California

Matt and I made our way down to California for Donny and Margie Bruyn's wedding. Donny is a friend of Matt's from flight school.
While we were there we had the pleasure of seeing a lot of family and friends.
We arrived in Cali on Friday January 22nd. Matt's aunt and uncle, affectionately referred to as Mimi and Unk, picked us up from the Onterio airport and we headed to meet their son Jeff at the Mexico Cafe for some delicious and HUGE margaritas. My favorite.

Saturday we went to Chino, CA for the wedding. Which was beautiful, but I failed to get any pictures. Its a little awkward to take pictures of people you don't even know.

Sophie is all grown up now.


Sunday we had brunch with the Jaynes family and then went to visit Grandma Fluffy.


Brody warmed up to Matt and I pretty quickly.

Monday was a bit of a crazy day. Unk let us borrow his big yellow H2 and we drove to visit various friends just north of LA.



Our first stop was to see my friend Sarah who lives in Sunland, CA. I had not seen her since she moved from Colorado in 2003. It was so great to see her and catch up a little bit.

Congrats to Sarah and Brian - expecting their first little girl in June.

After visiting with Sarah for a few hours, we ventured up to Canyon Country, CA to visit Steven and Jennifer Foltz and their family. Their boys, Eli, Seth and Elliot showed off their army outfits that their Grandma made them for Christmas. So fun!

As the day wore on we found ourselves in Burbank where we visited my friend Dan and his girlfriend Sarah who just moved out there recently from CO. We got to see their cute apartment and then went to happy hour at Acapulco.

After all of the driving while only getting 11 MPG in the Hummer, we decided it was time to head back to good ol' Bloomington.

Tuesday morning was spent packing up our things and spending time with Mimi, Unk and Sophie. We then went to visit Grandma Fluffy again at her apartment in Loma Linda.

That afternoon Mimi and Unk drove us to the airport so we could catch our flight to Seattle to visit everyone and meet baby Jude.
