Sweet, sweet American soil! I was madly craving every fast food restaurant, fountain drinks, shopping malls, and all the other tiny American luxuries. And they did not disappoint...turns out Chipotle still tastes good even with the risk of dying of E-Coli. Tastes like liberty.
I went to California while Austin took his finals. I vowed to never leave Austin for finals week again because I missed him so much, and I was constantly stressing that he wasn't eating or showering because he was studying 24/7 (But I got over it and just bought tickets to come home in May one week early lol). It was so good to hang out with family and the cats, of course ;) Austin would be so embarrassed if he knew that I just said that. Pais and Kendo, my nieces, are just the cutest and most entertaining little girls. Paislee and I made up an infinite amount of dance routines...all including the crab move. The crab is done by raising both arms, bent at the elbow and shuffling your feet across the floor. Its a real hit. Paislee would ask, "Hey Aunt Sam you wanna crab around?" Ha! She's the funniest. I had a lot of time on my hands after Steph and Trev went back to Utah because my parents had to work during the day but luckily Ive had a solid five months of training myself to self entertain. I always love looking at old pictures when I'm home, and I found a few gems. I also decided it be a good time to take advantage of American Healthcare and went to a billion doctors and dentist appointments...thank you to Blue Cross and to my parents for perma-insurance coverage. And for the first time ever, I am pleased to announce that I am in the no cavity club! WOOOHOOO! I always always always have cavities, like double digits amount of cavities. I blame my father because he passed down his bad teeth, otherwise I have great oral hygiene...Dr. Rimmer even told me I was the floss boss. But last time I went to the dentist in Utah and the dentist told me I get cavities from soda so I should just drink it with a straw and stick the straw way back in my mouth so that no soda touches my teeth...works like a charm.
Heres some pics, including a few throwbacks:
