visit

Tracy is here for the weekend visiting. We are having so much fun! Too much fun to take pictures apparently, but we've been doing this:

**shopping here - and getting dirty looks because I brought along my kids and apparently it's totally not cool to have kids. Unless you're a "family unit" as one guy welcomed us as, by which I mean two chicks. In love. Raising kids. Which we're not. Personally, I was really looking forward to checking out the fun shopping in Berkeley, but I think once was enough. Luckily it wasn't ride-your-bike-naked day.

** Shopping here is ALWAYS the best. Lucky me dropped the kids off with daddy at work to take home and could hang out with just my friend! Love that. We had Indian food for dinner - a first for me. Not too bad. I picked up the Denise Schmidt Quilts book and am looking forward to trying something from it.

** These guys have the best Chocolate Fondant Cake with chocolate ice cream. Their hot chocolate is tasty too.

**It's snowing in Utah (where Tracy is visiting from). Blizzard. We sat on the beach in Santa Cruz on Saturday. It was fabulous.

**You MUST go to Icing on the Cake if you're ever in Los Gatos. You must.

**Church. Church is great. We love church.

**Angels Camp for dinner with the fam.

It's so great having Tracy here. I miss my best friend. I love that she comes out to visit and I wish we lived closer! Like she said this weekend, "It's so nice to not have to explain anything to each other". We know each others families and histories. We've been friends for nearly two decades --wow!-- how old does that make me feel!!

It's hard to find good friends and I'm grateful that she's the best!
