October visit to Cali


















Bay and I went to Cali Oct 10-14 to visit Adam. Adam and I also went to his 20 year HS reunion. Can you believe we are that old??? We won an award because we had been married the longest. One other mormon couple were married 19 years but we had them by a few months. Our award was a big bottle of wine!! Of course, we gave it away. People were surprised we had stayed together so long. In January we will have been married for 20 years!!!!! Now that's an accomplishment. Without sounding too mushy - Our marriage is better now than 20 years ago - and get's better every year. Anyway - we flew in Friday morning and took Bay to Magic Mountain. We went on everything - Bay was ready to go on every ride. I had to be convinced to go on a few rides - but I did go. Bay has no fear - just like her dad. We stayed with mom and dad Dickson and had the best Sunday dinner. We visited Ben and family, saw my dad and we even saw Jess and twins (she was in Cali at the same time as we were). We got to see JR and family - those kids are so cute!! Ethan has grown so much. I missed my mom - she was touring with the Musical "Menopause" on the East Coast. She plays an X-soap star. She is great at it and will be reprising her role again when it comes to San Diego in February. We visited the beach and Bay got in the freezing water without a wet suit. Adam didn't even want to get in!!! Bay has no nerve endings! I could barely get my feet wet. The trip went by too fast. It get's harder and harder to say good-bye to Adam. We REALLY miss him and are aiming for End of November to make it to Cali so we can be together again.
