I'm Baaaack!

Yes, it's 2 am but I seriously can't find time these days to blog so here I am.... San Diego was fabulous... spent too much time at airports being delayed on the way home but it was better than the snow that we came home to. It usually takes us 35 minutes from our house to the airport. We flew in and returned home 3 hours later due to the awesome road conditions... Here are a few more pics...
This is the view we had from the room.. without the fog... much better! The day we left the sun was shining and it was gorgeous!!!
I tried to take a couple pics of the pool area. It was on the top of the 40 foot hotel and it was simply amazing. I haven't been to many luxurious places so I was to say the least, amazed!!! The workout room was attached and when I would run every day it had windows that overlooked the entire city... all round...

Last but not least, me and my wonderful hubby! This was our last night in San Diego. We drove out to the island and went to Hotel Del Coronado... simply amazing. It was dark and we took a stroll along the beach which was just gorgeous. Unfortunately we didn't make it in the light which I would love to do some day! Thanks so much for the little vaca babe!

Next time you look my blog will have a facelift!! As a "happy Bday" gift to myself... I had my friend, Erin create a totally new look!!! Erin is the sister to Josh, who is daddy to Baby Mac who I think we all grew to love in 2008! I can't wait for you all to see!!! As soon as it's "done" I will post her button for you to check out her work!!! She is having a giveaway so ya'all need to check it out! Until then...

Hopefully you don't get another little bundle of joy out of this one ;) ok I am TOTALLY KIDDING you know I wouldn't wish that on you. Seriously though that looks like an awesome trip!

When I was skimming over this post, I though you were saying YOU were getting a facelift & then realized it said your BLOG was.
I kept thinking, "You look great Jess... no need to go under the knife!" (I was having a total DUH moment.) I want to see a picture of your finished house!

Glad to hear your trip was fun. Sorry I didn't reply to your 1am message. :) I am a wuss - I am trying to cut down on Diet Coke, and, while I am not getting headaches (yea!), I am dead tired at night. I hit the hay at 10 and forgot to log my messenger off.
Now that all the kids are back in school and you are in your house, I hope you get to find a "normal" again. :)

Wow Jess! I'm so impressed with your blog. it's awesome. Your amazing. Your family is so adorable. I'm so glad you keep track of all the players and their families. It's nice to see what everyone is up to. I love the pics of your new house, and I'm jealous you got to get away from the snow in San Diego. Tell Eric hi from me and Cory. Take care.

Your blog looks amazing! I just read another blog about Erin and I pretty sure that they have no idea who she is since they live in California! She is pretty popular! She did a fantastic job!

Sounds like you had a lot of fun on your get-away! I am jealous!

Take care!
