-Jim had the opportunity to go to Austin, TX for three weeks to assist with claims after a bad hail storm. Maddux and I managed to survive, as did Jim, working 12 hour days for three weeks, but are glad to have him back home. He's ecstatic to not have to live out a suitcase anymore or eat every meal out.
Maddux loves lucky the longhorn...her gift from Jim-One of the nice things about having Jim away for three weeks is that I was able to feed my twilight addiction without him giving me a bad time. This led to many late nights, followed by sleepy days at work. My friend Nicole is also hooked on the Twilight Saga and I spent one evening watching Twilight with her and her husband while our puppies played. We both can't wait for "New Moon" to come out in November.
-I spent Easter with my family in Bakersfield and was able to watch Elijah take part in his first Easter egg hunt. He was soo cute. They said "ready, set, go" and Elijah took off running, throwing his basket down. He thought he was in a race! Once he realized he was suppose to be grabbing eggs, he made up for lost time and was picking them up two at a time.
even the puppies had an Easter basket :)-Jen and Elijah came to San Diego to visit for a weekend, along with her two dogs Duke and Maggie (Maddux's mom and dad). Needless to say, it was a full house at my parents with Maddux and I joining them for the weekend as well. I know I say it all the time, but after spending time with Jen and Elijah, I wish they were closer. We were able to meet up with my friend Andrea and her son Corban so that Elijah could have a play date.
-My mom and I made a trip in the middle of March to Bakersfield to visit family. I realized it had been almost five months since I had seen my grandmas. I want to do my best to see them as often as possible since I don't know when I might no longer have the choice. To see their faces light up and get a great big hug, makes me wish I lived closer and could see them more often.
-For my friend Vivian's birthday, we had a girls weekend at Disneyland. We were able to be kids again and spend some quality time together making many memories. It was a great weekend with two awesome friends!
