder (who's fun to watch in concert - this is the second time i've seen him this year)
look at the drastic difference between the two. the top belongs to our newfound friend georgia, the bottom (if you can even see it, it kind of blends in with the sand ;)) belongs to jean.
video of david crowder. again, audio isn't that great in the video when it's really loud, because it's too loud for my camera to handle.
uploaded more videos at youtube, the rest of my spirit west coast pictures are here.
i'm getting dangerously close to our vacation accrual max of 35 days. i NEED to take days off! i've already taken 5 weeks off within the last year and a half, although more than 2 weeks of that have been for all my surgeries. time for some last minute vacations!

ten simple pleasures
i've been inhaling rubber cement all night for a missions committee project maria asked me to do. if you think you're a procrastinator... maria asked me to do this all the way back in march. when does she need it by? this sunday. how many times did she remind me/ask me about its status? like at least once a month. when did i start working on it? yesterday. but it's almost done!
tagged by chris...
10 simple pleasures i love (in no particular order):
10. sunday night, when we get a monday off from work. it's like another friday night!
9. reading in bed. unless i'm totally wiped out, i always read in bed before i go to sleep.
8. curling up on a couch & watching a movie with a hot drink when it's raining (hard) outside.
7. playing worship songs on the piano and/or guitar. i could do it for hours (at least on piano - i don't play guitar often enough now, so my fingers start to hurt afer playing on the guitar for a little bit.) i feel like i'm in a totally different world, completely carefree, when i sit down and start playing.
6. finding money in my pocket. it feels like free money, even if it's really not. :)
5. reconnecting & talking for hours with old friends.
4. taking a walk to clear my mind or to pray on a perfect northern california day.
3. hosting people to watch lost & 24 at my house every week. it's so much more fun to watch with people. :)
2. playing with my friends' babies.
1. a saturday with no plans/events/church activities/weddings/etc. they are so rare & few in between, that all i can think of the entire day is how i have no plans and free to do whatever i want.
wow, that list was a lot easier to come up with than i imagined. God blesses us with lots of simple pleasures :)
i only tag one person because he refuses to post on his blog unless someone tags him with a survey.
