There has been alot of changes since my last post: a move to Round Rock, TX which is about 25 minutes north of downtown Austin, new job for Spence, new ward, new friends, two growing boys and a whole lot more. I will do my best to catch you all up to speed : ) Less than a week after my last post I went out to California to see one of my best friends Heather Howard get married in Soquel, CA. Spence drove out even though he could literally only stay two days but we were ready for a road trip and I knew I could not make a twelve hour drive with an infant and toddler. The drive went surprisingly well and I enjoyed good tunes and great conversations with my husband. We stayed in Hollister with Jason the first two nights because my parents were showing their house. Stone literally threw up all over Spence right before he was going to get dressed for the wedding and he had a crazy high fever. It can be pretty scary when Stone has fevers because his body does not fight them very well with his condition. We stress dosed him and he just wanted to take a nap with Daddy. So Becky was so awesome to be my date for the wedding. Unfortunately I missed the whole ceremony but was there in time for toasts and reception...better late than never. Heather looked gorgeous and it was so great to see her family. Then on Sunday we had a big family dinner with 4/6 kids and it was such a blast to get together and laugh and see how much my nieces and nephews have grown...that is my heaven being with my family. I wish we could all get together more. It rained about 16/23 days I was there so no beach days for us, although the days I went to Monterey and S.F. it was gorgeous. I got to see some good friends, and I kind of was more of a homebody because my parents sold their house in Almaden while I was staying there. I felt very nostalgic the whole time I was there just so many memories so much growth and love in that house. Just knowing it was the last time in my childhood home was so bittersweet but I know my parents are doing what feels right for them just like they tell us we need to do whats right for our family. Anyhow here are some pics from California.
