Congrats to my cousin Sara, now Sara Sabino Guitierrez! After months & months of planning, she finally tied the knot last Saturday, August 20th. We added one more to our massive family wolfpack, & we couldn’t be happier!
Of course, since it’s a family event, I volunteered to set up my photobooth at the reception in Oakland. The wife was behind the camera, & I was in front running around & organizing shots. Check out our handiwork:

Bless Cindy & her generous heart. Actually, she rolls with a group of her college friends who are equally as generous. Every year, they participate in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Her group fundraises to participate in a very tolling march through San Francisco.
Specifically, the first day of the walk starts at Fort Mason, through San Francisco streets, across the Golden Gate Bridge, then end the day in a tent in Corte Madera. The trip ends as the walkers make their way back to Fort Mason.

Cindy couldn’t wait to put her feet up after arrival, but despite all the miles, many who crossed the finish did it with a smile on their face.

Ahh, I love summers. Sorry, to be more accurate, I love warm summers. The meteorologists finally thought it was cool to give us a warm, Northern California week (that’s what meteorologists do, right?), so our buddy Axel at work organized a small county fair outing after office hours. This fair was totally true to it’s form, too: carnival rides, a petting zoo, deep-fried everything, & carnies that smell like cabbage.

Is this place for adults? Not necessarily, but it’s a place for adults to be like little children again. Ahh…deep-fried Oreos. Genius idea!
Edit: Axel went through my photos & made a photo edit that’s safe for work:

Ahh, tailgating season. When the weather is awesome in the Bay Area, there’s no better way to enjoy a Saturday afternoon. Even better when you get to enjoy it with the company of friends, as well as the opportunity to make new ones.
The Texas Rangers came into town a few weeks ago & played a few games in Oakland. Perfect occasion to break out the tailgating kit & BBQ to enjoy a parking lot lunch with fellow baseball fans & fans of free food. Foul on me, though—we managed to fit our whole tailgate kit in my tiny GTI, but realized that I forgot the barbeque grill in the living room [sad trombone]. All good, because whenever people are having fun, they forget that the hot dogs they’re eating are cold.

One minute, she was that girl who studied abroad with me in Japan nearly eight years ago, the next minute, we’re celebrating her birthday as husband & wife at The Melting Pot, down the street from the home that we share. Her special day was filled with chocolate fondue & flowers waiting for her at home. Happy birthday to my dearest wife!
