Lately

We haven't been doing much lately, just trying to survive.  We are excited for April 15 when works slows down a bit for Matt.  Until then, our weekends are precious and go by way too quickly!  Here are just a few pics from our weekends. 


In addition to work, school for me has been hectic.  Cleaning is a never ending cycle.  I clean and by morning the house looks like this, often worse.  Usually there will be thread and fabric scraps all over the floor.  Poor Matt.



When I leave school at night I can see Matt's office on the way to the subway station. The sad part is I know he will be there for a few more hours until he comes home (KPMG in between the buildings). 



So we kind of had a Malibu-Dukes kick...all for these.  Virgin Lava flows and seasoned waffle fries (no pic).  It's a little too far out though, so we haven't been for a month or so.



One Saturday we took a detour trying to beat traffic (didn't work).  But we ended up on "the wrong side of town" and while waiting at a light Matt suddenly got excited and said, "Hey!  That's the place on Operation Repo!  Take a picture!"  So I did.  Matt and his "reality" TV shows. 



This has been exciting, Matt's hair is growing back...and it's curly!  You can kind of see his popcorn curls. (I snapped this photo while he was shaving)



Since Malibu was a little farther than we wanted to drive on the weekends, we turned back to our favorite place....

Manhattan Beach!!!

We LOVE coming here on the weekends.  Lately we've been going down to the beach and running.  It's such a nice running/walking path.  It's just above the beach so there's nice breeze and the view is amazing.  The path is right in front of all the nice beach homes.



We feel like such Californians running here.  Everyone is so fit!  It's insane. 

 As I mentioned, the running path is in front of the nice beach homes.  I found two of my dream homes. 

This is house #1.  It's so nice, it takes up the width of one of the streets. 

House #2, a bit smaller, but still so cute and lovely.

The best part about running here is walking down to the beach after, cooling off our feet in the freezing water and laying out after. 



And while we're in Manhattan Beach we had to stop at Cafe Rio!  We ordered a Tres Leches and an employee brought this out to us.  There's a tres leches under all that whipped cream!  I think the worker was new since we got extra strawberries and cream.
