An area that was hit very hard was Westmont College's Campus, which happens to be where Kyle and I got married almost a year ago. Initial reports were that the cutest little white chapel ever (where our wedding was held) was lost in the fire. This was assumed until people were able to get on campus and survey the damage b/c everything leading to it on all sides was burned. We later heard it was spared :) Our friend that took these pictures said it was amazing to see. The fire literally came right up to the white picket fence on all sides on the chapel and stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fire came right up to the front door!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SSMTXtmVTTI/AAAAAAAAAik/siUAVwF9hi0/s1600-h/Chapel+after+fire.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270077287051906354" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SSMTXtmVTTI/AAAAAAAAAik/siUAVwF9hi0/s320/Chapel+after+fire.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see the fire came right up next to the white picket fence that surrounds the chapel.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SSMTYeCS5GI/AAAAAAAAAi0/4JNyfxB_2q0/s1600-h/Chapel+after+fire3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270077300054090850" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 213px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SSMTYeCS5GI/AAAAAAAAAi0/4JNyfxB_2q0/s320/Chapel+after+fire3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Below are the formal gardens that lead up to the chapel&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SSMTZZmKMuI/AAAAAAAAAjE/SiiImx6rwck/s1600-h/Gardens+after+fire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270077316042207970" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 213px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SSMTZZmKMuI/AAAAAAAAAjE/SiiImx6rwck/s320/Gardens+after+fire.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4707805546838756928-2088528791012369843?l=vanbergen4life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/feeds/2088528791012369843/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4707805546838756928&amp;postID=2088528791012369843' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/2088528791012369843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/2088528791012369843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/2008/11/close-call.html' title='Close Call'/><author><name>vanbergen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02534920133320925533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SSMTXtmVTTI/AAAAAAAAAik/siUAVwF9hi0/s72-c/Chapel+after+fire.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707805546838756928.post-3041907002742126727</id><published>2008-11-14T14:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-14T14:52:27.279-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Here We Go Again</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR4A5h-5TKI/AAAAAAAAAic/0F5HTmnbRiE/s1600-h/fire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268649602444774562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR4A5h-5TKI/AAAAAAAAAic/0F5HTmnbRiE/s320/fire.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Santa Barbara has been struck by yet another round of wildfires. In early July we had the GAP fire which burned large portions of the hills above Goleta (about 10 minutes north of here) now we have the Tea Fire which started in the hills above Montecito (about 10 minutes south of here) and has spread to a large portion of the hills the run parallel to the city. Below are some pictures taken on Westmont College's Campus last night as well as a map showing current fire locations and evacuation orders. You can see evacuation orders have come right up to the edge of the city. While Kyle and I are safe and sound (we're located right by the red cross of the map below that is closest to the 101 freeway) many of our friends have been evacuated and at least one family we know has lost their home. This fire started last night around 6pm and quickly grew! More strong winds are expected tonight and into the weekend. Please pray for the people of Santa Barbara.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR3-l61s_2I/AAAAAAAAAiU/fmYIcF8vHOE/s1600-h/westmont+fire2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268647066496466786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 269px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 179px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR3-l61s_2I/AAAAAAAAAiU/fmYIcF8vHOE/s320/westmont+fire2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR3-l-UlRLI/AAAAAAAAAiM/enbmirVcCdI/s1600-h/westmont+fire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268647067431290034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 269px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 179px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR3-l-UlRLI/AAAAAAAAAiM/enbmirVcCdI/s320/westmont+fire.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR3-lgKM1kI/AAAAAAAAAiE/DJp2sgFjIR8/s1600-h/evacuations.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268647059334682178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR3-lgKM1kI/AAAAAAAAAiE/DJp2sgFjIR8/s320/evacuations.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4707805546838756928-3041907002742126727?l=vanbergen4life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/feeds/3041907002742126727/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4707805546838756928&amp;postID=3041907002742126727' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/3041907002742126727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/3041907002742126727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/2008/11/here-we-go-again.html' title='Here We Go Again'/><author><name>vanbergen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02534920133320925533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SR4A5h-5TKI/AAAAAAAAAic/0F5HTmnbRiE/s72-c/fire.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707805546838756928.post-817483041934688209</id><published>2008-10-24T12:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-24T12:55:23.920-07:00</updated><title type='text'>scavenger hunt.....</title><content type='html'>suz, a bunch of friends and I had a scavenger hunt recently. it was a goodbye party for our friend Meg. she moved to Texas. I'm guessing cause she wants to own a home, or she like everything big. anyway, the scavenger hunt was anywhere between santa barbara (here) and Santa Maria (about 50 mintues north). we were placed into teams (different colors), all assigned to wear our team color and jumped into various cars and off we went. each team had a list of things to do or get. the time limit was 4 hours. and the finsh line was in santa maria. so there where things to do all along the route. from building a sand castle at refugio beach, drinking a pint at cold springs taveren, stapling a pair of underware at the Maverick Saloon, getting an ear pierced or getting a picture with a bride and groom at thier wedding (which we did). first the ear piercing. yup I did it. almost everybody did. that included about 10 plus guys that got their ear pierced. pretty funny sight. and yes suzy did too. not so bad for a chick. the adventure was a blast. we all met up at a park in Santa Maria for dinner, then drove to the drive in movie theatre to watch Batman. it was awesome. enjoy a few of the pics.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SQIi7dC1tmI/AAAAAAAAAfw/2thmU1KJRYM/s1600-h/scavenger_003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

A couple weekends ago we decided to take advantage of all of these things.  The avocado festival is held every year around the first weekend in October in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Carpinteria&lt;/span&gt;.  They block off the main street and pay homage to all things avocado: guacamole and....well that's about it. Kyle and I loaded up the bikes in the back of the trucks and headed down to the festival where we met up with our friends &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;TaraLynn&lt;/span&gt; &amp;amp; Magda. Turns out there's not a whole lot to do at the avocado festival other than eat.  So after eating nothing that contained avocados we all headed out to the bluffs for a bike ride. We cruised around and enjoyed the day.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Beautiful Bluffs of Carp!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SP_FhgseWlI/AAAAAAAAAeo/B3U8K6pycE4/s1600-h/bluffs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/SP_FhgseWlI/AAAAAAAAAeo/B3U8K6pycE4/s320/bluffs.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260140069294856786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Sort of a weird spot for a stop sign....

While we were there, we spent a day in Yosemite with my parents.  Below is a picture of us at the top of Vernal Falls.  This is a great hike up what seemed like an endless amount of stairs carved into the granite.

I might get some fishing in. I hear they've been stocking the river every week or so. it blue sky's and warm outside, but there is a chance for rain tomorrow. hope it doesn't rain on us. it just wouldn't be the ideal situation. oh, if anyone has some extra wood, bring it. I'm hoping the fire will last all night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;last night was awesome. we went to the surf flick, "Walking On Water" with my parents, jon, serenity, and the rest of santa barbara. it was a little too hectic knowning everyone and trying not to say hi. overwhelming would be a better word. once the movie started everyone chilled out. suz and I rode our bikes to beat the parking nightmare and breath a little fresh air. the theatre was sold out, over capacity. oh, and I won a tee shirt. the end.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4707805546838756928-7493326745310548892?l=vanbergen4life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/feeds/7493326745310548892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4707805546838756928&amp;postID=7493326745310548892' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/7493326745310548892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/7493326745310548892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/2008/03/camping-tonight.html' title='camping this weekend'/><author><name>vanbergen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02534920133320925533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707805546838756928.post-8974237689386601801</id><published>2008-03-11T15:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-11T15:59:39.357-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Free surf movie this thurs night</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/R9cOu9AtxYI/AAAAAAAAAJk/W2xAU1skuZE/s1600-h/wow_santabarbara_poster.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/R9cOu9AtxYI/AAAAAAAAAJk/W2xAU1skuZE/s320/wow_santabarbara_poster.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176622496500008322" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walking on Water is presenting a surf flick this thursday night. its free.

I'm still getting goose bumps from the whole thing. it was like hiking in a tropical rain forest. super green, lush, santa barbara mountains. and the waterfall, we found it. It is the most insane waterfall I've ever seen in santa barbara. about 75 feet high. And since we've had some rain lately, it was gushing. on the way back it got dark, so we put our headlights on and hike out. to top it all off, we headed down to get some grubby tacos at some hole in the wall. what a great way to end the weekend.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4707805546838756928-6690421477467450019?l=vanbergen4life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/feeds/6690421477467450019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4707805546838756928&amp;postID=6690421477467450019' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/6690421477467450019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/6690421477467450019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/2008/02/hiking-in-rain.html' title='Hiking in the rain'/><author><name>vanbergen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02534920133320925533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/R8NnTQalA-I/AAAAAAAAAGg/uGogB_Njivw/s72-c/P1010506sm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707805546838756928.post-9111157920057314934</id><published>2008-02-25T16:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-25T17:01:16.200-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Serenity &amp; Jon Wedding</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/R8NkkQalA8I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/qBjAbqv6WYA/s1600-h/P1010457sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/R8NkkQalA8I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/qBjAbqv6WYA/s320/P1010457sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171087371195974594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/R8NkkgalA9I/AAAAAAAAAGY/py3n7Z4l16k/s1600-h/P1010461sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/R8NkkgalA9I/AAAAAAAAAGY/py3n7Z4l16k/s320/P1010461sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171087375490941906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;our good friends Jon and Serenity got married on Saturday. it was awesome. wedding and reception took place at the Greek Orthodox Church.

I think its God given creation that sparks our internal being with his art. we know how beautiful a sunset can be, or the ah we can get from snow tipped mountains.  so, that all said, I'm pushing the involvement of people in art. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;santa Barbara has a complete art show every First thursday of the month. there can be up to 3o or more different art galleries going on, all packed with people and refreshments. its awesome. today is the first thursday of February. it all takes place between 5 and 8pm downtown. here is a website of todays galleries. &lt;a href="http://santabarbaradowntown.com/go.asp"&gt;www.santabarbaradowntown.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;scroll down to the map. click on it to see where all the magic is happening. in addition, there is a free movie tonight at metro 4, at 8pm. The free screening of The Silly Age, is set in Havana Cuba.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;see you tonight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4707805546838756928-8116381903616313439?l=vanbergen4life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/feeds/8116381903616313439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4707805546838756928&amp;postID=8116381903616313439' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/8116381903616313439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4707805546838756928/posts/default/8116381903616313439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vanbergen4life.blogspot.com/2008/02/first-thursday-of-month.html' title='first thursday of the month'/><author><name>vanbergen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02534920133320925533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vf7c8a-xhcQ/R6tRSfBZciI/AAAAAAAAAFE/V6q-6sii68s/s72-c/1st_thur_logo_web_go.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707805546838756928.post-5047913556328534458</id><published>2008-02-06T16:12:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-06T16:57:53.464-08:00</updated><title type='text'>new header.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;got a new header. its the first time I knelt before Suz. only a week after I met her. some might not now the story so here it is. I met suz the day before new years eve. New Years Eve, I new I wanted to be with her for a long time. A few days later I asked her if she wanted to go to Hawaii. she said yes. so the next weeked we were off to Hawaii for..... the weekend. then the rest just kept rolling on. this picture was taken in the most beautiful bay by a friend, Anna Walden. we didn't even know she was taking pictures. we just turned around, I dropped to my knee and click we had my first quiet proposal. ha ha ha. it felt pretty good and by the time we left hawaii, I knew that suz wasn't going very far from me. so I drove  down to san diego every other weekend to see her, and she came up here the other weekends. it only lasted 7 months till the luring natural wonders of santa barbara brought suz up here, instead of me going down there. phewwww, lucky me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;and so it was, 3 months after she moved up here, I proposed.
