Jade's Electric Lemonade Parade: What have I been up to?

Bullet points seem most appropriate for this summary post:

I almost forgot - we moved! Lake Merritt, in Oakland. I'm carpooling to work and we end up driving to the city every other night for something or another.
Eric and I went to Mammoth Mountain for a few days of snowboarding during his Spring Break. We stayed at a really awesome hostel (Davison Guest House) which I highly recommend! The snow was great the first day and it was super windy/icy the following day.

I saw my friend Kjersti, who is finishing up her third year of medical school. She's thinking about going into emergency medicine. Before that, she was thinking about surgery (which is sort of where I'm leaning). And she really enjoyed her psych rotation in Santa Barbara.

My neice turned 3 years old! I get to see her in May!

Eric's band, Goodbye Nautilus, played their first show at the Retox Lounge in Portrero Hill. The show was really fun, they had a lot of energy and they sounded really tight.

I took a motorcycle training class!!!! This was the highlight of April! We had one day in a classroom and 2 days out on the "range", driving motorcycles! I think I picked it up pretty fast. Extremely thrilling. I'm not gunna go out and buy a bike, but it's just something I had wanted to do for a long time. I'm hoping to rent a bike while I'm in Europe.

I saw Hot Chip at the fillmore! Phil and I danced to the groovy beats of this amazing band.

Went camping in Santa Cruz. Realized my sleeping bag is too warm! The night of camping was flanked on either side by 2 goodbye nautilus shows!

On the Agenda for May: I have 2 days left of work. I've been scrambling to train my coworkers on a technique that they probably should have learned 6 months ago....but oh well. Jen's hosting a movie night (Reality Bites!) tomorrow and Friday is a work lunch at Red Robin! Eric's made some plans for the weekend, in honor of six years together. It's a surprise! And it better be good because he completely forgot last year. I'm taking my permit test for the motorcycle, and finally flying to Savannah on May 5th.

Here's a visual re-cap:
