Dave is HOME!

I survived! For all of you who were concerned and sent your love, thank you! I so appreciated it! Besides the fact that I had a really hard time falling asleep alone in the cold, lonely bed. It really wasn't as bad as I thought. My mom took day off work and we went up to the Park City Outlets. Way fun! They are having some really good deals right now. I got Hailey's wardrobe for next winter for .99-$1.99 !! I also got all their summer outfits on a killer sale at Carter's (I will forward you the coupon to print off if you want to go up there.) The kids are going to look so cute and I am happy for the warm weather that we can wear them! Then the next day I took my Grandma and Grandpa out for the day, down to PG and then to a fabric store my G-ma wanted to visit and of course lunch at our favorite, Olive Garden. It made the days go by quickly.
I didn't say in the last post why Dave was in San Fran. It was a tour of 8 different companies based in the Bay Area that are mostly alumni from the U who have really done something with themselves since they graduated. Dave really enjoyed it and learned a lot about himself along the way. They had one last company visit late yesterday afternoon and since the rest of the group was flying out of SFO they were going to drop Dave off at the BART to get to Oakland.He called me and I was looking up times on the internet and calculating it all out, we knew it would be tight , but we were hoping for the best...it was too close, he missed it!So he had to buy another one way ticket to get home! It cost almost as much as the round-trip ticket! Luckily the University has graciously agreed to help him pay for part of it. (that was a nice and un-expected surprise!) It is wonderful to have him back. Although; I hated for him to leave, it was nice to be able to miss him and then appreciate him all the more now that he is back home. (And I slept wonderfully last night!) He even took the kids out to the park today and flew a kite with them! What a good Dad!
