Well I wrote a post before leaving on our trip to California but scrapped the whole thing. Just not feeling the whole blogging thing these days, I guess with so much else going on in my life, I have to let some things go. I still read blogs on my phone everyday when at work, because so much of the time it's so freaking boring...

We had a good trip down to Santa Barbara for Terry's parent's 50th anniversary. Finally met her two brothers, youngest sister, and mom. They did a family portrait as the big present to them, and it was decided that I should be included in it, which I thought was very nice. A couple of Terry's sisters asked her if she thought I'd still be around in three years, and that was the deciding factor I guess, ha! (I'll throw the photos up on my FB page for those who know me there) I also was able to see my sister for the first time in a year and a half, and she met Terry for the first time as well.

We're still trying to finish off the backyard, but the weather isn't cooperating at all. Lots of rain and cool temps, a trend I predict will carry through the summer.

Continuing the theme of my last post, it was sad to read of two more deaths. First a blogger (Rob aka Mutley) who died in his sleep, then I read on a friends FB page of a friend of hers that died of a massive heart attack not even a half hour after she had spoken with him on the phone. He was only 44, and Rob was 46. Both so young. It serves as a reminder to go out and do the most with everyday we get, because you just never know when you'll run out of them...
