R.I.P. Jeep Cherokee....

....and thank God not me!

I promised I would update about my weekend at Disney so here it is! Unfortunately I had a slight delay driving from SLO to Anaheim on Friday morning.

I took the day off from work, went to my dentist appointment, dropped our dog off at the vet's to board her for the weekend and took off towards L.A. The weather has been so weird on the coast this weekend, it's been alternately cold and rainy and then a burst of sunshine. So, anyway I got almost to Santa Barbara (right before the Gaviota rest stop for you Californians) when it just started raining and I went around a curve too quickly and lost control of my jeep. It did a 180 across another lane of traffic and slammed my driver's side into a concrete divider. I WALKED AWAY WITHOUT A BRUISE OR EVEN A SCRATCH! It's a miracle, truely.

Well, all my family was in Anaheim, and since I wasn't hurt I continued on, rented a car, and had a great time the rest of the weekend. My husband gave me a big hug and called me a "real trooper" for not having hysterics. I'll take that as a compliment! :)

Highlights

Wow. It's been awhile since I posted! Ok.. my life is not too terribly exciting, but I'll run through the highlights for our friends and family that might still be checking up on us!

• I'm still teaching kindergarten at a fine arts charter school in King City, but I was informed that I will be moving up to a first grade position next which is very exciting!
• Patrick is loving flying for the jet charter company out of San Luis Obispo and he is also so excited to have his Pitts S2-B (small aerobatic plane... think Snoopy) back from Idaho! He spent the weekend in Chico giving instruction and thrill rides.
• We've been getting to spend more time with Patrick's brother, Chris and his wife Nicole, since they moved to Carlsbad, CA to go to jewelry school. They'll only be here until August and then it's back to AR to work his parents store, but it's fun to have them a little closer for a little while. We're meeting them and some other L.A. family and family from Illinois next weekend at Disneyland! Yea!
• We found a great church in SLO that we really love. It's called Calvary SLO and you can check out their site here.
• Our dog, Macey, is still a big, adorable, pain in the butt! I got myself this for Easter because she ate my old one.... at least this one is cuter than the old one...

Ok... so that's basically it! I swear I'm going to update more often... starting with fun pics from Disney next week. :)
