So this week was a whirlwind. I went to Reno for a few days.  It was super productive and I was able to begin building some relationships with the NV Team which is super exciting. Its still quite busy and I don't see it getting any better any time soon. 

The kids are doing ok for being on summer break. They've been getting some time in with their friends.  

We've beem getting the oside house set. We are almost there. We need to tackle the kitchen and figure out where to put things so it flows nicely. 

Oh and Tyler went to a card show without me. He bought me a Froakie full art card which im so excited about because I'm trying to build a master set for all the sets.  

In a couple weeks we are heading to Colorado. I'm also getting a new tattoo on Wednesday before we head out.

This was such a tough week without Sophie around the house.  I really miss her. 

One of the biggest things that happened this week was Tyler getting his wisdom teeth removed on Thursday. 

Today we celebrate Fathers day too.  Dan and I took a walk down to the beach then came back and got some good relaxing in.

Work life was rough this week. I worked until 2am on Saturday morning to get things documented for work. 

Hannah graduated on Wednesday from the 8th grade. She got a golden award and outstanding student too.  She did her last leadership event at Disneyland on Friday. 

Tyler hung out with friends on Friday and Saturday. 

I spent almost all day with Sophie on Saturday knowing we were putting her down on Sunday at 1030am. 

I miss my girl so much and hope shes running free after she crossed the rainbow bridge. She was absolutely the best dog ever.

Work is beyond crazy right now and no relief insight. Im confirmed to go to Reno at the end of the month for a few days 

Tyler closed out sophomore year.  He accomplished so much this year.  He took his first AP exam, got his driver's permit and gained confidence in himself.

Hannah is almost done with school.  She went on her 8th grade Disney trip and had a blast.  

We spent 2 nights in Oceanside this weekend and got a lot done.  Couches were built, dining table built, Dan's desk and my desk are built. Its slowly coming together.  I few more trips and a dozen more boxes to go before we are fully moved in and able to relax  

Sophie did a lot better this trip up too.

Work...same as last week, a shit show.  I expect it to be the same this coming week.  8am meetings are not the business. 

This week was centered on Hannah.   She went on harbor dinner cruise with her friends.  Then she had her 14th birthday party at home.  She also got her 2nd piercing for her ears.  

We took her to cheesecake factory for lunch on her birthday then got shoes for her 8th grade promotion next week.  

Tyler is almost as tall as Dan now.

Another busy week in May.  Work has been super busy with all the focus turning to my projects.  Luckily I got a PM to support me for the next few months, I hope. 

Home life is equally busy. Hannah took part in a unity (multi cultural) fair and represented Ireland. Hannah also had her last lunch on the lawn.  I brought boba from Sweet Vibes, a place Hannah found from Instagram.  I also bought a number of sweet treats that we actually did not like because of how gelatinous they were.  

Tyler passed his driver's Ed permit test so now we need to sign him up for behind the wheel training.  

We also spent our first weekend in Oceanside.  We built Hannah's bed and they made all the beds.  I also installed the bidets on both toilets.  We built 2 tv stands and Dan got all 3 tvs set up.  We went to Home Goods and bought Tylers night stand, kitchen trash and rug for the front door.  The place is coming along.  

We also bought the TV and stand for the living room and the couch set.

This was a pretty busy week for work as per usual. Its going to start picking up cause it was the last week before deployment.  Next deployment is when my line of business goes live so all eyes will be on it and fast. 

Home life has also been super busy.  We closed escrow on the house in oceanside on Tuesday the 12th and we picked up the keys on Friday morning and also changed the locks.  

We celebrated Tyler's 16th birthday on Thursday and again with his friends on Saturday. 

Sunday was our 18th wedding anniversary. We spent the day in Oceanside cleaning and assembling the beds.  We are hoping to stay up there this Memorial Day weekend.
