We're back!!! Obviously blogging is not our forte, but we have had lots going on in the last 2 months and thought we would catch you up with a brief summary and pics...and this will be the new beginning of our blogging life.
We enjoyed an amazing few days with the Willows clan in Langley, BC at the end of April - it was a priceless time away and we are already wishing we could be back to visit them. Little Sean turned 11 when we were out West and we had a blast at his birthday party!! Meredith renamed Carla, to Carlie, and it stuck...Marshall showed us his never-ending array of talents. Sean and Terry had some quality "guy time", and Michelle and Carla continued enjoying getting to know one another. One moment as meaningful as the next. THANK YOU WILLOWS FAMILY - WE LOVE YOU!!
California was pretty spectacular as well. The MOSAIC conference was invigorating, and some quality Sean and Carla time in Palm Springs was memory making. We were even able to catch a few quality moments with Lynn in LA, which made the bustling city feel familiar and welcoming. Most of all, our time in Solana Beach with the Moriarty's was what made the sun shine the brightest on our time down South. Reid scaring Sean during his nap on the hammock, and then Sean scaring Reid right back was a wonderful way to start our time with them, and enjoying horse back riding lessons of Allie's, and her school concert reminded us of her ability to be great at whatever she sets her mind to. Jim was so generous with his time, encouraging Sean and hanging out, and Andrea - well she is practically perfect in every way. :) It was a wonderful place for Carla to celebrate her 32nd birthday....the whole trip made us want to come back for more...hmmmm, how can we arrange that?
We came home and enjoyed an intimate celebration of Sean turning 40 on May 23rd, which was really memory making. Just the two of us on the rooftop of the Hyatt enjoying a drink and laughter, then a couples massage at Stillwater Spa. We wrapped up our evening with a late dinner at Splendido...and splendido it was...champagne trolley, tasting menu with wine pairing...ALL GLUTEN FREE....incredible. This private time threw Sean off the scent of the upcoming surprise party we enjoyed on the rooftop of the Cardamone's place - lots of friends and family celebrating with us. Great food, incredible music, fabulous weather, lots of laughter, and most of all, a true celebration of the man Sean is and our appreciation of him, and of our friends.
What else you ask??? Well, a couple of weeks ago Carla was in a car accident and is off work right now with serious whiplash and soft tissue damage....but between serious medication (driving is not recommended!!), physiotherapy, massage therapy and some acupuncture, we're hoping she'll be back selling real estate in no time!!!
We will leave you with this for now....after all this....we are heading back to California soon. Our next posting will fill you in on the details!! (just to help you get in the habit of checking our blog regularly).
