It was an afternoon like any other. I had left my phone in the other room and to my great misfortune, had missed 2 whole phone calls! The time stamps were 4:00 p.m. and 4:10 p.m. Each missed call was from an older sister of mine and each older sister was requesting my presence in their home for a few days to assist in some way. Okay, so it wasn't so much of a "rescue" as it was a "helping hand because I'm the sister with not a whole lot going on." I accepted both offers and took 3 flight legs: Las Vegas to Oakland (then to Fairfield to babysit for Leslie), from Oakland to Long Beach (to help Tina with her "nesting/clean-sweeping"), then Long Beach to Las Vegas. Ty came with me leaving Russell a bunch of quiet time to focus and study. We knew we would miss him, but it was a beneficial trip for all parties involved. In my final cake decorating class (Wilton basics at Joann's) I made this cake. It's not super impressive, but it did taste good!
In order to not have to pay the baggage fee for Virgin America, I packed all of our (Ty and me) stuff in a duffle bag and his diaper bag and carried them on. Although we knew we'd be gone for 7 days, we also knew we had use of a washing machine, dryer, and family members' clothing. (Thanks again for the church clothes, mom.) And off we went!
