the rose garden

on friday night we had dan's work party. it was way fun. we went to the jazz game where we had dinner first then got to go see the jazz win against the sacramento kings. we took little eva with us and she was scared at first with all the loud noise, but then she got used to it and fell asleep for most of the second half. then, his firm had rented out rooms in the anniversary inn for the employees. they had a lottery at work for the different rooms and we ended up with the rose garden room. it was kind of floofy and had fake roses and lattice and stuff everywhere. it was probably the room i would have chosen least out of all of the rooms there, but hey, it was free for us. i guess dan couldn't get anyone to trade their room for ours. it was fun going with a big group though, because we got to go around and see all of the different themed rooms. luckilly, eva wasn't too loud because we had some neighbors that weren't part of our group, and we didn't want to ruin their romantic escapade. thanks, dan's work for a fun evening. we feel much closer to everyone now because hey nothing bonds a company like, umm, well, "sleeping" next door to your co-workers.

band of horses

it's a good day when you discover a new band worth listening to. i know band of horses has been around for years, but i just found some of their music and i like it. check them out. you can also check them out here.

just in case

today we went to apply for eva's passport. we want to be prepared in case we need to flee the country in the near future. you never know. they guy at the post office wasn't sure these pictures i took would pass because of the shadows, but i think they are better than the one the "professional" passport picture taker guy took of annie when she was a baby where my hands are in it.
