Hello from San Fran!

I am at my Auntie’s house and we are having a great time….as if we wouldn’t we are girls! On a girls weekend.

My Mom was so surprised, she nearly had a heart attack and while she was hugging me, she was screaming in my ear!!
My sister and I succeeded in giving her the surprise 60th birthday of her life. We were so excited to be able to do that for her. She loved her new video camera as well and we went to the mall and walked around all day and ate dinner at The Cheesecake factory. It was a great day.

Now we are sitting around looking at gramma’s old jewelry and reminiscing about things past. It’s surreal to be here and see my younger cousins who are all grown up. I’m sitting here remembering running around with them as a teen and being there for some of their life milestones. Good times…

Today we went to lunch at this great mexican resturaunt and ate way too much yummy food. Then we went to the Mall again and looked around. I bought a green and sliver ring a Macy’s that will always remind me of our weekend together.
Then I asked if we could go see the Pacific since it’s been so long since I’ve seen it. We ended up touring the city and going up to this place called Twin Peaks (not sure if the show was based on that, but whatever) that over looked the city. It was so cool I could see for miles and miles. I even saw where I grew up in Alameda! I also saw the Golden Gate Bridge and all of downtown. It was so awesome. It was very windy and cold tho. I haven’t been too cold here, but it is definately a different climate than Texas!! Here is my with the city behind me.

We leave tomorrow and I am already not looking forward to it. Even if I don’t get sick on the plane ride, I don’t really like to fly I have decided. A girl can change her mind if she wants to, ya know. And I don’t want to leave my family. I feel this way every time I visit with them.  Life. It’s bittersweet.
