catching up

Last week we flew down to Berkeley for our Dave Matthews Band show and I thoroughly enjoyed our time. These shows are indescribable magic to me. They always have been. With LeRoi gone it is different -- I actually fought off tears when his sub started playing his part on the first song. But the magic is still there. Especially enjoyable at this amazing venue. Exponentially more wonderful with my husband beside me equally enraptured. It was hard to cut it short after just one night, but work is work. 16 hours later we were back in Oregon and hubby was back at work. In my old mothery age it is pretty much impossible to get in the 6+ shows/year of my youth. That makes these single tastes all the more sweet.

Knock on wood

I think my Little Guy has flying down now -- recent experiences have been blessedly far from nightmarish. Which is good because we have more trips coming right up...

exciting possibilities

We're set for house hunting next week! I feel so much better now that the arrangements have been settled through corporate travel. We got the flight and accommodations I had hoped for and I feel significantly less tense about traveling with Little Guy. Hubby and I are both excited about the trip and finding a new home. And about our new life together in what seems to be a very nice area.

On a separate note, we also got the confirmation that our corporate moving service includes packing up of the house -- awesome, awesome and also awesome!

things change

sandy eggo was fun...but revisiting that life was strange. that old way of life fits me about as well as my pre-baby pants do (some parts better than others, and with some discomfort). it's not just that i'm a mom now...it's also that i'm married. i have never been so uncomfortable going out in my life as i was when we hit the gaslamp ! i felt like an old lady with my shirt all buttoned up just praying nobody would hit on me.

that might sound a bit ridiculous but most of my years living and going out in sandy eggo i was single, and my old partner in crime still is. Plus, she attracts a steady stream of male attention...which i wanted nothing to do with!

SOOOOOO.....i would love to go to sandy eggo and go out on the town again...but next time my dear husband must come!

oh my

right after the 1st birthday bash my most wonderful hubby surprised me with a plane ticket to go visit one of my dearest friends in Sandy Eggo this weekend. i'm very excited, but i'm honestly not 100% looking forward to it. it will be the longest i've ever been away from my baby, by far, and i get sad and start missing him every time i think of it! but i know i'll have fun and i'm very thankful for this wonderful surprise...
