Parzens okay after Mexico quake

A quick fyi… Just spoke to mama Judy and heard earlier from brothers Tad and Micah. All the San Diego Parzens are okay after the earthquake that hit Mexicali yesterday and aftershocks. Mom said that vases rattled on her coffee table, her front door got jammed, and elevators were out for a while in her building. But everyone is okay, thank goodness. One lady in her building said a chandelier fell from the ceiling but no one was hurt. Thank goodness.

Someday Tracie B will be is now Tracie P!

An earthquake struck San Diego early Monday morning but Tracie P and me didn’t have anything to do with that… ;-)

How could our wedding be complete without ceviche at Bahia in Bird Rock? That’s where we had our rehearsal dinner.

Only one of the Texans present had ever had a camaronilla. Guess which one! ;-)

We were geeked to share the Bahia experience with best man Alfonso and SO Kim.

Brother Tad gave a toast, welcoming the Branch/Johnson family to La Jolla.

Uncle Terry “preached” to the choir and welcomed me to the Texas family.

We love Bahia for the view, we love Bahia for the “ambiance,” and the food is always good. But when Dora is in the kitchen, it’s our favorite.

“De parte de tu restaurante favorito,” wrote my friend Roberto who works there, “les deseamos mucha felicidad y realmente todos estamos muy contentos por ustedes. Felicidades.”

I wrote this post on the plane. We’re in NYC on our way to Italy! Stay tuned…
