We get to see Matt tomorrow--well it will technically be after midnight, but we will still count it as tomorrow! Our long time apart is finally coming to an end and we are all so excited to be together again. I am excited to see Abby's face when Matt goes in to get her out of bed on Friday morning. She will be ecstatic!
This morning Abby and I went and did some of my visiting teaching. She was a very good girl while we went. I wanted to make sure we visited our wonderful sisters before I left. Then we went over to the mall so that she could ride the carousel one more time before we leave. I also spent the last of my birthday money (mind you my birthday was in January!) so that was exciting. There is a store that makes small stuff so I actually found too many clothes that fit!
Tonight we met our friends the Jones' at Chick-fil-A and the kids played in the play area and managed to eat a few bites in between playing. We also got treated to Bahama Bucks which is the coolest shaved ice place I've ever seen in my life. We of course had the 'Bahama Mama Rama' I think it is called which combines the shaved ice flavors of your choice with really good vanilla ice cream. Sound strange? Trust me, you have to try it. We are so grateful to be able to get to know their family and will actually be seeing them in 2 weeks when they stop at our house for a quick visit after Disneyland!Abby and Ivy at Chick-fil-A

We did have some not so good news today. Someone stole Matt's bike. I went out to take out the trash and there was a Southwest Gas man checking the meter. He brought over to me a cut bike lock and asked if this was mine. I said, "Isn't is connected to a bike?" He said, "No." At first I thought, well the bike was extremely old and we did get it for free. But then Matt reminded me that the base of Abby's bike seat was still on the bike. She had the coolest bike seat that sat on the front of Matt's handle bars and she loved it so much. I am so disappointed that people steal. My bike was stolen a couple of years ago--flat tire and all. I am so happy that my bike was behind the gate and still there. There is always a bright side right! Plus, hopefully we won't have that problem at our new house--hey, we will have a garage. I've never had a garage before!
We can't wait to see you Mattie! Drive safe.
