Get me Outta Here

In 8 days I'll be going on vacation. It can't come soon enough. Things have been hectic at work and I'm pretty much losing my position (temporarily) at work as soon as I get home from California. Hopefully it will help my attitude to come back from a relaxing vacation.

I'm really excited to see Henry obviously and get out of here for a while. We're going snorkeling off of Catalina when I'm out there, so in about 2 weeks, I'll be seeing this:

I'm pretty sure that's a Garibaldi which i believe is California's state fish and Henry told me they are abundant where we'll be snorkeling. We'll also be heading to SeaWorld again thanks to our season passes and I'm definitely going to be feeding the bat rays and dolphins again. Other than that its going to be a lot of relaxing and also taking a vacation for my LOW Low low carb diet.

Thank god.

Very Scary

I've been getting lots of emails and texts, and calls....I'm ok, Matt's ok, everyone I know is ok. Matt just found out that his cousin was on the bridge when it collased. He fell about 40 feet but is ok and was able to to the hosptial with no serious injuries.

I had another friend who luckily decided to take 280 last night instead of 35W like usual.

Its very odd to see pictures of a bridge I've been on hundreds of times laying in pieces and broken in the river. I'm just really glad that Minnesota emergency personnel were so quick to act and so many people were rescued and moved quickly to the hospitals.

I'm sure all of our thought and prayers are with those directly effected by this tragic accident.
