We arrived home last night. Well, at least to the apartment-home, which is still in Austin and so feels like home.
I never imagined that home would be somewhere else than California, but I’ve never felt more at home in a place than I do here. I am so happy to know that we will be raising our child(ren?) in a city that we decided, on our own (with no outside influences), to live in. There’s just something freeing about that to me.
Even though I am so happy to be home, the trip to California was a lot of fun (at least for a few mishaps, which I will talk about later). The best part, no contest, was seeing our family. I only got to see my mom and best friend for the baby shower, but I am grateful I even saw them at all, considering they both had to travel a distance to get to where we were staying.
We did everything I wanted to do, too! We saw Batman: The Dark Knight (a masterpiece – go see it!), we went to Sequoia National Park (started out rough, but ended well – details later) and, of course, we had my baby shower (details and photos for another post!). We even threw in a game of miniature golf, which was a whole lot of fun!
As soon as I get unpacked and get the photos uploaded, I will set about posting the details of both the baby shower and visit to Sequoia National Park. I also plan to catch-up on everything going on with all of you, as I feel like I’ve missed so much already!

Congratulations first and foremost on your pregnancy!!
It sound slike you had a great trip.. and it’s a great feeling to know that you can feel so at home in a place so far from where you’ve ever lived, isn’t it? It’s awesome.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. I’m definitely going to be checking back in to see baby shower photos!
I’m glad you like Austin so far. I’ve lived in Texas for about 2 years now and have to say it isn’t too bad. It just gets a little tiring during the long, hot, summers.
Welcome back! I’m glad your trip home was good, and that you’re glad to be back home in Texas, too. 🙂
Hey… found your blog through ICLW…
Sounds like we have many of the same interests, including being an animal-lover. I wish you much joy and love with your new baby.
I enjoyed reading your blog today. Best of luck to you.

Sounds like a great trip. I’m glad you’ve found yourself somewhere that makes you happy to be home.
I clicked over your way by Adoptic, and I had to comment and say that you are an absolutely beautiful pregnant woman! I look forward to reading more.
