I have been so bad at this, guys. Sorry.

I am currently at a tea house, alone….by myself. This hasn’t happened for about 6 months now, which has just made me realize, I need more nights like these. The husband is with the baby at home, and here I am preparing for a big day coming up. I needed some time to prepare so I am at a local tea house “focusing”.

Which means, I finally have chance to squeeze in a few minutes to log into here. I can’t believe summer is slowly coming to an end, and quite honestly, I have been dreading this summer heat and anxiously waiting for cooler fall weather.

Life as of lately, busy. David is now closer to home; he was able to lateral over to our home town, we are still slowly adjusting to his new schedule and make all this working parent while taking care of a baby thing work again. Change is always hard but always do-able. Here’s June at her Dad’s swearing in:

June turned 2. Yes, two! I still can’t believe it. Today she spoke of a sentence we’ve never heard her say before. She said, “Daddy what you doing?” while David was cleaning up the garage. David and I just looked at her and laughed because she is surprising us every single day. She is still so mischievous but such a joy. We love her so much.

Home updates, I finally found a dining table I felt was worth paying for. And so because that new dining table will be going into the sun room, I am in the process of painting the walls. I am currently still trying to find the perfect white (currently a beige color now). Also, David tore the built in shelves in the garage that came with the house. After more than 2 years, I think our house is slowly becoming a home.

Lastly, I had a significant loss in my life this summer, my grandmother passed away. There are no words to explain a loss like this. It still feels unreal to me that I will never be able to see her face again, I will miss her so much.

We had a great labor day weekend. I love my Monday holidays, because that means I always get a 4 day mini vacation. Here’s some photos of our beach trip.

Hoping to and looking forward to writing more here.

Over President’s Day weekend, we made plans to go to Pismo Beach for a short stay. When I use to work 12 hour night shifts, I would group may shifts together and have a stretch of 5 or 6 days off, which allowed for a spontaneous road trip if we decided. However since switching to an 8-5 job, it’s been much harder adjusting to having only a short amount of days off work. So when a holiday lands on a Monday and I get that weekend along with that Monday off…I am just about dying for a mini vacation….anywhere!

Its only February so I already imagined it being a little colder for a beach trip, it was cold indeed but the sun was out and so that made it bearable.

This was our first day here. Yes, we were wearing Jackets at the beach, the wind was crazy.

This was the second day, the weather was much more calm. June: “Ocean, I see you”

Such precious moments with these two, I love you guys.

And seriously, where did my baby go? She looks so grown up here!

And this here, is a reality photo. Us waiting in a long curving line at Splash Cafe on our first day, it was super windy, June was fussing and crying to get out of the stroller. I was worried she was gonna get hit by a car and trying to put her back into her stroller, her dad was clearly not worried, … snapping away.

I cannot wait until summer and the weather is warmer. June loves the beach SO much. She did not care sand was in her eyes or mouth. She was fearless of the ocean. And acted like it was 90 degrees outside when it was 56 degrees! We’ll see you soon, Pismo!
