Work hard, play hard...

WAHOOOOO!!!!!!! D's first year of school is finished! I have mixed feelings about how quickly the time is going, but one thing I know for sure....I LOVE SUMMER BREAK!!! D finished his last final last Friday morning and it has been non stop fun ever since. He came home, and we headed up to my family's house for my little sister's high school graduation. A member of my family has been attending that high school for the last 15 years! Not anymore. On Saturday, my sweet, over due pregnant sister called and offered to watch A so D and I could have a date day. We were all hoping that A would put her into labor. No such luck. However, D and I had a great day. We shopped at Nordstrom, ate lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe (I LOVE their California grill sandwich...the bread it is made on tastes like Sizzler cheese bread, need I say more?), and then went to see the The Waitress. It was such a fun day. Thank you so much Aunt Mimi. We finished off our prefect day with going to dinner with D's parents. A was so sleepy from her fun day with Aunt Mimi, Memor and Fafa, that she fell asleep on the way home.

Congrats Aunt Das! We are so proud of you!

On Sunday we had our good friends over for dinner and to play games. I am so sad I don't have a picture. We have been playing games with J and K for the last three years. We would have dinner nights, movie night and game nights with them quite a bit and now they are moving away. It was a sad night. I am so happy for them, but so sad for us.

Yesterday my first niece was born. It was such a perfect day. (See other post) We celebrated D's birthday with his family last night. D's cousin, his wife and kids are visiting from Southern CA so they were able to join us. His wife and I took a dance class together in college (the last one I took before my one here in SF) and we randomly ended up marrying cousins! I love her. We have such a great time together. We went through some nursing school classes together, and she is why I am sane today! She let me draw her blood for the very first time. That is a true friend!

Today D's cousin, wife and kids came to hang out with us here in good 'ol SF. We went to Mama's for breakfast which inevitably means it will be a good day. We then took the kids to the Discovery Museum. The little girls are only six weeks apart and it was so cute watching them together. They loved each other and were so sweet together. While they kids napped, our fabulous husbands insisted that go shopping! We headed to Nordstom, Forever 21 and H&M...the one time that we can go shopping and there wasn't ONE thing for both of us! I found a dress for D's upcoming white coat ceremony, but poor Meg couldn't find anything. Ironic isn't it? Like Alanis Morissette said, "It's like rain on your wedding day, it's a free ride ride when you've already paid..." I would like to add one..."It's like when your husbands are home watching your babies and you are with your great friend you only get to see once a year and both of your husbands really wanted you to buy something for yourself, and there is nothing really cute to buy!" Sing about that Ms. Morisette.
Anyway, we brought home some Indian food and then took the kids for a walk. It was such a fun day!

I love summer break!
