California

So, everyone is talking about getting ready to go to California and I am starting to get really excited. I think that it will turn out to be either one of the nicest time we've had in a long time...or a complete disaster. I don't think their will be any middle ground. There will be so many of us in such a small house, and we have so many things to do. I really think that it will turn out great! I am already praying for good weather when we go to Santa Cruz. Last summer when we went with Laura and her kids the first day was AMAZING! The second day, not so great, so I am hoping with all I have to hope with, that it is like the first day. I am really excited to see everyone again. I haven't seen my brothers kids since we went to Canada I think 2 years ago. What I am excited most about is the fact that I think this is the first time we are all getting together "just because". I know that Christopher is leaving to go back east and that is the main reason we are getting together but we aren't getting together because we have a wedding or because we have something we HAVE to do. We are getting together just to play and have fun. I am so excited (just in case I haven't said that enough yet). I am just sorry that my husband won't be able to join us. He enjoys my family and really wishes he could be there. I think that he would have a lot of fun, but he'll be able to go next year to the Richins family reunion so that will have to do. Well, I've got to go put Austin down for a nap so that will have to be all for now.
