Week by Week: 27th

Gotta play catch-up! Starting week 31 tomorrow, y'all. Prepare for onslaught of posts this week to bring you up to speed.

Learning to take baths for relaxation.
I'm a total amateur bath taker, but I'm trying.

chowing down on my fave salad.

The world as I see it:
fully reclined on the couch, jamie shoved into a corner, hudson chilling with his head on a convenient pillow.

I flew down to Southern California and got to see so many loved ones! I spent 1/2 of this week in sunshine-y and warm s.cal and it was glorious. Here's a quick preview before I post specifically about the lovely shower that my sister-in-law threw for me.

Flying over Lake Tahoe. 

Visit in Orange County with Dafna, a Tuckie friend.

Mother-in-law, Lucy, sent over the sweetest flowers.
Thank you again, Lucy!

with little sister, Amy.
For the record, she's in heels and I'm barefoot.
Usually I tower like 6 inches over her....ok, not really, but I'm still taller.

Amy's almost wrapping up her first year of her Masters program at UCI where she's on path to earn her MPH by summer of 2014. She's been so busy with school and tutoring and research and applying for summer internships that we've recently been relegated to snippets of conversation here and there. It was amazing to have a full night of staying up late and catching up the night before the shower. I loved every second of it.
