It just kind of.... Clicked!

Isn't it weird how sometimes things click.... for example, you can be waiting for ever for something to happen, a phone call, a new job, an opportunity, you know anything.... and then it just happens. Despite sleepless nights, aggravation and passed time - it just happens. I kind of feel like that is where I am at this moment. I may be speaking too soon but I figured i'd blog about it anyway. I know this post is a bit vague but I will explain when I have more details :)

Latley, I have been enjoying a lot of family time. Not only with Michael and I but with both of our families. My brother Graduated from college last week - sheesh when did he grow up!?! And the week prior to that we celebrated Mother's day. I swear, every family thing centers around eating. For example, the weeks before Mother's day approached my mom and I planned out the food details about what we would consume for appetizers, main dishes and desserts. We came up with a Mexican theme. It was really good, delicious marinated carne asada and chicken from Valarta market, with a variety of sides including delicious corn cake, beans, grilled veggies, and a mexican style salad with avacado cilantro dressing, pepitas, and cotija cheese - YUM! We always make too much food. That is the problem with my Mom and cooking. And now I do it too, I make too much. My grandma always did that too. It's kind of an inherent default that the women in the kopulsky/ginsberg/sack/ and now klein divisions of our families have and will probably always have. So there is always room for more guests because we typically have two times the amount of food to serve the people that we know are coming!

Anyways, back to what I was saying... I have really been enjoying my family time. For Max's graduation my cousin Rebecca came down from SF. My Uncle Jack and my other cousin Jake and Kiah did not accompany Becca. Which was okay, because we all got to spend some one on one time with Becca while she was here, uninterrupted by the boys. I had a really fun time with her. We shared a nice dinner, took a walk around the area where my mom lives, and just hung out. We are the only "girl cousins" in the family so we have to stick together. She is heading off to Montery in a couple of weeks for her Chinese immersion progarm. She will continue to take mandarin classes, (which she has been taking in school in Oregon at Louis and Clarke) and fully learn the language, so in just a few months longer she can head off to China. She is so excited and I am sure she will have a phenomenal time.

So to sum this up family is great, I am lucky to have such a fun, crazy and at time overwhelming group to be apart of. And thank god - Michael fits right in too!

I have some fabulous photos to go with this post and to show off my new Canon Rebel digital SLR camera. But I still have not mastered the picture posting yet, actually I havent even had time to figure it out... but as soon as I do I will post. Until then....


Things to look forward to:

1. Michael's 27th Birthday - OMG when did he get so old?
2. Work - I am actually looking forward to working on Saturday - weird right?
3. Monday at the Peninsula Hotel w/ my mom, tea time!
