Not in the Face! Not in the Face!

Ok I seriously love being on vacation! It is so nice to be able to sit back and enjoy visiting the people that we love the most. It is uber sweet that J’s sister took the week off to hang out with us. His mom did too, so we have them all to ourselves when we are here.
My Dad called me this morning! It was so awesome to hear from him. He is so excited about us coming on Friday!! We talked about the weather and the wedding. Also talked about Becca being uber shy still. She totally still ries when my mother-in-law and her Auntie try to hold her. It makes me sad that they cannot share in that aspect of Becca. My Dad says to keep trying but it is so hard to listen to Becca cry like that. She is genuinely scared that she will never get back to us! We try to reassure her, but J and I are all she knows on a daily basis. Sure we go to playdates and classes but how much do other people hold her? Like never….*sigh*
hehe…it is kinda nice right now. Everyone is napping or reading quietly, so I get a chance to relax, listen to my ipod and blog!!
Ooo…totally crazy, back in the early 80’s there was a made for tv movie filmed in this area and J’s Grandpa and Grandma were in it as extras. So J’s sister interlibrary loaned a copied to Canada. She was told they did not get the rights to distribute it in Canada (odd considering it was filmed here). Anyway, the movie has Kurt Russel and is all about farming and lung cancer….anyway lol, J’s Grandpa helps break up a bar fight in the movie!!! It is amazing to watch. I did not have the opprotunity to meet J’s grandpa, he passed away before J and I met. But it is way cool that his family has this glimpse of him forever in film! (I guess the location of the bar fight is a pool hall that was owned by J’s cousin’s Grandpa!)
I seriously cannot wait till we are settled in Riverside. I know life is always throwing curve balls at ya, but it will be nice to have a home that we know we are not packing up right away and leaving. Like I want to transfer some old video to vhs that my dad had with his old camera. There is a quick shot of my Grandpa on there that I want to make sure to send copies to my dad and Grandma. And I have a ton of other little projects like that. I just cannot start anything right now. When we return from our vacation I return to work and I have to totally start packing more often at home. *sigh* Can I just stay on vacation forever??
Tonight we are cruising over Tim & Christine’s! hehe, they are our “couple” friends!! We fit perfect too. It is so hard to find other couples that we both like and can talk and relate to that have kids and understand that J is still a student *takes a deep breath* Anyway, Tim and Christine rock and we totally miss hanging out with them, so it is going to be awesome to go see them and the family tonight.
I am off to read…..relax….ahhhhhh…this rocks…….
