Just some snippets from life lately that moves way

Just some snippets from life lately that moves way too fast. I didn’t even get the first day of school pictures up. We have a Jr, a Freshman and a 5th grader, and I started my second year teaching. Abbey made the girls tennis team, which she very much enjoyed. Abbey also got her first job, she works with Jude (and most of her friends and they love it) it’s weird how you have less time as kids become more independent. I thought it would be the other way around, but honestly I think we kind of love it. Less time for social media more time for life.

My mom, sister and I went back to a home I miss up

My mom, sister and I went back to a home I miss up in the San Juan Islands for my grandfathers memorial service. We had a wonderful time being able to get together and see so many family members. (It had been a hot minute) I love how family can pick right back up without missing a beat even after 16 years.

Oh California, you were an adventure. I couldn’t

Oh California, you were an adventure. I couldn’t even fit all the highlights in one post. We beach hopped down the CA coast, found a new favorite at El Captain beach. We explored tide pools saw sea life, walked with giants in the redwoods, and even walked on suspended bridges between the redwoods at Trees of mystery. We defied gravity at the mystery spot, and fell in love with many small seaside towns. The girls experienced big city chaos in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. They will pass on both and stick to the beaches and peace. We had an absolutely amazing time and I highly recommend a fly by the seat of your pants coast trip to anyone.

A big bucket list item for me was driving the west

A big bucket list item for me was driving the west coast. It made me super nervous (since if you know me you know I am planner)but, we booked airfare to Portland, our return flight 8 days later in LA and a rental car and that’s it. We decided it should be a choose your own adventure trip. We even picked up an actual paper map. So far it’s been amazing. We have beach hopped down the coast. Stopped in adorable small towns, ate award winning pie, shopped cute little stores, and walked a boardwalk or two. Not to mention we have been in complete awe of the beauty of the coast. We just passed into California for the second and longest chunk of our journey. So goodbye Oregon, we loved every minute. (Ps no Jude isn’t with us he is at the “I’d rather stay home and work” phase, so it was the girls turn for an adventure)

The past few days have been a blast. It’s not ev

The past few days have been a blast. It’s not everyday you can bring your 10 year old back stage to hang with the band. But when the band is this kind, this amazing, and this sweet, it was a pleasure! @bensonboone you are simply the best! Love you, your band, your family, your friends and @nickyyoure . We loved being your “groupies”! It was a surreal experience and we are sad it’s over. 😘
