TeddyPuppy at work and California pictures

Finally, the moment my mother has been waiting for: a picture post!

TeddyPuppy Goes to Work
For several days in my last week at the Deseret News, I brought a friend to fill the empty chair my friend and fellow intern Michelle left behind (she left a week before I did). I made him a tie out of newspaper so he could be properly dressed for the work:

On the day I took this picture, the lady sitting next to me on the bus spied him in my backpack and commented on how cute he was. She asked if she could take a picture of him to send to her kids, who are all grown and apparently still own stuffed animals too, and then proceeded to tell me all about her three pet dogs at length. It was a fun conversation.

The few California pictures I took...

TeddyPuppy shows off the new glasses Jennifer made for him in California, posing next to one of my journalism textbooks.

Lucille's: Jennifer's favorite barbeque place. It was a little pricy because it was nice, but it was good.

Me, Jennifer and Jen's friend Sara H., who came with us to Lucille's

I toted TeddyPuppy around with me like a baby when Jen and I toured the Jelly Belly Factory. I'm sure there were some people who thought that was odd, but I did it anyway.

Basically, Jen and I's week in Cali was GREAT! Her parents were really generous in letting me stay with them and including me in the yummy, yummy, delicious food they cooked. :) Mmm.
