Julie's Journal

Boy am I tired! I woke up yesterday with a cold, and now I’ve got a running/stuffy nose, watery eyes, and I can’t stop sneezing. We had a really great weekend though! We drove down the California to surprise Michael’s dad for his birthday, and he was REALLY surprised. We had dinner with the whole family, then drove out to their house to spend the night.

In the morning we got up and went up the mountain to Idyllwild. My ex’s family has had a cabin up there for years, and we all spent a great amount of time up there on the weekends. They finally put it on the market, as no one has used it in over 8 years, and it sold really quickly. I wanted to take one last look at it, get some pictures, and take a few items home that had some sentimental value to me. There was even some of the boys baby clothes that I found in a drawer.

It was bittersweet, and I shed a few tears while I was there. Not really because I missed it, but because my boys grew up there, and so many happy times were spent there. I hope the new owners create as many good memories there as we did.
