wow its been almost 2 months since i posted, there are a lot of things i meant to post but didn't for one reason or another (been busy with summer camp i think thats the biggest reason)

well lemme try for the start...

yes summer camp began which means more hours and very antsy kids. i work for about 6~8 hours compared to the 4 hours i used to (and 2 hours were 'planning' time) so it was a crazy overnight change. it was so bad i had to nap every day ofter work (lol). i got used to it... then...

paul's pre-deployment leave!

first we drove to san francisco. we drove up to wyoming, through utah (across the salt lake), through nevada (made a stop in tahoe), and across california. we dropped steve off in tracy, went to the jelly belly factory, met up with jill in oakland, met up with miko in casa de fruita, then we drove down to los angeles. it was the longest drive i ever been on... a total of 24 hours on the road out of 36. it wasn't all that bad at all seeing friends of old along the way.

a lot of leave was spent with family. then there was the ride home.

i must admit, the I-70 through the rockies must have been the most beautiful stretch of interstate i have ever driven through. it follows the colorado river in a magnificent curb. i fell more in love with colorado.



then i came home to 5 kittens! kitty kat has now been renamed to momma kitty.
