Yesterday was our 6 month mensiversary! Half way there to a year, and it has been a marvelous six months. I am so lucky to have such a compassionate and caring human being who actually loves me. He has such a beautiful soul and is so down to earth, that I always feel so relaxed next to him. So, what did we do to celebrate? We went to Whole Earth Festival at UC Davis! It was a very relaxing afternoon sitting on the grass with Cody's head on my lap, gently caressing his hair and music all around us. Lots of hippies! But also, lots of vendors :/ I got a beetle painted on my chest. It was really pretty, but I think that next time, I'll paint my own beetle at home.
There were informational booths too, like SAVE THE FROGS, but by the time we got there, only the vendors were left. And the food was so expensive too! Imagine a mango on a stick for 5 bucks! absurd! Still, it was a nice ambiance and we were there with friends too (Christina, Luna, Mike, and Robyn). AND Cody and I got FREE plants! Yay! More babies for our garden!
Afterwards, some of us went to eat, but we all met again later in the park where we played with Mike's glow pois. And that's it! We went home.

Here's a poem I recently got from Codybear:
There once was a man, gazing fondly at his lover with delight.
She gave him love, fidelity, and respite… He’d do absolutely anything for her in a fight.
At her he frequently stared, but it couldn’t be helped.
In a moment he might feel her pinch, and give a yelp.
For he had feelings hard to bear, for her gift to him had been more than fair,
Her passion, her stare, her gentle and loving care.
To pleasure, to cherish, to warm inside and out,
He loved her more day by day, there could be no doubt.
Her hair a gorgeous pink, so much more beautiful than she might think
A squeaky bra and a pouty lip, both do nothing to shake his grip
of the love he feels, the desire he has, the hopes he carries
For her and he to one day marry.
And for all that may come, the ups and downs are sure to follow.
But in each other's arms nothing felt is hollow,
for there always awaits an even greater tomorrow.
Worry and fear, do take heed,
with them together you will not feed.
While little in this world is certain, indeed,
it is beyond true, Nahdxyeli, that you are all Cody needs.
Yay! I love my Cody :) And speaking of "one day marry," big ol' CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! to Viqui for getting engaged!!! I am sooo happy for you!
And another Congratulations! to Karina! for getting into UC Davis Med School. Knew you could do it, girl!

P.S. Don't know why that text is boxed in/highlighted like that.
Last Friday, Cody and I went to Berkeley to boulder with some friends (David, Sunnie, and Viqui.) As always, Berkeley is beautiful and any trip with Cody is super fun, even when we are just driving. Especially when we are just driving, listening to radiolabs and having conversations on science-y topics. When we got to Indian Rock Park, I was surprised that I never knew how such a big rock was smack in the middle of the Berkeley area surrounded by houses.There are lots of other rocks like that scattered around. David and Cody really got into bouldering and were helping each other, while I just played around on the rocks. David and Sunnie are really good and I only wish Cody and I could have gotten together with them a lot earlier because I think we could really learn from them. I've noticed that climbers tend to be really friendly and helpful, so I'm sure we'll encounter other climbers that we can learn from.
After climbing, we went to Berkeley Bowl and bought lots of bulk food. We are planning on making vegan pumpkin and poppy seed wheat bread. Sounds good, right? We are also going to make veggie tamales (we might need help from my mom for this), and tofu stuffed bell peppers. Yum! We bought a pint of vegan curry lentil soup and ate it on top of a look out point overlooking the bay. After eating, we climbed some more! It was a really secluded little park with a beautiful view of the sunset. There was a small playground there and we played in it as if we were little kids. 
The following Sunday, we drove up to Yuba City to watch the annular eclipse. I made a pinjole projection box, but a man with his children who saw us on the side of the road, gave us a plastic film that helped us see the eclipse better. It was a very nice afternoon eating cherries while watching the eclipse, and I'm glad to have shared it with Cody.
