Good Morning from So. Cal.
It's been a VERY busy few days...I've finally found a few moments to collect my thoughts!
Random thoughts:
Flying from coast to coast is a long a grueling process... From start to finish (our home to the hotel in GardenGrove, Ca.) it took us 12 hrs. give or take 10 min.
Jet lag SUCKS!
When you're trying to find your hotel late at night from your sisters house...
1. Don't wait 'til you're really, REALLY tired.
2. Don't try to read directions and drive.
3. Just because the left turn signal turns green you should under NO circumstances assume that it's time for you to enter the intersection if you're planning to go straight!
4. Don't assume that just because you ALMOST had an accident that you should've added that extra $9 a day insurance on the rental car... Be content in your decision that the company was just trying to rip you off.
5. You can convince your son that NOW you are fully awake and alert and NO you don't have to go back to your sisters house and sleep on the floor.
Nice hotels don't ALWAYS have glorious views.
Holding your sisters baby for the first time is HEAVEN!
Discovering that your incredibly beautiful 20 yr. old niece has the same sense of humor as you, will make you wish she didn't have to work so much during your visit.
Watching your 16 yr. old son enjoy making his 4 yr. old cousin giggle is an incredibly joyful experience.
Getting a picture of your niece snuggled up in the arms of your son while they're watching tv together makes your heart swell to enormous proportions.
Seeing your dad after many years... Greeting him with a hug so tight that it makes your arms ache... Can make every moment of anxiety and uncertainty leading up to the event disappear in an instant!
