Our beloved pet

He will be missed by his loving parents: fathers, Maurio & Nic and mother Ashley and all of his friends. Our sweet little angel will be greatly missed. He had a great personality and everyone who met him loved him.

The weekend and Eins near death experience

So some people may ask what we did with our weekend? OK, no one is asking but we'll tell you anyway.
On Saturday we went to Griffith park with Ein. We tried to hike up to the Hollywood sign but it was 100 degrees, we had no water,no camera, and a stubby corgi in tow. So we decided to revisit this one later.
On Sunday we made the worst mistake ever. We bought spore.

We played all day Sunday and Ashley played all day Monday. It's a new game by the Creator of the Sims. You start your character out as a cell and develop the character into a creature, tribe, civilization, and then alien!! Many worthy hours have already been put into this game.

Ashley ventured out with Ein today for Eins normal walk/potty break. Two woman with a stroller and dog that was bigger than the two Asian ladies combined was leashed to one of the older ladies legs. Ashley and Ein were walking on the sidewalk heading back up to the hotel when the dog came bolting towards them. The woman who had the dog leash tied to her leg went face down on to the cement sidewalk as the dog got loose and took off after Ein. Ashley was able to strangle the big dog with its choke chain and keep it from eating Ein while the small woman gathered themselves. Luckily Ashley and Ein came away without a scratch though the experience was very nerve racking.

Its Friday!

Its finally Friday!

Maurio had his first late night but it wasn't too bad, plus his new job pays overtime! To celebrate Ashley and Maurio ate the best and most expensive Mexican food ever! Now its time for board games and drinkin'!

Yes...we do know we're lame.

That concludes another suspenseful chapter in the lives of Maurio and Ashley.

We have arrived...one week ago

We'll we came out dreaming of owning a home but due to some "confusion" between our real estate agent and everyone else (wells-fargo, home sellers,us) we will end up renting our first 6 months while we continue to look for a house.

We did get to go to the beach.

It looks a little grey but this was a very overcast day to be on the beach.

We also found Ein (pictured below) a dog park to play in. Its probably the nicest dog park we have ever seen.

This is the dog park.

Its been pretty uneventful lately. We have spent a lot of our time looking at houses, then apartments. We have been hanging out in downtown Burbank a lot. This is because our hotel is in downtown Burbank. Good shopping and good sushi....very good sushi.

Ashley and Ein have been getting cabin fever while Maurio goes to work. She cornered the poor dog and dressed her up like a pig.




At work Maurio just started reading up on power amplifiers. It seems he will be building one shortly. Its a challenge, he hasn't worked on components like that for some time. He is definitely having a good time so far.
