| Souvenirs! I had no idea what to get Mike from Turkey so I decided on something he might like: A suit! Made with quality Turkish fabric and by an Italian designer. |

| New friend. Frankie gets comfortable on Mike's laptop while he tries to "study" (or be on Facebook). |
Day 286: July 16, 2011
 |
| Fitting in. On my visit to the Blue Mosque I did not plan accordingly with shorts and a tank top. Fortunately I was able to borrow a skirt and scarf to see the inside of the mosque. |
Day 285: July 15, 2011
 |
| IAMCR 2011, Kadir Has University. Today I presented my research on community media and civic engagement. Even though I didn't get much feedback, overall I think the presentation went well. |
Day 284: July 14, 2011
 |
Istanbul, Turkey. Off on my adventure to IAMCR 2011 in Istanbul. The sights and sounds were too much to capture by photo. But I tried ;) |
Day 283: July 13, 2011
 |
| So many flights . . . While Mike was at home studying for Spanish class I was in Atlanta, NYC, and finally Istanbul on my adventure to Turkey. |
Day 282: July 12, 2011
 |
| And the stack grows. Never to let a class get him down, Mike diligently continues to study, divide, and conquer intro to Spanish. |
Day 281: July 11, 2011
 |
| Two weeks later. So the garden project is in dire need of help. The weeds have taken over the plants and the plants are quickly dying off. I need a gardener stat! |
Day 280: July 10, 2011
 |
| Mercy Maternity Center. We got to see the twins! So little and fragile, we were allowed to visit the twins in the NICU in Redding. Despite their appearance of fragility there was an air of strength as the twins continued to fight for their health. |
Day 279: July 9, 2011
 |
| Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ceccato! In a whirlwind of drinks and love, we celebrated the marriage of Matt and Meagan. |
Day 278: July 8, 2011
 |
| Reunited and it feels so good. Our first time apart since the wedding and we were more than happy to see each other. We celebrated by having lunch at Tapas, which is also the restaurant where we had our first date. |
Day 277: July 7, 2011
 |
| Besties. It took awhile to pencil each other into busy schedules but Jenn, Nancy and I finally had our night at Mikuni's. Good sushi, good wine, and good friends :) |

Day 275: July 5, 2011
 |
| Trivial Pursuit of Happiness. We suck at trivia night. But we did have a lot of fun :) |
Day 274: July 4, 2011
 |
| Young love. While Mike was at a BBQ at our friend Erin's house in OK, I went to a BBQ at my sister's house in Citrus Heights and was forced to witness the grossness that is young love. Happy fourth of July! |
Day 273: July 3, 2011
 |
| Hot streak! Apparently being tired and sleep deprived didn't keep Mike from continuing his winning streak at Riverwind Casino. |
Day 272: July 2, 2011
 |
| A rousing game of horseshoes? At Egle's homecoming party we played horseshoes, and kickball, and had a piñata. Oh my! |
Day 271: July 1, 2011
 |
| mmm calamari. I don't care if the texture is weird it still tastes good. Although I have to question how humanely the squid was treated before I decided to take this pic. Hmmm. |
Day 270: June 30, 2011
 |
| Strawberry salsa & beer. Yum! Alexa, Staci and I checked out the new Bows and Arrows and tried their delicious bites and beer. The patio is definitely worth checking out :) |
Day 269: June 29, 2011
 |
| Misfit's dead. Mike scared the sh*t out of me when he texted me this picture of Misfit in our front "yard". I thought she was dead and freaked out. Luckily, she is alive and well. |
Day 268: June 28, 2011
 |
| Dinner for one :( Hungry and alone in the wilderness of Oklahoma, Mike went out, hunted and killed his own dinner. Or he just went to WalMart and picked something up. Either way, it looks good! |
Day 267: June 27, 2011
 |
| Happy birthday Athan! I like to think he really liked the singing dog we got him for his birthday. He was dancing and everything :) |
Day 266: June 26, 2011
 |
| The Hangover. In an attempt to nurse our hangovers from the festivities of Alexa's birthday party the night before we decided to get drunk again with mimosas, sangria and breakfast burritos. Yum! |
Day 265: June 25, 2011
 |
| Happy wedding day! While Mike stayed in Oklahoma for summer school I got to break away to California and enjoy the wonderful wedding of my friends Miles and Ashley. |
Day 264: June 24, 2011
 |
| Go big or go home. After a very unlucky poker season due to school, Mike's winning streak came back! |
Day 263: June 23, 2011
 |
| Aw, he was crying because he missed his momma. Or because he hadn't been fed since she left . . . |
Day 262: June 22, 2011
 |
| The last supper. And it was amazing! We had crab, potatoes, corn and sausage (all organic). Much better than Joe's Crab Shack. |
