My husband arrived home one week ago today. We've only argued 273 times since then. Just kidding honey! In all honesty, it is a wonderful feeling to wake up in the middle of the night, see that he is there next to me, and feel comforted.

Catalina was fun - we stayed at Hamilton Cove which had awesome amenities including a small beach, tennis courts, volleyball, putting green, pool and spa, etc...it was like a city unto itself. Oh, and the chili cheese fries are still downright amazing at Coney Island Burgers. You know it's a good vacation when all I care about was the food. We took our camera with us...and then took no pictures. Because that would have been to easy.

We arrived home to our apartment and surprisingly cool weather on Monday (cool as in the mid to high 70's here in Southern California). Usually this apartment gets up to a degree I like to refer to as Hell, so I've been pretty grateful. Still, I'd like to relocate to someplace more ritzy, the kind with a dishwasher and a community pool. And is it too much to ask for AC!?

We went to the Zoo today. I brought my camera. We also did not take any pictures. But we go to the zoo all the time so feel free to just look at some old zoo photos I've posted. The animals are still there.

Ready to laugh your pants off? Go visit Simcha and her Seven Decorating Tips from House Horrible Magazine post. Try not to pee on yourself. I was laughing so hard my husband thought there was something wrong with me.

I have found so many new Catholic blogs that I am enjoying I don't know what to do with myself. I mean, besides read all of these blogs. My social life is definitely suffering...except for all these new friends I have online! Sweet! I'd like to personally recommend Working to be Worthy, Catholic Newlywed, A Woman's Place, and A Catholic Country Girl just to name a few. I think I'm up to about 35+ blogs that I read consistently now. Got any recommendations?

My "big sis" Lindsay (she is the older sister of my Maid of Honor, who I grew up with) is getting married to her longtime significant other this Saturday! Lindsay was the typical older sister, always bossing us around and making us play school with her in the Garage while she "taught" us. Any wonder she grew up to be a teacher? Looking forward to a fun beach inspired wedding in Redondo Beach, filled with a night of drink and dancing! Then our niece's (my Husband's niece to be exact) birthday celebration is on Sunday. She will be 15 years old! I met her when she was 9...I'm starting to feel old at 23. Why do people keep doing this to me!?
