Life has been kind of hectic, [...]

My family and I have always been big on surprises! For instance, last November we flew down to California and surprised my Mom’s longtime friend by showing up at her son’s wedding.

This past weekend (Nov. 10 – 13) we flew down to California to make a surprise guest appearance at a wedding of a longtime friend. They didn’t know we’d be coming. We received the invitation, marked “six” and sent it down to my Aunt and Uncle in San Diego for them to send back to the [...]

Posted in Vacation, Valentine's Day on February 26, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Tuesday was our final day of rest and relaxation before we entered back into the hustle and bustle of the real world. I wasn’t looking forward to returning to work but knew that this vacation couldn’t and wouldn’t last forever. Rats! Tuesday was also Valentine’s Day. Sure I enjoy Valentine’s Day as much as the [...]
