about us.

me: i am head over heels in love. i work in san francisco. i live with my hubster at the beach. i have two kitties named sushi & miso and they truly rule the house. i am enchanted by anything that sparkles...including {but not limited to} my wedding ring, the ocean, and the sun. i am a christian. i graduated from the university of san diego with a bachelors degree in accountancy. i passed all four parts of the cpa exam on my first try. i work to live, i do not live to work. i am 5'5 with eyes the same color as my husband's, green. i always joke with him that i hope our future daughter inherits his legs and our son inherits mine...because he has fabulously lean thighs and mine are built for a linebacker. i have an obsession with mustard yellow and mixing neutrals. i get anxiety when i think about pollution. i love brown boys, especially the costa rican one i married. i am a selective perfectionist and am as stubborn as they come. i love cooking. i love decorating. i hate cleaning so much that i hired a housekeeper on a standing appointment who comes once every two weeks because i'd rather have a clean house than eat...i'm sure my husband doesn't feel the same way. i dislike going to the grocery store...scratch that: i dislike driving to the grocery store and the fiasco of parking-once i'm in and shopping, i enjoy myself. i could live in kauai if it weren't so far away from family. i have been to china, hong kong, quebec, mexico, and martha's vineyard {should be classified as a foreign country imo}. i can't lie to save my own life. i can't sleep in. i am trying to drink tea instead of coffee {a near impossible feat for my seattle roots} mostly because coffee whacks my body out. i guess that makes me extremely sensitive to caffeine, which doesn't help the love affair that i have with it. obsessed with green juice and listening to my body for what it needs. i think that might be the hippie in me. i am fascinated by fashion and makeup...and wish i had more time to relish in both. my heart is extremely sensitive-jack refers to it as a delicate flower and that when i get flustered my petals get wilty. i'm working on that.

jack: he is formally john albert iii. he graduated from san diego state university majoring in molecular biology with a minor in psychology.  he is currently a medical student at the california school of podiatric medicine where he is studying to earn his doctorate in podiatry. right now, he's decided on becoming board certified in forefoot, rearfoot & ankle surgery. of course, his interests and specialty may shift before graduation, and i love watching his passion in this field develop. before medical school took over his life, he loved to surf and be at the beach. now he's studying and saving those loves for later. work hard now, play hard later. he is a christian. he is 6'1 and has broad man shoulders. he smells good all the time. he loves peanut butter with ____ {insert food item here}. he hated brussels sprouts until i came along. loves stew. still not too big on eating fruit or anything tart. every morning is started off with two eggs with cheese, preferably on a sammy. yep, i make that for him...most of the time. he, however, can make a mean egg scramble. he is obsessed with motorcycles, guns and waves. he played football in high school and rugby in college. he wishes there would be a zombie apocalypse for one week. he is good at everything. ever. y. thing. and he can fix anything. he is a human gps. attained eagle scout by the time he was 15 years old. if there is ever an easy way to get anything done, jack chooses the longest road less traveled to get there...but the end result is perfect. this has taught me immeasurable patience. he is genuinely good. we have the same birthday {same year, too...weird, right?}. he abhors chocolate cake because of a childhood overdose...wah for me. insanely smart. he can sleep until 2 in the afternoon if you let him...but he doesn't snore so i don't mind. he is my protector and my rock. he will yell at the neighbors if they are not nice to me. he gets really tan in five minutes. might even be part seal when he gets to the beach near the water...you won't see him again for hours. he speaks espanol, but even better after a beer. when we are home, he will only eat dinner if i eat with him. he likes anything cozy. he is the extrovert out of the two of us. an amazingly supportive husband. my dreamer. he is my person.
