I'm back!

We got home late this afternoon. After a full week in San Diego....I am exhausted. We had an incredible time. I'll write more after a day (or 2) of sleep!

Until then, look what we brought back from California...



...a U.S. Marine!!!! Wow. Isn't he just exceptionally handsome, yet mean looking? We are so very proud and it was emotional, to say the least, to finally see him after 3 months...and then to see him looking like that! The immature teenager has been upgraded to a confident, mature, focused and polished young man. Not to mention he lost 20 lbs. and is like hugging a brick wall. He is home for 10 days, until he has to go back to CA for further training, and we are going to cherish every minute.
