SoCal

I got back on Friday from a wonderful trip to SoCal where I saw family and friends. Dom and I got in late on the 7th and just kicked back on Saturday with the family and their amazing pool and then on Friday we went to a beautiful wedding by the beach. I don't know if any of you Biola people know the couple, Allison Remmington and Joey Ross. It was really fun to see all of Dom's old roommates and their girlfriends. We had a really great time. That Monday Dom and I spent some more time by the pool and then it was time to say goodbye to my wonderful husband. He had to go back home that day in order to be back to work on Tuesday. As a special treat though my dad, who is getting his pilot's license, flew Dom to the nearby International Airport in Ontario for his connecting flight. Dom said he had a lot of fun and was only nervous in the beginning. He is a brave man.

That night with the husband gone, I had some of the girls come over for a sleepover. Taylar, Stephanie and Brooke all spent the night. It was so fun staying up late and talking about our lives and friends and Twilight. That next morning was filled with doughnuts and hugs as I said goodbye to the girls. The rest of that day was so lazy. Wednesday morning was a movie with mom, The Proposal and then she dropped me off at Brooke's house. It was so nice to hang out with her all day. She was leaving early that next morning so this was the last time we would get to hang out until she comes and visits me in September.....hopefully she comes to visit. That Thursday was shopping with mom which was amazing and the pool. Friday we left early to take me to the national office of my parents company for me to see first hand the products I order for our patients and then I was off to the airport to go home to my husband.

Now when I would come and visit Dom while we were dating It would just be heaven when I saw him and we would try and stay out as long as we could so we could be alone together before we went back to his house. It was so nice to be able to be alone the whole night. I was so happy to see him again and to be able to have a whole night alone with him. When we got home I opened the door to a super clean apartment. The night before, after we got off the phone at midnight, he vacuumed, cleaned the kitchen and took out the trash. He is just too good to be true.

That next day we went to the river with some friends and then we picked up my baby. :) He is so big! I could hardly believe how much he had grown in only a week. I was so happy to be back with my little family even though I had such a wonderful time at home. Everything is better with Dom around though. :)

Wait wait, this post is too amazing: pool? pilot's license?! doughnuts?!? AND Twilight?!?!?

Let's start at the beginning. The pool is finished!! Yeah! I bet your brothers love that. And Tug, in fact. I'm super jealous your dad is getting his pilot's license, I've always wanted to do that. How long has he been working at it? You know how I love me some doughnuts. Oh, for Granny's Doughnuts again after church. Twilight... there is nothing else that need be said.

Too good to be true, this spectacular visit home of yours.
