a bittersweet day

Today is the day the girls and I head back to the east coast... for good.

As I (feel like, or I may have) said so many times, I would love nothing more then for you to just be able to be inside my head and my heart and see/feel how this day is.  I tend to be a little more forgetful these days, but I do believe I've written before about how bittersweet today is.  Bitter because Mike still has to commute back and forth between coasts until end of April and sweet because my days of being home alone until 11 at night (poor babe, working so hard for our family during 'busy season') are over.  The girls will get to play with their cousins, Molly and Harley, and I will get to see my friends, family, and have a workout buddy for the gym every day (thanks, Kristen!).

Another chapter in our lives is coming to a close and we're preparing for the most exciting one yet -- becoming parents.  Towards the end of this journey I've started calling our time in San Diego a blessing, and I couldn't be more right.  Not only did Mike and I get to experience living on a separate coast, by ourselves (which meant a lot of us time!) but we also created life and soon we'll get to meet him.  Oh yeah, and of course we found Cali. :)  Ironically, I cried when we left and I teared up when we were leaving.. I know, I need to get my shit together.

Thanks, Deloitte, for this wonderful career and move opportunity for our family, and thanks San Diego for the amazing memories we will forever cherish.



One of Mike's co-workers, Jessica, sent this to me the morning of our departure.



How sweet is she?




Driving Cali back from the vet I got the chance to snap one more photo of the view I will no longer see on an (almost) daily basis.

side note: surprise, surprise, Cali was back at the vet just in time for them to tell us she has Giardia right before our redeye flight. 




This is certainly something I hadn't seen before -- the two ladies sharing the small bed.  Hey, there's a first for everything.




Caught this number on Instagram... it feels good to be loved and I can't wait to spend time with her daily as we sweat our bump's off at our gym's classes.
