We are sooooo popular!!


SeaPort Village



Poway Train Park



Cresent Bay Beach Park

We LOVE having visitors!! In the past week, we got to visit with my little brother Tommy, my sister Mandy and her friend, and my mom and some of her family. We went to the beach a number of times, swimming, out to dinner too many times to count, shopping, Sea Port Village, rode a train, rode a carousel, went to OC, visited Sea World, finished up some projects I've been wanting to do for years, and fit in a couple late night movies.

The hard thing about being surrounded by family for a week and a half is when they all leave to go home, I always get a bit homesick. As I was driving back home from the airport after dropping off my mom, I was torn inside. The weather outside was a perfect 74 and the beach was to our right. The sun was shining and the sky was a beautiful shade of blue. I thought to myself--which is better--"To live in this beautiful paradise without family nearby (as in the same city), or to have my girls know their relatives better and live somewhere where I don't enjoy the weather about 80% of the time?" This is the million dollar question...... But, for the meantime, I'll just enjoy the beach and perfect weather and open our house to all visitors.

Matt's mom has been saying a lot recently that she wants to move to Hawaii and open up a scooter rental place. But, she said she would only go if we all came with her. Maybe we should do something like that?

The only one more torn was me when I got on the plane! I miss my little girls and their sweet mom! Sorry I missed you this time Mark. But we sure had fun! How's the dresser doing
? Or do we need to paint again! Love you all!
