Yesterday I had a lovely lunch with my dear friend, Mike. We went to a restaurant in Pinole called Tina's Place. If you haven't been it's really yummy and always packed! Of course, Mike ONLY ordered a side salad, which makes me crazy and will be a bone of contention for the rest of our lives!
Mike is the very first person I told about Aaron's crazy idea to travel around the world. I'll never forget it. I went to work and told him what Aaron had said and I laughed and said "Isn't that crazy?" and Mike looked at me completely seriously and said it sounded awesome and we should do it. About 8 months later, here we are. Mike has been my sounding board through it all and super excited for us every step of the way. Thanks Mike, you're the best!
After lunch, I dragged Aaron to the Travel Clinic with me, where I got my VERY LAST SHOT (at least for the next 6 months)! YAY! I was so elated, I can't even tell you. The shot was Yellow Fever, which burned like a mother, but I was so happy to be done, I barely even felt it (yea right, it was horrible!).
Then Aaron dragged me to Dick's Sporting Goods, to which we have never been and to which we will NEVER go again! Can I just say I have never been in a store that is more of a rip-off in my life! Never buy anything there because I guarantee you can find it somewhere, ANYWHERE else cheaper. It just made me mad that a store like that even existed. EWW! Go away, Dick!
That night, we went to Aaron's dad, Tim's house for dinner (spaghetti, delish!). It was really nice to hang out with the family one last time (including Tim's wife, Janice and Aaron's little sister, Timara). While we were there, I saw an old picture of Aaron and Timara, which of course I took a picture of and then had the bright idea to recreate. Have you seen those around lately? Where people recreate old photos? Well, you should DO IT because it was hilarious and adorable! Here's the first picture we did (keep in mind these pictures are almost 10 years apart):
Isn't it just the cutest?? Sometimes people even try to wear the same outfits as the first picture, which would have taken it to another level, but we didn't have that kinda time. Next we had Andrew step up:

OMG isn't it crazy how time flies??? Here's another one of Aaron:
He had to stand on a stool to appear taller than her! She's getting so big! It's even nostalgic for me because I've known her for 5 years now, and even since then she's totally different. I wish I could just stop time until we get back, I don't think I'll be able to cope with having her grow without us here. Anyway, we love you guys and will miss you lots!
HOMEWORK: Find some old photos and do recreations. They are so super fun and it's really interesting (yet, maybe slightly depressing) to see how you've grown and changed.
EXTRA CREDIT: Try to duplicate your outfits, if you can. It'll just take it over the top!
