Krissy & Dayantha’s Party
On July 16th, Dayantha married the love of his life and we were all there to celebrate with them at Lakewood Country Club. The ceremony was outside on the lawn and still had a very traditional Catholic touch.
All the babies were included in the wedding including Titus, who had started walking just in time for the ceremony.
They had a cocktail hour inside the clubhouse and in the patio. It was so fun to have all my old friends together in one place again.
The reception started with Dayantha performing “Ditty” with his new wife.
The rest of the night was filled with music, dancing, and lots of toasts. 
Jes was also reunited with his little friend Makenzie.
With all free-flowing drinks and long night of dancing, we also witnessed the progressive deconstruction of Victor: jacket off, tie off, unbuttoned, untucked, and finally shoes off. Classic.
At the end of the night, the happy couple danced among drums and bubbles in a very joyful celebration/send off. We all had a great time that night and I gotta say that the Fernandos really know how to throw a party.
Here is the full album of photos from this memorable (maybe not for some) evening.
This afternoon, we packed a picnic and took Muni to Golden Gate Park. The San Francisco Symphony had a free concert in Sharon Meadow and the weather cooperated. When we got off the street car, it was kinda cold and windy but the sun came out by the time we got to the park.
We enjoyed some Mt. Tam, crackers, salami, and olives with our Bandit box of wine and classical music.
After a short little nap in the sun, we also had some of the pasta salad that I made at home using a rotisserie chicken, bowtie pasta, tomato, basil, olive oil, and salt/pepper. Yummy.
On Saturday, I had a slow start and was feeling EXTRA lazy but somehow I got my butt out the door and ran 5 miles in under 50 minutes. I was shocked. So, I stopped at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and bought some fresh produce and cheese.
Later that afternoon, the Sokol-Juns came over to play in the pool for a bit. It was fun to watch Jack and Reese play in the water while I got some sunshine.
I caught this photo of Reese and Jack together at the end of their swim. So cute.
On Sunday, Jason came over and we went to the Fillmore Jazz Festival. We watched a few performers including Kim Nalley and also stopped by Matt’s apartment down the street for some respite from the sun and Jes borrowed a pair of shorts.
When we got home that evening, we met up down in the courtyard for a Korean BBQ with the Masayas. Susie’s mom packed her a huge cooler of spicy pork and kimchi last weekend and we were lucky enough to enjoy it. Susie prepared and bought all the sides for a complete meal.
On Monday, it was July 4th and I actually had the day off. We had a lazy morning and afternoon while I made chicken tortilla soup for Jes who has been sick all week. Then around 7:00, we walked over to the Caltrain station where a shuttle drove us all the way to Pier 39. 
We walked down to Aquatic Park and Ghiradelli Square and found a small spot on the lawn. We’ve tried to watch fireworks a few times in the past but always ended up with colored fog.
This year, it was clear and we were situated in the middle of the action with music and a perfect view of the show.
On Wednesday night (6/29), I hung out with Little J while his parents went out on a date. After enjoying a McNugget Happy Meal, we
played baseball,
This past weekend was bachelorette party weekend for Krissy in LA while the boys were in Vegas for Dayantha’s bachelor party. On Friday after work, Susie, Jen, and I drove down to LA together. It was a long but uneventful drive and I was in bed by 3 am.
The next morning I woke up early go visit Pish for a check on a chipped tooth that I had and also got a cleaning. Afterward, I met up with Brother and Joy who then called the Wangs to join us for brunch at King’s Hawaiian in Torrance. Yum yum!
Later in the afternoon, I got ready and picked up the girls from Susie’s house. My parents agreed to drive us to West Hollywood to meet up with the rest of the girls who had already started some of the festivities. There was pizza and games at the apartment and then we all loaded up into a limo for a night on the town.
The first stop was Hollywood Men, which was a cheesy male show for the bride-to-be. The limo then took us to Blvd3 where we danced and enjoyed the VIP table that was reserved.
Brother, Joy, and Roland also crashed the party since it was so close to Roland’s apartment. Good times…
The next morning, we drove back to SF and I was exhausted. Thankfully I had taken Monday off. Unfortunately, I found a bruise on my right knee, three bruises on my left knee and one of my left arm. To came home with a broken toe and Ti’s legs were all black and blue too. Boy, we had a goooood time.
It was a sunny day today and it happened to be the first day of summer! I came home from work to a sick but chipper husband who suggested that we take a visit to the AT&T store to upgrade my phone. I was eligible for a full upgrade to an iPhone4 and now Husband is a proud owner of my 3GS. Score for me!
On top of the upgrade, I got a cute cover for 50% off! Yesh!!
Afterward, we picked up a six-pack and a pizza from Amici’s and enjoyed them up on our roof. It was a nice way to end the Longest Day of the Year.
With this view, we should hang out on the roof more often.
