home again, home again

well i'm home from CA. that was a fun trip! i know i was super busy & i really didn't relax much... but it was still vacation because i didn't have the kids with me & i knew i could relax because they were safe & sound with gary.  =) the main purpose of my trip was to check-in on my grandparents, see their attorney, get some stuff squared with their trust, that sort of thing. but.... since it was falling right at my birthday i got to mix in some fun! oh & lots of starbucks. LOL i really am glad to be home though. as homesick as i have been getting for CA, i realize that there are a lot of things i can have living here in NM that i just couldn't have in CA. being a stay at home mom is the most obvious & most important... the cost of living in CA is just so high that i would have to work, here it's not. we can absolutely get by on one income & that means so much more to me (& gary too!) than having starbucks everyday. <3
