Catching Up

I am playing catch up on this blog because a lot has been going on and I have not taken the time to post any of it. So here we go...
This is us in Ventura after Glen's memorial service. We thought it would be good to get away for the afternoon after a long couple of weeks.

My sweet husband snapped a picture of what he found at the table on the morning of his birthday. I know it doesn't look fancy but I thought he would like it. He said when he was younger for his birthday his mom would always let him pick out his favorite cereal to have that week. Golden Grahams is his favorite so I thought we would stick to tradition. The little pieces of paper are 28 reasons of why I love Andrew which were very easy to think of. He constantly gives me reasons to love him!
We got to escape the chaos of summer and get away a few weekends ago before seminary classes started. We headed down to Irvine to relax. We slept, ate, shopped, and swam. It was the most relaxing thing we had done all summer.
We also took this little trip to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. It is not until September but it is hard to get away once the semester starts. We went out for a special dinner our last night there and of course we had to eat dessert. Can you tell how excited I am to eat that thing???
We stayed at the Westin in Irvine and we found out shortly before we went that they are known for their heavenly beds. Well when we first walked in the room we could totally tell what they meant. It looked so comfy and clean and fluffy but by the end of the weekend we agreed that you should only have that much down in your comforter if you are in a cabin in the snow with only a fire place to heat you up. It was a bit hot but we enjoyed it for a little while.

Soon to come...pictures of Andrew's birthday party.
