A perfect end to a good week

What a great weekend.

Saturday, I took my lovely fiancé down to the city of Lake Forest (formally El Toro) where I grew up. I showed her my childhood home, a few old hang outs and all of my old schools (Elementary, Jr. High and High School). For the high school, I actually gave her a walking tour of the campus. Other than a few additions (including a huge new building), it was pretty much as I’d left it. I was amazed at the flood of memories that hit me while we were there. I was really glad that we went, even with the ridiculously hot weather.

Later that evening we joined some friends from work at a party my boss was throwing. The weather was lovely and the drinks and Jello shots flowed freely.

Sunday we went up to Simi Valley to visit my sister and her family. We had the pleasure of watching my nephew and his team kick some serious ass in their baseball game… winning by 10 runs! Then we headed to their house for some swimming and food. It was a really great visit. Hell, we even got a new (used) couch out of it (The kind that turn into a semi-comfortable bed)!

All in all, I have had a pretty amazing couple of weeks. It’s hard to describe, but I’ve basically been lucky enough to re-live falling in love with Christa all over again… and I can’t begin to describe how amazing it feels.

I may not have all the material bullshit I’d like. I’m not rich and my hair is much thinner that I’d like. Yet, I can safely say you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who feels luckier than I do.

Next week… ROAD TRIP!
