Last week was a very social week for us. Monday I spent the entire day with my friend Monica. Tuesday I worked in George's classroom (for the last time, which was of course sad) and had a playdate with several of his friends from school afterwards. Wednesday I spent the entire day at Lauren's pool with Maynell and her two.
What can I say, we had fun…
Thursday we went to school and then had a playdate with Evie. Look what George wore in front of the preachers daughter, no less! Boots and underwear. He's totally gonna hate this blog when he is 18!
Friday we did not do much because, well, I was exhausted, thats why. Today marked the end of our "due diligence" with the house we hope to live in when we move back to Raleigh. I spent many hours on the phone this week with our realtor and the bank and the inspectors,etc. Stressful but all is well. We continue to move in the right direction. To celebrate, we had our Pizza- Movie night and watched one of my personal favorites, 101 Dalmations. Saturday we had a birthday party at Garfield Park and George made a new friend. Its so hard because as much as I want to reach out to this woman and her sweet son who played so well with George, lets be honest, I will leave CA in less than a week and will not be back for a whole month and then I have to figure out a way to say goodbye to all the people I already feel like are my family. I don't need one more heartbreak! After the birthday party our little family of three helped ourselves to the Cannon's pool since we were technically dog sitting for them. We had salsa and chips and beers and just lazed around like we owned the place. It was awesome.
We put little George down around 7 and big George went out for sushi for the two of us and we rented a movie on iTunes. Sunday was one of the best days I've had in a while. For starters, I had a great run. Then church was simply amazing. The sermon was "The Big Wedding". I will try to remember to add a link to the sermon once it is posted. It was that good!
A friend joined me in church and I was thrilled to have her there. The sermon really spoke to her as well. After church big George decided that he must visit the campus of USC since his program is affiliated with the University. He is a Trojan, and so we, his family are also Trojans. Fight on. We went to the gift store to get Georgie a jersey and I got a pair of sweatpants. I love them but have not been able to wear them out of the house yet because they are maroon. Its just weird, you know? I am not used to such a dark shade of cotton on my body. I'm more of a light blue kinda girl….
Georgie took this photo! Good job buddy!
Fight on!
I've never seen this on UNC's campus!
My two cuties!
Then, we went to Chinatown and ate Chinese food. Yes, friends and family that know me well, I ATE CHINESE FOOD! A whole plate of it. Started with vegetable dumplings, then a crazy chicken dish in a tortilla type "pancake" and then slippery shrimp which is fried shrimp with a honey sauce, sweet and hot, all over them. This is a huge thing for me. Maybe I will be able to explain a little better in a different post. It was delicious. My mom once told me, "Becca, you say you don't like Chinese food but its like saying you don't like Mexican food when you've only eaten at Taco Bell". Wow, was she right. She usually is. Chinese food, done up right, is GOOD. Dang good.
Sunday night I went to a play with some friends from church. One of our friends performed in Godspell with a bunch of college students. It was amazing. She was amazing! Other than the main character (the guy who played Jesus), she blew everyone else out of the water. I was really proud and glad I decided to make an effort to come see her perform. Everyone here is talented in some way. If they are not singers, they are actors or artists, or all three!!
This past week has been slightly less social. Monday I cleaned the house- lets just say it was much needed. Monday night George and I watched Evie so her parents could have a night out before their new baby arrives (due next week). Tuesday we went to school and I watched Cole and Lena for an hour. I was paid in strawberries, which you know is a perfectly fair trade if you know me. They were the good kind too, you know, the ones that ACTUALLY taste like strawberries! We spent the afternoon catching up with Lauren and Tac at the pirate park.
I love this series of pictures. He was quite high up and I was tempted to hold his hand or tell him to get down, but instead- out came the camera. Good mom or bad mom…you be the judge.
Wednesday we packed the car and headed to Anaheim for our last Disney trip! Our yearly passes block us out in June. Georgie didn't seem to mind, but I was on the verge of tears all day. There were some special memories made at that place!
Check back for some photos of our day!
