Aunt Mae Mae's Last Day

Well today is the day I have been dreading, my sisters last day here. I don't know what I am going to do with myself, I have had company for a month and a half and now its back to just Reagan and I. We are going to have to readjust ourselves and our schedules.

We decided to just take it easy, we had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen for lunch and finished up her last day with more shopping. (no thats not ALL we did) Afterwards we came home and tried to figure out how she was going to get 10lbs of new clothes in her luggage. Especially since her bag weighed 49.5lbs on her way here. We waited for Darrin to get home and all just relaxed. We finished the night off with popcorn and a movie!

Thanks so much sister for coming, we had a wonderful 10 days with you. You are such a sweet and caring person and Reagan & I love you so much. Good luck this semester with all your nursing classes, I know you will work hard and do great. I guess it's time to count down until the next time we see you. When will that be?!

We love you - Darrin, Erin & Reagan

Laguna Beach

A few months ago Darrin and I found this wonderful cafe' in Misson beach where we had breakfast. I remembered thinking I had to for sure bring Sister to try it out. One thing that I KNOW is my sister loves is BREAKFAST!! It's her favorite meal of the day and will wake up as early as she has to to make sure she gets it! We woke up at 6:30 am to get ready before waking up Darrin and Reagan. Around 7:15 we woke up Darrin and by 8:00 we were all out the door. We had our breakfast, which was delicious - strawberry/banana pancakes, bacon and eggs and then headed up to Laguna Beach. (which is about an hour and a half north from us)

The weather was perfect all day. We strolled around in and out of a few stores (bought a $15 dollar dress that was originally $50 that is adorable) and walked along the beach. Last time we were in Laguna Darrin found this stairway that lead all the way down to the beach. So we headed over there to catch yet another amazing sunset before heading back. After the sunset we headed back home and all crashed!

We had a great weekend, here are more pictures of our trip and another amazing sunset!
