the by now "infamous" wedding reception. Our friends Stephanie & Jim got married 
on April 13th in Costa Rica. We offered them our house to host their Washington reception, (they also had one in Texas). So we've been prepping, cleaning, waxing and moving stuff around in preparation for yesterday's 
big event. My husband was happy to finally have the motivation he (we) needed to get our garage cleaned out, some stuff moved around and everything clean and sparkling.

ed Alex cater the event. The food he whipped up was phenomenal. Didn't know they ate that good in Costa Rica. We had some wonderful chicken on a vegetable mix rice, a black bean fried rice (I can't recall the Costa Rican name), coleslaw, green salad ,watermelon and pineapple, and of course the mandatory wedding cake (thank you Costco!). The piece de resistance was his phenomenal pork, which was slow baked in a banana glaze and finished off with a sweet and sour mango salsa. Yummy! We had leftovers today and they are almost better the second time around.

We spent some time watching beach volleyball and I am happy to say that Misty May and Kerry Walsh 
are on their way to kick some butt at the summer Olympics in Beijing. Imagine playing in 101 consecutive matches and winning them all. What a legacy... Do you think I could quit my job and move to San Diego to pursue a Beach Volleyball career? A girl can dream, can't she?
