our car (the silver one) is having some troubles. some kind of battery charging issue, which we haven't had much of a chance to diagnose. (enter big sigh here).
in other, more positive news, we are moving up a league in basketball! this means more competition & more intense games. we are excited! and we play our second game of the softball season tonight. go amigos! (that's our team name).
we went on a hike this evening. it was great to get out a bit. here is a panorama of the view from the top. **click me!!** if you're able to zoom in on the image then i'd recommend doing so (roll over the image, and a zoom icon should appear. if it doesn't, don't worry about it).

last night neal and i went rappelling with mark, tommy, and peter (some of neal's co-workers). we went to rubio canyon, only about 30 minutes from our place. it was our first rappel experience, and it was fun. i will admit that i was very nervous at first, but once i got on the rope and trusted it to hold my weight, it was easy from there on out. we started at the highest waterfall (80 feet), and continued down through a series of 5 additional waterfalls of varying heights. all in all it was a great trip.
here i am towards the bottom during our final rappel:
i don't have a pic of neal yet, but will post one once i do.
