New

So it has been a while, but with not much going on, it's hard to think of what to write. It was final week, I have one left this week and then two classes in the fall, until I am officially a college graduate. Work has been pretty uneventful, still waiting to hear the fall assignment. Whatever classroom I teach in, I will be happy. I am also looking forward to having the next 7 or so months with Wayne.
I ended up getting shingles from a outbreak of chicken pox at work...yep what fun. Although the medicine they put me on seems to be doing it's job, I am suffering from most of it's side effects. Six more days, until that it over...I can not wait.
Other than that all is good here, Olive is a spunky as ever and Wayne is wonderfull.
Hope all is good back home as well!

Wayne

Even though I had to wait a extra day to see Wayne, it still was wonderful! I picked him up on Friday morning, and after a few moments of just enjoying a long hug, we ventured our way home. Olive was glad to see him, but a little skeptical at first. We decided that even though he just got home that we were going to spend the day with some of his buddies. We joined a friend in Concord for a BBQ, then we all piled in the truck, to head over to another guy who is on the ship house. We sat and watched movies, and they got to catch up and have some quality guy time. Once again I was the only girl, but that's OK. We decided to go to the Concord drive in and we went to see The Despicable me...well I slept through it. After a long day, and making the decision that none of us were going to make it through the second feature we decided to call it quits.
The next morning Wayne and I decided to head up the coast to Hearst Castle....It was a peaceful drive and we got to see some beautiful sights. While we were waiting for our tour time we walked through a shoreline town. We then ventured our way through part of the castle (we will have to go back and do another section at some point). We then decided that we were going to head up Highway 1 (the coast) and look for a hotel to stay the night at...after many towns and many more NO VACANCY signs we gave up. But along the way we got to see Elephant seals and a beautiful sunset, and we were able to enjoy each other's company. So once we reached Monterey we decided that we were just going to head home, by this time it was already almost midnight. We were successful, reaching our house at around one!
Sunday was a little on the chilly side, but we slept in...which was much needed to recuperated from the adventures from the night before. We then decided to go play tennis...10 matches later and both of us winning 5 a piece, we were tired and headed home. The rest of the day, was spent being lazy, and catching up on household chores. We finished the night off with a lemon pepper crab linguine.. and a glass of wine....what a great weekend!
We were both back to the grind this morning, and he is standing duty...but looking forward to getting back into a routine with my man.

Update

So after a long week of homework, and finishing up some big projects, the day has finally come. I get to go pick up Wayne in the AM, finally!!!!I am excited to see him, it has been a long two months! Although I have kept myself pretty busy, it still wears on you as each day passes. So I took tomorrow off, and I am going to get him, who knows what the weekend will bring, but it does not matter we will be together!

Photos

I thought I would put a photo up of Debbie, and her out in the bay on a outrigger canoe, it is pretty neat to watch!

It's been a while

The Outrigger Canoe
It's been a while since I have had a chance to get on here and post anything, but I am free tonight so here goes nothing.
Last weekend I enjoyed going to Fremont to watch Outrigger Canoe races! It was great and I got to see a great friend in the process. After watching a few hours of her racing and seeing them achieve second place medals...We were all starving and HOT! So they loaded up the boats and we headed to Berkley to grab some dinner. A great Italian meal, good conversation and a few hours later, we all said our goodbyes and headed home.
On Sunday I decided that I should probably complete tedious tasks around the house, and then I went and enjoyed the pool and warm weather.
After a amazing weekend I had to jump back into the grind. The kids have been great this week although we have been hit with a heat wave! We enjoyed the park, swimming, bowling, and Ice Skating (I stayed off the ICE) this week. Tomorrow we hope to set up the sprinklers and try to find innovative ways to stay cool!
As the weeks tick by I have begun getting really excited about Wayne's homecoming! after not talking to him for a week, I was able to finally receive a e-mail, which reassured me he was as ready to come home! It is amazing how much the little things become so big when he is away, but it's good to know that he is doing well! I am hoping to finsh up most of my large projects that are due for my classes this weekend so I can focus on spending time with Wayne when he returns.
I hope all is well with everyone back home!Happy Birthday Colby to be one again!

Olive Update

So I was laying in bed the other night and "Olive" got a little rambunctious and decided to venture in the empty postage box that I had stored under the bed. I thought it was cute, so I pulled the box out so she could play. Here are some photos!
