Update on our journey - kitties are doing good

So Zak, kitties and I started our ~3,000 mi road trip Thursday night at 6pm. We tried to take every precaution for the trip - especially making sure the kitties had a comfortable place to sleep while we drove. We planned to take about 30 minute breaks twice a day to take each one out of their crates to allow them to stretch those lil legs. We laid out a small litter pan and bowls for food and water at those stops and just cuddled and cared for the cuties. Our first break was very interesting. Everyone wanted different things from us - one for petting, one for peeing, one for food (you can take a guess who that is!), and the other to just explore the suburban. We're hoping that the next few breaks would get easier as it gets easier for them. Of course initially the first hour Opal yelled and went crazy - shaking the bars and dig her nails into the crate. But it's not that bad at all so far. They've been very very good, surprisingly. With Zak and I rotating 4 hour shifts we can probably get to Seattle by Saturday morning. The roads have been clear so far so we have been very fortunate!

What do I think about on my 30th birthday

OMG I just turned 30.  I am having a major life crisis.   I made goals to get married, have kids, and live in a nice home in the suburbs.  I had goals that I've traveled and seen the world by the age of 30.  What do I have to show for in the last 3 decades?  It's getting harder to loss weight, my body and skin isn't perky and good at resisting the harshness of the world.  My skin is no longer smooth and wrinkle free.  I am 30 and can I really have kids?! What will I be doing in the next 30 years?

That is the stuff that goes through my head today.  It initially depressed me and had put a number of my fragile mind.   However just thinking about the major accomplishments I've had in my life I'm happy that I had made conscious decisions to at least made baby steps to meet my goals.  I got married to a wonderful husband.  I have kitties who gives me unconditional love.  I am getting my masters in June.  I am among people that exemplifies love and support for one another.  Because of that, I am doing great and that makes the the happiest person in the world.  Sure, I’m not where I thought I’d be when I reached 30, but you know, I’m pretty happy with where I am.  It’s so cliche, but I feel like I have so much ahead of me.  There are so many exciting things happening in the world and so many opportunities to grow personally and professionally.  I’m glad to have my place in all of it, at least until things change again and I go off on my next adventure... BRING IT ON!

What am I thankful for?

What am I thankful for?

  1. Family & Friends - I am thankful for my husband who is my adviser, supporter, and listener.   I am thankful for the close relationships I have with Zak's family and mine.  Especially closer to my brother throughout the years.  I am thankful for friends and acquaintances.  Their multiple interests and perspectives keep me open-minded and empathetic.  Finally, I am thankful for the kitties who show pure unconditional love. 
  2. Health - I am thankful for my good health.  If I didn't have a healthy body or mind, I wouldn't be able to do things I can do now.
  3. Technology - I am thankful for the technology.  I love my iPhone, Dropbox, and Hulu (to name a few).  Without technology, I wouldn't be able to organize, store, collaborate, connect things customized to my preference and process.
Happy Thanksgiving 2009!

Wanted to share some pictures of my kitties

It is so hard to get shots where my kitties are looking right at you and the camera.   
Opal and Matlida laying next to each other.  I think they planned it out so I get only one of them looking at me at a time.  
The other is a close up of Lucy, she's the up close and personal type.  Enjoy!
