San Diego quick trip

Jeremy needed to head down for the Tijuana temple groundbreaking last month, so we decided to use our free companionship ticket & make a family trip out of it!

I was very anxious/nervous to travel with a baby, but honestly Kingsley did very well! The worst part was probably packing all his junk. 

He slept both ways on the plane. I was super annoyed on our flight home as we offered the girl sitting in between us the window seat. She then text her mom with her phone in plain view "Ugh sitting next to a baby!" Seriously how rude, when he hadn't even done anything, he never even made a peep. As you may have seen on my Instagram, I wanted to text my mom about that fact that she was way too chubby to be wearing spandex & had make up that looked a week old! So gross, I feel like we really got the raw end of the deal.

Anyways on a lighter note, Kingsley was very excited to get to hang out at his girl 

Samantha's house that was conveniently just up the road from our hotel.

 He also got to meet a new friend Eames. He was a little nervous hanging out with the older kids I guess.

 We walked to old town one of the nights for a delicious Sushi dinner. So great since I had been missing it all those months of pregnancy.

 The next day I meet up with Chris, Amy & the boys to go to the San Diego zoo. So sad I don't even have one picture of all of us, but it was a little hectic with how crowded it was! (Jeremy wouldn't let me take my camera on the trip with us so all of these are iphone pictures) Definitely one of the best work outs I've had in a long time walking around that place because it's so huge!!

That night we all headed over to Chris & Amy's hotel in downtown SD where they had the nicest pool. We were even ghetto & brought our own pizza.. ha

Rachelle & I pretended like we were on vacation in Hawaii :)

Moms & babies :)

Obviously I thought you couldn't see under the water...it was a little cold.

That next morning we headed to the pancake house for breakfast with the Kemp clan.

Where I got a german pancake bigger than my child! It seriously was so huge, but I was happy I almost ate 3/4's of it :)

 That Sunday we headed over to the Tate's to BBQ & hang out.

 Kingsley hanging out with cousin Truman.

It was so fun to see our California friends and family. We miss them as we used to see them often when we would come up from MX to hang out. Good Times.

 We had so much fun that we all needed a good nap to recover ;)

On the out

Today is Jeremy's official last day off work! We can't believe it.. (This was all written yesterday, but the power went out before I could post it)  He is really sad to leave all his employees & friends. I feel sorry for him, to lose all these people he has built relationships with over the last 9 years.. I think he will especially miss the people in his own office that he is with almost every day. Poor guy.. Maybe he will post about it later. Anyways not to be a downer because I'm positive we will come back to visit & I am sure he will stay in touch via the phone or good old facebook :) So Utah friends he may need a shoulder to cry on for a bit while he is missing his mexican homies..

So I wanted to try & document as much as I can while we are still here & before the craziness of the move & adjusting to a new job starts in. Plus I don't want to forget these last moments of our time here in San Felipe. As of yesterday the weather has been amazing at 75-80 degrees which really doesn't make us happy to leave when we hear it is snowing in Utah :( My poor husband is going to have a melt down in the cold weather..

Anyways our day as of yesterday went as follows:

The movers came & loaded up everything out of our garage this morning. It was amazing how quickly the 3 of them got everything loaded. 

I think they must play a lot of tetris to get everything packed & loaded in the right spot :)

Jer with the trailer. It was too bright for me to see this picture was so blurry.. wah wah

The whole packing up process has been pretty smooth since my husband is kinda a drill sergeant when it comes to getting tasks done & had me start packing weeks ago doing a little at a time. I have to thank him though because it really eased the stress of doing it all at one time.

That afternoon we at lunch outside at the Pavilian with our neighbor Rich. Man I am going to miss authentic chips & salsa. I am also really going to miss Jeremy not getting to come home & eat lunch with me everyday, which is something I definitely take for granted that he can just shoot over to the house if I need something or miss him.

After lunch & some work Jeremy let Diesel & I tag along with him golfing. Honestly this surprises even me, but I think the thing I may miss the most about leaving here is being able to ride around in the golf cart to spend time with Jeremy during the day. Lately I go out with him sometimes even 2-3 times a week. In the beginning I really resented Jeremy's golfing, & never wanted to have anything to do with it, but even though I don't enjoy to play myself I find that I love to ride around & spend time with him doing something he loves. Diesel loves it too. This may sound like animal cruelty but he loves to run in front of the golf cart & have us chase him. Weird I know.. Especially that he doesn't want to chase after behind the cart.. I think he wants to show the golf cart he is the alpha male, so we let him be the boss & don't run him over :) I will have to video it, because it's super funny.

That's Jeremy's office bldg in the background.

This is my favorite hole overlooking the water & town. I know the grass looks dead, but it just goes dormant over the winter & will start to green up now that spring/summer is here. (see these are the useful things I learn out golfing with Jer :))

That night all Jeremy's co workers planned a going away get together down at the Jollymon for pizza & beer. We thought that was kinda funny on the invite since we both don't drink, but they thought it was hilarious whenever we were taking a picture to try & put their beer in front of us so it would look like we were. Silly people. I don't think we will be going to be going to any sports bars with Jeremy's new job, that's for sure..

Starting at the left we have Jesus, Jeremy, myself, Lupita, Antonio, Richie, Ivan, Jolio, Ricardo, Bebo, Nacho, & Daniel.

I hung out for pizza but then left so Jeremy could really enjoying being with his friends without having to translate everything back & forth for me.

They got Jeremy to sing La Cucaracha after I had left. Check out the bottom left of this photo.. That's right apparently it's not a big deal to bring your kid to the bar! Things like this don't even phase us anymore. haha

 He had a wonderful time & was feeling really nostalgic when he came back home. He keeps saying how he has lived down here for a third of his life, which is pretty crazy. He will miss his San Felipe buddies tons but hopefully we will be back to visit soon.

BIg News!!

I guess it's time to share the big news... 

Jeremy has accepted a new job working with the church!

He will be working in the Temple & Special Projects division, his first project being the Tijuana Temple, as well as the San Diego visitors center.

We couldn't be more excited for this opportunity!

As you may have guessed that also means we are moving out of San Felipe, MX. 

Jeremy has lived here almost 9 years & 2 1/2 years for me now!! Basically our whole married life how crazy is that!?

We will be moving to Utah March 1st. I can't believe I am moving home in less then 2 weeks!

I have mixed emotions because though I am very excited to move closer to our families & familiar territory, I will also surprisingly miss San Felipe & all the memories we have made here.

I hope to document our house and things around town before we leave so as not to forget anything.

We are excited for this adventure with a new job, house & baby. Hopefully we can survive all these big changes :)

embroidered onesie's

Of all the crafts I have meddled in embroidery has been the only that has stuck. Ya.. no more sewing or jewelry making for me. I'm like an old lady, I love to get some thread & just stitch away for hours. And because I love anything mini, embroidering on onesie's for little tykes is my favorite! Here are a couple I stitched up for some new babes in my life...

Jeremy is always begging me to sale my work instead of letting them pile up in my craft room, so I am considering opening up my own etsy shop & selling onesie's with embroidered details. Now here's where you come in.. Good idea? Something worth a try? Awesome? or nothing new? I would LOVE to hear your opinion. Please spare any thoughts you have. Thanks a million!
