Back

Jack and I got back late last night from Portland. The trip was not as I expected but I still got a little r-n-r in. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I spent dealing with some serious drama at my house even though I was 2 states away which was hard to do remotely. My mom and I spent most of the time just hanging out. We did end up going through my old room that she has turned into a shrine of teddy bears and Adam/Mark's old room that is the spare bedroom. Also, I successfully adjusted all 30 of her wall clocks to all say the same time and all actually work. Jack also got to do alot of running around the yard without me worrying about him running into the street or anything. He chased mom's dog around most the time and even got to feed the llama and goats! We also went and visited Joe a few times and he was doing great despite having 1/3 of his kidney removed and a 30in. incision. He was able to come home on Sunday which was 2 days earlier than the doctor had originally expected. I also went and visited Reita one day (Joe's mom) and Jack loved her house and her! He was a real flirt and danced for us and showed off. On Monday mom had to go back to work so Micah came and picked us up and I spent the day with her and Cade until it was time to go to the airport. Didn't get to see my Dad or Tina which I was disappointed in but oh well. Overall, I was truly sad to go. I miss Washington and all that it is with the fall weather and the colors changing and just the simplicity of it all there. We are back in the OC now and I already feel the hussle and bussle beginning to reel me in....help!
