Update from Southern California

Well, I made it to Riverside Thursday night, I flew into Ontario with 1 quick stop in Sacto. I found out that night when my mom picked me up from the airport that we wouldn't be spending my first night at my sisters because she had the flu! I was so bummed, I wanted to hang out with my sister so bad, but I couldn't risk getting sick with only 6 more weeks of school left. Friday I went as saw my old co-workers at Lewis, good to see you all. Then that evening my mom and I decided to pick up my nieces and let have them stay the night (hoping they hadn't picked up the flu virus and brought it along with them). My mom and I took them to Color me Mine that night and we all painted, Hailey and Hannah loved it!!! On Saturday we surprised the girls with a trip to Knotts Berry Farm, it was a blast! We took thenm home Saturday night, and I hung out with my sister for a bit since I miss her SOO much and she seemed to be feeling a tad better. It was sad to bye, but I'll be coming for more visits and more often. Today my mom is taking me shopping, and then around 1 I am meeting with my friend Tiffany and her husband for lunch. I am so happy to see her, I haven't seen her since 2005 and I miss her so much!! Tonight I tink I'll be hanging out with and old high school friend, Christy, and probably go grab coffee or something. Then tomorrow my mom, grandma and I will go have an early lunch before they drop me off at the airport.

I am so happy I was able to make this spur or the moment trip. I was so good to see everyone and it really helped me sort things out as to where I see myself for the next couple years. As much as I miss my friends and family, Portland is home for now. Eventually I'd love to move back down, especially when I begin my own family but when we do I'd like to live in either the Huntington/Newport/Irvine areas or in San Diego, this way it'll give us a good amount of time to save so we can afford to live in areas like that. I have also decided I wont be taking the pastry chef position at Harrah's in San Diego, I don't know how I thouhgt I could be away from Vince for 6 weeks! So it's back to square one and I'm on the hunt for a job again.

Anyways when I get back home (to a computer that up to date, unlike my mom and dads dinosaur) I will load pictures of my trip. Hope all is well with everyone, take care.
