The Best Unexpected Surprises

Best surprises are when Eden texts randomly, and even better is when she send me reels on Instagram like this


We don't talk every day but usually text at least once a day. And that's actually pretty good for me. ❤️ As long as I have proof of life, I'm good! 😁

Home without Eden

She's gone to college... It has been two days since we left our oldest in a new city for college. It's such a strange feeling knowing she isn't living here anymore. Nothing else has changed - except that she's gone. And knowing that the next time she comes back, she'll somehow be different because of all the new experiences she is having.  But don't get me wrong. I love that she is having fun in college. That's where she is supposed to be.  A good fridge cry This morning I was cleaning out the fridge and saw her sourdough starter jars, greek yogurt dips, leftover Panera sandwich, and half-eaten banana and I just started crying!

UCSD Family Weekend

Alan and I flew down to SD on a Friday morning for UCSD family weekend! Even though Eden was leaving that same day to go to Friendship Games, we got to see her that morning, walk her to class and have lunch with her in La Jolla! Always a treat to see our baby girl however short the time is.  The rest of the weekend we toured campus, went to some seminars and Open Houses, got free stuff and food! and went to a UCSD basketball game. We even got to do the mini zipline that they have on campus for free!

The New Normal

New Normal It's been a while since I've blogged and I guess it's because I've been getting used to the new normal. Without Eden around. It's actually not too bad if I don't think about it. We still talk and text. She tells us about her new friends, clubs, classes and it's like she just away on retreat or something.  I've stopped checking her location every hour but still worry when I see her out at 10pm.  She's been getting free groceries at the Basic Needs center on campus, which is open to all students! Check out her haul this week: Disney concert Took Emmy and Mahalia and Kaya to the Disney Worlds Collide concert on Saturday at Chase Center! Their first concert, so of course Jen and David wanted to be there and changed their plans to come with us! I only knew songs from the Descendants series but Emmy was fangirling over Malachi Barton. I loved seeing her reliving her childhood and belting out the Descendants songs that we both know and love. Even...
