Week 7

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  I hope everyone had a nice long weekend.  For me it came at just the right time giving me a much needed break from the very busy start of the new year.  Work has been pretty insane with so many people so driven to start new projects all at the same time.  Hopefully the mad rush is coming to an end and we can all settle into a more comfortable pace for the rest of the year. 

Until then here are last week's pictures that include a more hearts, whole lot of spring, a bit of dreaming, and a quick trip thrown in:

Day 45 - Monday, 2/14/22

Happy Valentine's Day!  Since we already celebrated yesterday by going out today we stayed in enjoying pizza, champagne, and dessert.

Day 46- Tuesday, 2/15/22

Here are some pretty red flowers blooming in the backyard and some yummy chocolates in the house.  See's made special heart shaped candies for this Valentine's season and we love them.

Day 47- Wednesday, 2/16/22

We are having another great weather week with a lot of sunshine bringing on more spring flowers.  The pool area is coming back to life again.  Later after school and work Brandon and I flew to San Diego.  He has Thursday through Monday off from school so it was the perfect time to take a quick college tour trip down south.  John stayed back to work and watch the pets.

Day 48- Thursday, 2/17/22

We were excited to find a Breakfast Republic right between our hotel and the first school to tour.  Yum!  Then we toured San Diego State and UC San Diego before driving north a bit to Cal State Long Beach which just so happens to be close to Brandon's online girlfriend of over a year.  It was fun to see them meet in person for the first time and then to get to know eachother even better over dinner with her parents.

Day 49- Friday, 2/18/22

Today we hit up 2 more schools-- Cal State Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona.  After that we had a good chunk of time to kill before our flight home so we took in a movie.  Our flight to head home took off just after dark.  Bye-bye city lights.  I won't miss the traffic or the parking craziness, but I know Brandon will be missing his girlfriend.

Day 50- Saturday, 2/19/22

Back at home I was surprised to see our tree out front had bloomed while we were gone.  It was also nice to be back and still have 3 days off to spend at home before heading back to the grind.  I was able to finally finish my 2022 goals in the bullet journal and love the way these pages turned out.  Bella and I also took a nice long walk spying yellow dandelions here and there.  Feels more like March than February.

Day 51- Sunday, 2/20/22

Last week I booked our summer anniversary trip to Greece!! And I have been collecting items I need for the trip so I decided to take a quick picture of my collection. We can't wait to do some international travel again.  For Sunday dinner John made a tasty tri-tip roast with all the fixings as we caught up with Tyler who we missed last week.  He was recently promoted at Curative and is now in charge of his own COVID testing site in Elk Grove at Calif. Northstate University.  He started last week so it was nice to hear how it's all going with his own team of 3.

That's it!  Hope to see you back next week as we start to wrap up this month.
