I know it has been almost 1 month since I have posted. I have been sooo busy and so out of it lately. So, where do I even start....
Parties....We started off by having the youth group over and going to Knotts Scary Farm. That was fun-but tiring. We had them play this game in the pool and they had to get everyone across and only 3 could operate the "boat" and this one couldn't be left with that one and vice versa. They actually figured it out in about 1/2 hour. I was surprised. But, they seemed to have fun. It was freezing that morning and the pool was COLD!
*Side Note: I have been waiting to post this until my laptop is working again so I can post pictures. No such luck so far. As soon as I can I will post the pictures*
We then had Jimmy's Birthday Weekend. He turned 50 so we went to Santa Monica for the weekend. We stayed in a beautiful Marriott hotel. We had both rooms right next to each other and back sliding doors that walked out right in front of the pool. Of course my camera died so I don't have any hotel pictures. But, their pool was HUGE and they had this Tiki Hut in the middle with all these comfy couches and a fire in the middle at night. It was really nice and relaxing. We went to Malibu for dinner. We ate at Gladstone's. It is right on the beach. Here are 2 pictures I took before my camera died.
This brings me to my next title-
Fires-one of the first fires that started was in Malibu right where we had dinner, 2 days before! They are up to some 1,000 homes destroyed. Too sad. The Malibu fire was actually set by a down phone pole. But, 2 or 3 others were arson. Crazy. Jimmy's sister lives in Ramona (San Diego) they were asked to evacuate and they wouldn't. The firefighters told them that if they didn't leave now, then they wouldn't come back to get them. No matter how worse it got. Thankfully, their house was safe. The smoke and air is so bad where we are. We have ash falling at my house and work. I could not imagine how bad it is AT the fire. We are at least an hour away from the closest fire. And then last Friday I woke up to no power. All of Riverside and San Bernardino had no power. It started to come on slowly here and there. The only good thing out of that was no work :)
And now the
Baby! Yes, I am pregnant. I am 10 weeks. Tim and I are excited. And especially our mom's. I have been sooo nauseaus-all day. I can't wait for the first trimester to be over! And extremely tired!! And one of the worse things. The smell of my kitchen and car make we want to throw up! I have to roll all my windows down when I get in my car. I don't like the smell of leather normally and now I really don't like the smell. My due date is June 2nd and I just found out my step-sister is due June 4th. Too funny.
Next up... Holy Ghost Town- I will be at church today, tomorrow, and all day Wednesday to set up for our event. I hope it turns out like I picture it in my head!
