Food and Fun!

I know those of you who have looked at this blog are expecting some exciting pictures....but it is taking longer than I thought, due to the fact that I have to upload them on public computers. However, never fear, I shall figure out a way to post them.
It has been nice having Bray to myself these past few days. The academy starts in about a week, and although he is learning music, I have had him with me 24/7.:) We have been avidly exploring, and just on the main street have found dozens of fun, tasty and atmospheric restaurants. We haven't tried them all, of course, but I must say, cities do offer quite the wide range in food accoutrements. We went into a Danish pastry/restaurant shop on our way to the library today, and ohhh the sights and smells! They gave us a sample of a chocolate charlotte cake, and a lemon mousse. That in itself has convinced us we might have to break our mold, and open our wallets for an evening out....it is hard to choose when you have so many choices and yet not a lot of options!:) Ah well, the never ending lesson of self-control.
This afternoon, Bray and I are going to venture down to Stearn's wharf; the main waterfront attraction in Santa Barbara. This should be great because there is a long walkway, bordered by palm trees, that goes along the shore. There are boardwalks and ships galore....and of course seagulls and seaweed. Every time I turn around there is something here that I would love to show one of my friends. Isaac and Katie, if you read this, you really MUST come to visit sometime...there is far too much fun for just the two/three of us.
Needless to say, I have ample amounts of things to keep me busy, for those of you who were worried, but that doesn't mean I don't have moments where I miss Moscow and all the fellowship.
We shall find out this Wednesday how soon the baby should be arriving, at least as far as doctors can tell....as I know that is what most of you are waiting to hear about. But, in the meantime, I shall keep up the walking( which is easy to do around here, so much to see!!!) and we are VERY excited for the academy to start as well, so we can delve back in to the music.
May God continue to bless you all....love you!
