Grateful

Today was a day full of emotion. Some happy and some sad. With that said I am feeling incredibly grateful for these people today. They are the best:)

Another thing to check off the list

The cabin was another place the kids wanted to visit before we left. So, that's what we did for Memorial weekend. We invited Aaron's family and most of them were able to make it so it was a lot of fun.
We hiked, played games, and just relaxed. It was a great weekend. I even came home with a tan and the high was in the 50's. I'll take it:)

Dam tour

We made a list of things we want to do before we leave the country and one was to go to the Dam. My mom hooked us up with free Dam tour passes so why not. Erza thought is was awesome and I think Lincoln was a little bored but it was fun.

Catch up

Life has been crazy (not in a bad way)
That is understatement.
Overwhelmed
Exhausted
Pregnancy yuckiness
Family time
Happiness
Seeing a light at the end of the tunnel
Living one day at a time

You know, everyday stuff.

I realized I only posted about one day of our awesome spring break. So, here is the rest in a nutshell.
2 days of camping on the beach in Carlsbad (amazing)
Huntington Beach (windy and freezing)
Anaheim (med school interview)
San Pedro visiting bro and wifey (we love them!)
USS Iowa
Another med school interview over the phone
Castaic visiting Aaron sis and family (don't see them enough)
Calico Ghost Town
It was very busy but great! We needed that time as a family.

Sometimes when I have a huge to do list, I simply won't accomplish anything. Heaven forbid I get overwhelmed. Yeah, that's me right now. I add to my list every day but don't cross anything off. Seriously, I struggle. One thing I have been doing, looking up facts about Grenada. Some things I've learned:
The average temperature year around is in the 80's.
The average humidity year around is 80%
St. George has a beach that is rated one of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world.
It's 100 miles from Venezuela
Even during the rainy season (June to December) it rarely rains for more than an hour and not everyday
The primary language is English
They drive on the left side of the road
Cricket is the most popular sport
It's 133 square miles
It's nicknamed the "spice island" because of it's production on Nutmeg and Mace

Big things happening for the Borens

1st- We are going to be moving here.

St. George, Grenada
Where is this you ask? If you are looking at all the Caribbean islands, it's the second most southern one.Oh darn I have to go live on a tropical island for 2 years. Life will be tough:)


2nd- This one was more shocking than the 1st believe or not. Baby number 3 will be here in the middle of October. I still can't really believe it. This is a long story in itself. Maybe one day I will do a post about it.

Life is going to be crazy the next couple months. CRAZY! Aaron is going to leave in Aug. The boys, new baby and I will follow in December. I don't really want to have my baby in Grenada. Especially because I have c-sections. Anyways, that's life right now. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous at all. I'm nervous to be a single mom for 5 months. I'm nervous because I really do love my man and the thought of 5 months without him makes me sad. I'm nervous to move somewhere so far and not know a single person. Even with all that I really am excited! I like doing new things and getting out of my comfort zone and moving to Grenada will do that. We would love visitors:)

Last day of Spring Break

Calico Ghost Town
On our last day of our 6 day trip in Cali we stopped in Calico Ghost Town. I had never even heard of it. Aaron's sister suggested we all go. I was hesitant only because I was ready to get home and I didn't want a huge detour but come to find out it's right off the 15 by Barstow. You can actually see if from the freeway. I've made the drive to Cali loads of times and never even notice. Shows how observant I am. Well, we spent about 3 hours there in 90 degree weather and had a lot of fun. It was a good way to end vacation. For all you Vegas folks, it's similar to Bonnie Springs but it's an actual legit ghost town.

We walked through and old mine shaft. Way cool.

Saw some extremely old houses.

Went on a train ride with cousins

Sifted (not sure that's the exact term, whatever) for gold

 and our attempt at a family picture. This is only one we got all trip!
