Sort of a Plan..

Well Charlie and I have finally figured out the next 4-6 months of our life! I am sure everyone loves how we can still do that...

We decided to ship my car out to New York for a great price with a company that has their own trucks and good reviews. They gave us an estimate of about 13-17 days which is great AND they were about 200$ cheaper than their competitors so CHECK

We bought our tickets to NY for May 12 with an airline that doesn't charge for the first 2 bags..Which is GREAT now my overpacking tendencies will not cost me extra CHECK

We are ready for the family vacation to the lake house in Texas May 29 [btw we can't wait to see everyone :-] CHECK

I have my summer nanny job and a few other places to apply part time to make some serious mula CHECK

We have a friend staying at a house in Costa Rica for two months and has invited us to come and stay rent free so I think we figured out our next vacation CHECK

Drive back to CA CHECK

Get apartment & go to school [ still rough draft hahah] CZECH!!

Thats all for now..keep you posted on the inbetween

Brentwood Part 2

As most of the family knows Charlie and I are back in Brentwood, California to help out his Grandma R. Because of the new addition (Addy Young) Barb, John and Rachel went back to Virginia to help out the Youngs, and so grandma wouldn't have to be alone Charlie and I are here helping her out. She is doing ok. She needs help remembering when to take medicine and eating proper foods to help her regain her strength. We are happy we could come here to help :) I took a few pictures from the last few days.. Our "walks" with Gilgo in the pink golfcart and Charlie and I's first attempt at making our own pizza [which actually turned out better then any frozen stuff we have bought but not comparable to a NY slice]!
I also took a picture of one of the golfcourse views from his Grandma's house..
I think its a pretty funny image..Charlie and I driving around a dog, in a pink golf cart in a retired community...a little out of place!!
I will try to take some pictures of all of us on Easter. Oh yeah..
Happy Easter everyone!

Math is OVER!!!!

Charlie needed two more math classes for his AA. Yesterday he took his final and got a 94% !!!!!!
He is relieved to have it over. It was pretty stressful at times because it was a condensed 8 week course. But my math genius finished and survived. Now he is one class away! I have a picture of him with his tutor Kiran.

Sequence

I don't think I had ever played sequence before I met Charlie and his family. Now it is a game that we play 3-5 times a week. Before I started to play I am sure I would have thought " thats a game for old maids" but that is not the case!!!

The Psillos's & Rathgebers have turned me onto a whole new competitive outlook to this game :D And now Charlie and I have passed it onto our friends. Maybe for more practice when the summer comes? Maybe the thrill of whooping each others butt? Or maybe pure love of the game! HA!! Anywho, we have managed to get our friends as addicted as us and our weekends have consisted of more sequences games then I would like to admit..

START PRACTICING PSILLOS....SUMMERS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!! :D

My Precious Hercules!

Here are a few pictures of our new canine best friend..although he compares no where close to our baby Johnson he is still a cutie. He is starting to grow on Charlie but he definitely had to prove himself..!!!!

And as you can see he is pretty much loved by all :D

Overdue SF pictures

Well here are some pictures from our trip to Brentwood. I am sorry I don't have any that are ACTUALLY taken in Brentwood or Antioch but it is the general area :)

These are from when Charlie and I took a day trip into San Francisco. We went to the Golden Gate surf spot, the wharf, aquarium, and a few other sites!

EXNAY on the MEXICAY

Well I promised a post a while ago about an upcoming trip Charlie and I were planning.

The reason I took so long to write about it is because it fell through!!! Sort of..

We were planning on traveling down to Oaxaca, Mexico. We have been in touch with a man there who started an English Academy. He was going to let us come to stay there for a week, for free w/ one meal a day, in exchange for 3-4 hours of working with his students. Well we were all gun ho about it until we started to add up the cost and do in depth research.

Our agenda was going to be to cross over to TJ and fly out of there (12 hour flights with connection to Juarez --YIKES! Then take a 4 hour bus ride to the town to Tehuantepec. Which is about a 20 minute drive from Salinas Cruz (Epic surf spot). So that whole journey not including getting around, renting boards, hiring guide, extra mula for food would set us back about 700$. We WOULD be willing to pay it IF we were going for a month or so but it is not the case. So we spoke to our friend Viktor and he told us we can come in a few months if we like. It is a great opportunity thats why i was reluctant to post-pon it but I think it is all for the best.

So now we are just trying to focus on CHarlies damn online math class and our plans for the rest of the year!

Once we figure something out we will post it. I have a few pictures from our stay at Charlie's Grandmother's house so check back soon!
