Busy Month and I'm tired!

Wow! It's been a busy month! Between trying to get work done for clients, making a baby, building my business, my birthday, family vacation with my family, I'm exhausted!

April 6th was my birthday. Frank threw me a little party with "close friends and family." Anyone that knows Frank knows that no party he plans is ever little. It was a great time! Thanks to everyone that celebrated with me!! Frankie gave me a new camera. It's very cool! It goes underwater to 33 feet deep and it can be dropped from 5.5 feet!

Then on Thursday last week we flew down to San Diego to meet my family for a long weekend. I'll tell you a very embarrassing story!

Frank and I got up at 5:00 am to catch our flight from Oakland to San Diego. I get online, print our tickets, look for our rental car confirmation (which I SWEAR I booked, because I even told my sister exactly what a great deal we got on it!) we take off, ride BART to the airport. Everything is going great, we are on time, blah, blah, blah. We are next in line to check our bags and Frank pulls the tickets out and hands them to me, I look at them and WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!! I about died!! I thought Frank was going to kill me (he's not the most patient person, especially when it comes to blatant stupidity)! So we get out of line and he asks someone standing there what we should do she says talk to a customer service rep, but it will probably cost us $100 EACH to change our tickets. YIKES! Our tickets were only $100 in the first place! Frank walks up to the customer service person and asks the man, "Do you have children?" "And grandchildren," he replies. "So you'll understand, my very pregnant wife was in charge of booking our tickets and getting us to the airport and we are supposed to be in San Francisco." The man looks at me, looks at my belly and just smiles. He changes the tickets, but it's going to cost us $100 each to change them. So he then gets on the phone and calls headquarters in Dallas to get the fee waived. They very graciously did!! After he gives us our tickets he says, "Pregnancy is considered a disability, so you can pre-board." I think it's a disability because you lose your mind!!!!!

Anyway, we made it to San Diego, still no idea where I booked the rental car with, so we start calling all the rental companies, no one has record of it, but long story, not quite as long, we were able to get Thrifty to rent us a car for cheaper than I had booked the other one for.

I have to give a shout out to both Southwest and Thrifty for saving our trip and my marriage!! I think Frank would have killed me had we had to pay the $100!

We had a great time in San Diego, we went to Sea World, the Beach, The American Girl Doll Store (as much as I really don't have a thing for dolls, I was very impressed with the store), we got to see my cousins that live in L.A. and Vegas, and on one day we just kind of relaxed, spent the day in the pool, went and saw the San Diego temple, and went to the Gas Lamp District.
My nephew, Bevan, at Sea World, he was very enthralled with the whole thing.
Bevan and Hailey fighting over the sand inside the blow up, there wasn't enough sand everywhere else, they both had to dig in the middle of the blow up.
