It was another crazy, hectic and very fun weekend. Friday night, Eli did his first night flight and ended up getting all of his hours in that are required for night flying. He is now up to 25 hours! To get his private pilot's license he needs 40 so he is a little more the halfway there! Saturday we got up, headed to the airport to fly up to the bay area for a wedding. The wedding was nice, the bride and groom looked so happy. There were a couple of mishaps...two bridesmaids fainted. One during the ceremony and the other afterwards. Both were okay. The reception was at a beautiful country club in Berkeley. The view was amazing! As the reception went on, it seems as though I was the only one who was enjoying the open bar. As a result, I became chatty Kathy! I think my solitude in OC has caught up with me b/c anyone that I could have a conversation with, i did and I kept talking and talking...oye!
Sunday the A's were playing the Yankees. We managed to score tickets and made a mad dash to the game. The seats were amazing! The day was amazing and the best part is that the A's won in the bottom of the ninth inning, 2 outs and two men on base and marco scurato hit a 3 run walk off home run to end the game! After the game we headed to the airport to catch our flight back down to Orange County. As we were walking, a guy behind us was chatting us up. I had my Nick Swisher http://oakland.athletics.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=430897
tee shirt on and the guy was like, you guys big swisher fans. I turned around and nodded my head when E was saying yes but now she is starting to dig on Travis Buck

This guy was like, yeah, I know those guys, they are great. "T" is a stud and will be a stud for a long time. Now it didn't quite register with us what this guy was saying. For all we knew, he could know these guys and it didn't dawn on us that he was an oakland A player as well.
We get our seats and we were chatting with a guy in front of us about the game and how wondefully exciting it ended. The guy was like, did you see Bobby Crosby in the airport. We were like no! Then as we relived the conversation with that guy and how he was asking about us being Swisher fans, etc that was indeed Bobby Crosby! Both us of were like DOH! i can't believe we didn't recognize who were talking to. As soon as we got home, we logged onto the A's website and looked up Crosby. Sure enough, it was him. DAMN!

No news is good news
Just another Thursday and not much to report. Definitely been a quiet week and i think I have mostly tried to get caught up on sleep. I am definitely not 24, when I used to rage all weekend long and bounce right back :( My body lives for the quiet weekends now :)
This afternoon we are meeting with our real estate agent to talk about our home search. She got us started on receving email updates on various places based upon our desires and we also met with a mortgage broker. Which was very helpful and very depressing :( We thought we could afford something more but unfortunately we cannot. We want to maintain the standard of living that we already have and be able to save money for trips and babies :) So I am hoping when we tell her what we are actually going to be able to afford, I am hoping that we can find something in that price range. The real estate in CA is outragous! I can't see us downgrading to a one bed one bath when we are renting a two bed two bath. hmmph!
Tonight we are headed to Angels and A's game. E is a huge A's fan so of course like the good wife I am, I jumped on that bandwagon! So the two of us and a co-worker of his and his girlfriend are meeting us here and we are heading to the game. E is going tomorrow night and then the two of us are going saturday night with more people! E and I were high fiving last night that we actually are hanging out with people that could become our FRIENDS and they actually live in OC. Most of the people we know live in LA is it is rough drive and so you have to really plan out what you are doing if either of us want to make the drive.
Good weekend ahead, I can just feel it!
