August Brought Major Changes

I don't know what prompted me to, but in early August, I found myself filling out an online application to go back to school. Within a week, after prayer and a lengthy conversation with my mother, I had put in my two week notice at my job. My last day was exciting, but sad as I said goodbye to my darling friend/coworker Lindsey. Just one of the amazing people who I feel are in my life by no accident.


Just days after my last day of work, the Kiddo and I headed to California to see my family. For the first time in his life, we took the Airport Bus from SFO up to Sonoma County. He was GLUED to the window for about an hour, watching Golden Gate park and the Bridge fly by before falling asleep in my lap.


The reason for our trip? My baby sister's baby!
Little Addison arrived August 14th and is just as precious as could be!

Along with other fun, the Kiddo went with Pop Pop, Uncle Clay and his cousin Cash to the Sonoma County Air Show. He came home with a toy airplane that you'll rarely find him without.

I was able to have a wonderful reunion with my friend Emily. We met on the school bus in Junior High and spent many class periods, days, hand written notes and Friday night sleepovers as teenagers being a little more than crazy.
It's been 15 years, but nothing has changed.
Through a series of random events, we found ourselves hopping on Bart and heading to a Giant's game. Em is a much bigger fan than I, but it was SO much fun! Did you know that the seagulls come out EVERY game in the 7th inning? Neither did I, but it's true. What a wonderful trip!

We headed home and jumped into a completely different life back in Utah. Well, not much has changed for the Kiddo I suppose, but it sure has for me! I'm going to school for half the day, working part time at a massage school (perks? OH YEAH!), playing volleyball twice a week, an institute class once a week, homework nightly, as well as something that resembles a social life occasionally.
