Back to Reality

Well Vince and I got back from our trip to SoCal Sunday afternoon. It was good to be back to see the kitties, but man I missed home. The trip was great!

We took off around 5am on the 27Th and headed down to San Francisco. After we checked into out hotel and put Charlie and our luggage in the room Vince and I went out to dinner at Joe's Cable Car. We had this place on Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives, and figured it was a must try. The place it tiny and bright, neon signs were every where and random objects hung from the ceiling. Joe's is supposed to be known for their in house fresh ground chuck burgers. The atmosphere was fun, but the food was way over priced for what it was. After ordering 2 burgers, a small order of onion rings and an iced tea it came to $43! I understand this was S.F., but really I would have rather paid $43 for an In-N-Out burger at that moment, Joe's really wasn't all that. They were giving out free mugs that week for the Holiday so we at least got a little souviner =)

The next morning we took off for Ontario, we got in around 5 that evening. I hung out with Vince's parents for a bit and then my mom came and got me. Vince and I had already decided we would kind of go our separate ways back home, to make sure we got to do the things we wanted to do with our family and friends. Later Sunday night I ended back in Ontario because I had forgotten my mixer at Vince's parents house and would need it the next morning because I was going to be making pies with my nieces and nephew. I ended up just staying there that night, he had a much more comfortable bed then the "bed" I had, lol.

Monday my mom and I went out to my sisters house in Hemet. I baked a pie with each kid. Hailey and I made an apple pie, Hannah and I made a pumpkin pie and Caden and I made a chocolate cream pie. The day went so smooth, it was wonderful. I loved my special time with each of the kids, and I know they loved making pies with their Aunt B.

The rest of the week was mostly spent enjoying my time with family. I went and saw a few family friends and some friends, but mostly I was loving my time spent with family. New Years Eve we watched movies and stayed up late, well everyone but me. I fell asleep at 11 something, pathetic I know! I said good bye to my family on Thursday and went back to Ontario. Friday I got to see my great friend Jenny. I was so happy because she is pregnant and by the next time I see her in April she will have had her baby, Sage (possibly Saige). The night her and I went out to the Brandin' Iron in San Bernardino. Oh man I had such a blast, I didn't know many of the line dances but it was still so much fun!

I'm coming back at the end of April, hopefully for another week. My mom is getting tickets for the Stagecoach music festival in Coachella from a friends at work. Her friends son is the guy who runs both this show and the Coachella music festival show. I'm so excited!! I'm not sure which day we're going but I don't really care, both days there are awesome line ups! I've also started to prepare for my next trip, I'm going weekly to Dukes on Thursday nights. They have line dance lessons from 8-9, and then it's ladies night so it's free to get in. Eventually MJ, Mackenzie and a few others said they would join me but for now I'm just going solo and having so much fun learning these dances =) Last night I learned Slappin' Leather! I might even head over there tonight and learn Good Time.

I didn't get many pictures, lame I know. My sister sent me a bunch from our pie day so I'll have to stop being so lazy an upload them someday, hehe.
