Hi everyone! As I s-l-o-w-l-y re-adjust to life back in the good ole US.. of A (which, given that I have never lived here, can't find any of my clothes in the apartment, the fact that California drivers abominable driving skills, and I am uber dependent on my GPS/husband to get me anywhere, is surprisingly more difficult than I expected), I wanted to still take the time to update everyone to prove that I am still in fact alive and kickin'.... I'll try to do a blog a day til I get back up to speed.The past few days have brought the return back to work (boo hiss!), a few trips back to the NIMITZ to move my stuff off, the delivery of 35+ pounds of laundry (which, if you're trying to get an idea of how much 35 lbs of laundry is, it completely fills the trunk of your standard 2009 Honda Civic) from deployment to Posh Wash (our local fluff 'n' fold) for a much-needed 24 hour turnaround on all of my laundry, a major holiday Passover (our first newlywed holiday finally!) and a lot of organizing and Yogurtland.
They've also brought not one, but TWO rounds of margaritas (which if you know me, you know I love a good marg!).
The first round came on Friday night at a fantastic restaurant in Old Town, San Diego. While I didn't drink this whole pitcher myself, I did enjoy the performance by the mariachi band that Dan called over to play for our table.
The second round of margaritas came on Saturday afternoon when I received a call that I had a flower delivery from a local florist and would I be available for delivery that afternoon. You can imagine my excitement (I audibly squealed) when I opened the door to see this bouquet? glass? pitcher? of margarita shaped flowers from a group of wonderful, thoughtful, sweet and caring Chi Omegas. The gals were in Vegas this last weekend (I was obviously a little booked this weekend & couldn't make it) but we were still able to share a good marg (figuratively, I suppose) together, despite the distance. Thank you Bridgee, Lizzy B, molls & Noodle- I'm so grateful to have such wonderful friends as you- thank you for thinking of me and can't wait to hear stories of your trip to Vegas!
we do love you! i know that the flowers were also from austin, pember, and tiggie so feel EVEN more loved! remember to allow yourself to have time outs :)
