Good-byes in Southern CA

Jake asked if I could pick him up and we could stay for a brief overnight alone before the big move. I arranged all the sitters and made the plan. Our dear friends the Carsons ended up meeting up with us and we all went to dinner. We tried a nice veggie/vegan/mega healthy CA type place and I just wanted all their green furniture.

The next day on the way home Jake really wanted to have one last meal at Connie & Ted's in West Hollywood and as always it was worth it. It's out of the way and pricey, but he loves the deep cup east coast oysters so much. Me? I can't get enough of the warm lobster roll and salty fries.

Needless to say the kids were SO EXCITED when Daddy showed up. He works so much to take care of us and we are so grateful. Here they attempt a piggy back ride ALL at the same time.

We capped off the night by treating everyone to one last meal at Falcon's Nest. We ate here so much while living "on the mountain" and those salads kept me alive while my international businessman was away.

We tried to see and do all we could while in Southern California. I know we missed so much and hung out with family and friends way too little, but I am glad we did it. I am glad we lived in Frazier Park.

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

We pulled off our best Halloween! Possibly ever! Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully. He even had the cutest song he sang. I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
