4 Mile Hike At Yosemite






This has got to be one of my favorite hikes of all time! It was so unbelievably beautiful. It was actually 4.6mi each way and windy switchbacks the entire time, but it was well worth it. at every turn the whole valley opens up to breathtaking vistas and sheer cliffs. It ends with seeing the Jewel of the valley, Half Dome. If you ever have a chance to do this take it!

p.s. We weren't so cute by the end

The Coast




After Christmas Mike took me to San Francisco again and then on to the Beautiful Californian Coast!

Christmas!!








Christmas was Great. We had one Christmas when Dory was here so we could all open our stockings but here are a few from Christmas Morning

I Also made an etching of Window Blind Peak for my Dad.

I also made this stars for my nieces and nephews. Sorry to the Pollastro's who haven't gotten theirs yet.


Dory's Visit.

Dory came to visit us. It was the best time. she came Dec. 16th-22nd. I didn't have a camera, and my phone camera was even acting up so I wont be able to post those until she gives me her pics. It was great though seeing so many different places and going on so many different adventures. I miss ya already!

Even More has been going on!






On Dec. 10th Mike took me to San Francisco For the first time!
We walked all over Fisherman's wharf and ate Clam Chowder out of a San Francisco Sour Dough Bowl made at Boudins! It was amazing!

A lot has been going on!




Mike Has a great job at Therapeutic Pathways
For his job we went to this event called Autism walk put on by Autism Speaks. It was a lot of fun.

New shirt New pants





















My sisters teased me that my clothes didn't fit. So I bought a pair of new pants and a shirt. It's a slow start on the wardrobe but better than nothing! Pus I an old Iranian woman told me I looked pretty so I guess I can take the tags off of them!

Mike is working for Therapeutic Pathways in the Kendal School. He will have a lot of new responsibilities and is really excited to start creating behavioral interventions for his clients. So far he loves it there and really likes all of his co-workers.

Before, During & After Losing 60 LBS!!!

I hope that you enjoy these pictures. I took them at my highest weight then after losing 30 lbs and now after losing 60 lbs. It has been a lot of work, but it has also been exciting and fun being able to see the results. Mostly it has been nice having energy and being in less pain.
