Weekend in La Jolla!

My weekend started on Friday.  Picked up Sarah from the hotel and we went for a "foot massage".  I've mentioned this place before on a previous posting.  It's a really cool place, dark room, comfy chair, nice relaxing music, water fountains . . . just one quirky thing I had to tell Sarah before we walked in . . .  they play war movies during your relaxing massage.  No audio, thank goodness but the image is shocking.  I told her to just shut her eyes.  We couldn't help but giggle b/c really, it's ridiculous to play a shoot'm up movie like "Private Ryan" during a peaceful "foot massage".  Funny.  They turned it off, not b/c we asked them to.  Maybe b/c they realized how ridiculous it was.  LOL!  I can't wait to go back.  The "foot massage" is truly is a treat. 

After that, I got my flu shot.  fun times.  After a quick early dinner at Pick Up Stix, we headed back to the hotel and enjoyed our time together.  

Saturday, Sarah and I went to Nolan's soccer game.  Aunt Sarah got to watch Nolan do a Hat Trick!  Yep, 3 goals.  Pretty cool.  Sarah was yelling "Super-Star" from the sideline.  Loved it!  Then we met up w/ Jeff and Tate at the hotel.  Mom and Dad, Mary and her family arrived and we had a great time catching up.  We laughed so much.  Felt really good to laugh.  Sarah and Mary shaved my head.  I'm now officially, Mrs. Clean.  Ha!  We walked across the golf course, to check out the beautiful sunset and then we had a nice dinner at the hotel.  Perfect.  I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of Jessie, Philip and Craig!  What the heck!  Just wait until Thanksgiving, I'll make up for it!  Smile.

Sunday, Nolan and I went to his baseball game.  Jeff and I both thought Nolan pitched really well and had a great inning as catcher.  After the game me and Nolan headed back to the hotel.  Got to see another amazing sunset with Mary, Erik, mom, dad, Sarah and my boys.  The room Sarah got us was SWEET!  Thank you Sarah!  We had a perfect dinner at the hotel, Thank you mom and dad!

Monday morning. . .  said our good byes. . . took the boys to school and returned to work.  I miss my family.  I look forward to Thanksgiving.  Seeing everyone.  I'll have my camera, get ready to SMILE!  Missed you Owen, Jeanette, Sarah and Owie!  

Check out this REALLY cool quote that was forwarded to me from Wendy.  She received it from her dear friend who started her chemo journey today.  "We must embrace our pain and burn it as fuel for our journey...the fight starts today!!"

Thursday is coming up fast.  Can't wait to get to the top of Chemo Mountain!  The visual is amazing.  Knowing I'll be 1/2 way done with this Chemo Trip.  

Please say an extra prayer, send super-sized energy my way on Thursday, 10:15am.  

I'll post a few more pictures later tonight, I hope.  

Love you!
