Celebrate!

Sunday was a day of celebration for Mr. and Mrs. Elsh. Adam finished his two week intensive study at San Jose State and Valentine's Day was continued. We started out the usual way, hitting up Queen Malika and Starbucks. Then we went to the AMC Van Ness and with about a dozen other early birds, took in a showing of The Number 23. Very exciting! Y'all should definitely see it. Jim Carrey is quite the dramatic actor, if we do say so ourselves. Back at the pad we enjoyed some Call of Duty 3 and sirius music. Fun times! Then it was on to the Bi-Rite Creamery, for the most delicious treats. If you ever stop in, we recommend the roasted banana, chocolate combo. After that a little grocery shopping at Bi Rite market for our dinner ingredients. With the help of a couple Martha Stewart recipes we enjoyed the most delicious BLT's and a spicy garlic potato soup. Oh my goodness...we've never had a soup that called for two heads of garlic, but it was so amazingly good, it's sure to be a regular guest in our kitchen. To top the night off we popped in a Kurosawa flick: The Bad Sleep Well, and partook in our game of choice - Scrabble. All in all, it was a day of relaxation and good food. What more can you ask for?

V-Day Part One

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! After a long day of work and school, we enjoyed a delicious dinner and yummy dessert. But as a couple hours just isn't enough for these lovebirds, we're having 2 V-Days this year. Yippeee!

Morning Walk

Saturday morning was perfect for a little city walk! We first hit up the local Starbucks, then walked on to the post office to retrieve a book Ad needs for school. Then, on to the library to get 8 more books Ad needs for school. That's a lot of reading to accomplish in one week. Wish him luck y'all!

It's our Anniversary!

We celebrated 10 years this weekend!!! In honor of the occasion, we did a few of our favorite things. First we woke up, then we ate oatmeal and drank espresso, then got ready, left and filled up the tank in the old Celica, hit up Starbucks, then the Golden Gate Bridge and on to Freestone, home of the delcious Wildflower Bakery. That place is our favorite little destination ever! We had lunch in the cute Sebastapol town square and then it was back to San Francisco for an afternoon of shopping. Impossible as it sounds, we found nothing...but that's probably because we had to go to the Stonestown Mall (pathetic) due to protests congesting up the downtown area. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Chow on Church Street...yummy! Today, we continued the celebrating and went out to breakfast at Queen Malika's...home of the most satisfying crepes we've ever tried. Then Starbuck's on Mariposa gave us our caffeine fix so we could try shopping again. This time, our luck was much better...Bloomingdales is awesome! Lilly found a hot pair of Paige Denim jeans and Ad got some snazzy pants by Theory and Cool Hunting People. Not bad! After enjoying a delicious rye and turkey sandwich, we're ready for a good movie and some Scrabble. Now that's celebrating done right!

War Games

Last weekend, it was on! We all geared up and blasted eachother with paintballs. The family farm is now our personal battlefield, with the Aries as the centerpiece. And while this might sound deranged to some, it's super duper fun.
