I just got back from sunny Cal, recharged, relaxed, and replenished. I spent 4 days doing all the stuff that women love to do with my dear friend Jennefer. No typo here-her name is JennEfer! We met when we both lived in Castro Valley, CA. She was Bailey's nursery leader and at the time, had a dog named Bailey but no children of her own. She now has two ADORABLE girls that I fell in love with these past 4 days!!!! AND, Jenna is named after her although I didn't know it but was thrilled when I found out! Jennefer went by "Jenna" her whole life and her middle name is Lynn just like my Jenna's!!! So I guess I did well in her eyes with our girl's names! We don't just share the same taste in names, we are so alike it is scary sometimes! That's why being together is so comfortable and so fun! Here are some highlights from my trip:
- Shopping from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM in SF, Berkley, and Walnut Creek
- Eating six different pastries in one day, the eclair from Tartine Bakery was my favorite!!!! No guilt, it's vacation!
- Running at sea level with Jennefer and Carrie.
- Getting a massage and pedicure after the run!
- Going to Santa Cruz and laying out on the sand without a care or worry in the world!
- Hours of meaningful and not so meaningful conversation.
- Hearing the famous Jennefer Haight give a Gospel Doctrine lesson at church and thinking she is on top of her game.
- Realizing I needed this vacation more than I thought!
- Eating Jennefer's cooking-waffles, Artisan bread, pasta, chocolate cake....mmmm! I need ALL of the recipes!
- Drooling over the GORGEOUS homes in Pacific Heights!!! And their view!
- Seeing the old familiar sites yet gaping at their beauty all over again! San Fran is spectacular!
- Being myself, by myself and realizing how grateful I am for the family I left at home!!!
- My bird shirt from H & M, I thought Jennefer and I had the same taste but I guess I was wrong!!!! I love it!
- Waking up this morning after getting home at midnight and seeing Sam's smiling face 2 inches from my face, Noah's hugs, Jenna's pure excitement, and Bailey's ability to stay awake for anything!
Thank you, thank you Jennefer (and Lance...and Megan) for a wonderful get-away! What a great weekend!

You're one lucky girl that's all I have to say! I was wondering where you were going when you said you were having a girl's weekend. I'm so glad you were able to get away and relax. Not all of us are that fortunate! Ü Love the picture of the eclair by the way. YUM.
Heather, sounds like a FUN weekend. I admire you that you can get away like that. I just can't do it. I'm not sure where the anxiety comes from, but even now ... I can't. Welcome home! Great photos too!!!
Love the photos and love the fact that you got away and that Kelly held things together so you could... good for you!
