Hello! It's so nice to blog again! I feel like I can breath a bit :::finally::: I've had a busy (but amazing) Summer. This June I was able to go back to my hometown in California and see my brother and lovely sister in law and spend time with my in-laws After a long weekend in Southern California I drove up to San Francisco for a conference and to receive a national award (YAY me!) and then got to spend a long weekend in Napa (for another post later).
July and August were both busy as I went to another conference in Michigan and a wedding in Ohio. It was fun to check out the Midwest. . . .all posts to come!
Anywho, please check out the pics and enjoy. It is always bittersweet going home. I loved seeing my family and old friends. I was so lucky to be able to see my dear friend and maid of honor while she was in CA (she lives in London). I was also able to eat at my favorite Mexican Restaurant LA PALOMA (which is were Gareth and I first met). And I had a great time doing lots of hiking and going wine tasting in Temecula.
Enjoy!
