California

A couple weeks back Ashton and I were able to take a quick trip to my home, Fresno. We were getting the heck out of dodge while Kellen had his finals! It paid off, he got all A's! So proud.

While we were in Fresno, I really wanted to be able to take Ashton up to the mountains. That was one of my favorite things about where I grew up, being so close to beautiful places. So we took a little day trip up to Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake. It was so fun and nostalgic for me! My dad is a mountain, hiking man so I have literally been up there hundreds of times in my life. I'm so glad I got to show Ashton this beautiful piece of my childhood.






















And of course our traditional frozen yogurt picture. Couldn't miss that.

Cat-like Reflexes!

So... Skweemish beware....
Last night, well I should say, this morning around 4:30 I had to sit awake for 30 minutes negoticating myself back into bed. Why? Oh you know...roaches. Yeah I said ROACHES. I woke up in a panic becaue I felt something crawl down my arm and half-awake, I grabbed and squished it in my hand, realized what just happened and jumped out of bed! I apparently have insane reflexes in my sleep, who just grabs a scittering bug?! This is the second time in my life that I have done this...ironically the first time was at a cabin at Huntington Lake, which I was just talking about all last night because I'm headed there next week. Anyway!I whipped on the light, Kellen disposed of the intruder and then I had to stand there shuddering about it for 30 minutes! Literally a nightmare come true.
I feel the same way I did after I saw the horror movie, The Grudge. In that movie the creepy thing gets you even when you climb in bed with the covers pulled up! That's supposed to be the safe zone! Bugs, critters, and creepy spirits with grudges are not supposed to be able to get you in your bed! Safe zone!

On a less creepy crawly note. Ashton and I are Fresno bound this afternoon when I get off work! Yay! Kellen has finals next week so we are getting out of his hair for that. I am a genious and of course forgot to get the baggage out of Ashton's room before he went to bed last night, so I'm going to have to hustle to get everything packed in time to leave! I'm thinking the timing could not have been more perfect, since I would probably have had roach nightmares sleeping in my own bed...I get to sleep somewhere else for a few nights and hopefully forget! (yeah, right.) I will leave Kellen with a big bottle of bug spray. *disgusted, shivery creepy-crawly dance*
