A fun…but busy weekend

Renae — Mon, 25 May 2009 17:16:37 +0000

Well it is Monday, Memorial Day! ¬†This has been a long but very fun weekend. ¬†James, Ruth, and I left Thursday at 3:30 to head up to San Francisco for the Family Gathering in honor of Grandma Margie. ¬†We got to Mom and Dad’s house around 11:30 pm and headed to bed. ¬†We were all tired from the drive, we had hit traffic in LA.

On Friday morning we were up around 7:00 am and on the road by 9:00 am. ¬†We were heading up to Oroville where the Family Gathering was going to be. ¬†We took our time on the trip and got in just before 1:00 pm. ¬†We then started getting things ready for Saturday. ¬†We went to the store, printed pictures, cleaned the house, organized food, took a walk, and played with Melissa. ¬†We had a great time and were all ready for the next day. ¬†

On Saturday morning family started to arrive at 11:00 am. ¬†We had a great turnout, about 75 people showed up to honor Grandma Margie. ¬†It was great to meet family members that I hadn’t gotten to before. ¬†Being with Melissa and the rest to the family made the whole day perfect. ¬†We left there around 4:00 pm and enjoyed a quiet evening at home. ¬†

Of course on Sunday we had church and the a Memorial Day church picnic. ¬†It was freezing and no one had the proper clothing so we went to Target and found absolutely nothing to help keep us warm. ¬†We headed to the Giant’s Dugout… a store that sells only Giants gear. ¬†We found sweatshirts, beanies, and jackets to keep us warm. ¬†Then we headed to the park. ¬†It was a lot of fun even if it was really cold. ¬†We got home around 4:00 pm and the siblings started to go through old pictures with their parents…Melissa and I both took a nap. ¬†James fixed dinner and dessert. ¬†We enjoyed spending time together as a family.

Today we are going through more pictures and having Bar-B-Qued porkloin for lunch. ¬†We are also going to make ice cream. ¬†James, Ruth, and I plan to leave around 2:00 pm and head back to LA. ¬†I have really enjoyed being with the family.

Melissa has entertained us all… she will sign words or say them. ¬†She now signs and says Auntie and Uncle. ¬†She also says Grandma and Grandpa. ¬†She is a charmer and so cute. ¬†I love her and am really going to miss her. ¬†I am glad that we got a lot of pictures of her. ¬†I also got video footage of her playing with all of her aunties and uncles. ¬†

It has been a great trip. Pictures will be up soon. ¬†I will let you know.

A long weekend

Renae — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 19:43:11 +0000

Well, in a nut shell my weekend has been really long! ¬†On Sunday Morning I stayed home from church because of a really bad headache! ¬†Around 12:30 I got a text message from Ruth telling me that my dad had gone to ER! ¬†I¬†immediately tried to call my mom, but got no answer so I called my brother and he had no idea what was going on! ¬†So I called Pomona Valley Hospital and my dad was in the emergency room there! ¬†So I texted James and told him and he came home from church right away! ¬†We proceeded to pack some stuff up so we could stay overnight and headed up to Pomona! ¬†We got there around 1:30 and he had been in the ER since 8:00! ¬†Around 3:00 they admitted them and moved him up to a room! ¬†They diagnosed him with diverticulosis and started treating him with antibiotics and morphine for the pain! ¬†His blood pressure was really high also so they were giving him potassium for that! ¬†We spent the afternoon there with my dad and then headed to church! ¬†After church we brought my mom food and then headed to the Harvey’s for some food and games! ¬†We got home around 9:30 and got ready for bed! ¬†

Monday morning around 8:00 my mom headed back to the hospital to spend time with dad! ¬†Ruth came over and we headed that direction around 10:00! ¬†James meet us there because we had to run an errand before we went to see them! ¬†Ruth and I were heading out to Ontario Mills to purchase some shoes and James decided to stay at the hospital with my parents! ¬†Around 1:00 James and Tim came and picked me up from the dorm and we went to get food for all of us! ¬†We got back to the hospital and Tim, Mom, and James decided to play Phase 10! ¬†They played until 4:00 when Tim had to leave to go to work! ¬†James and I left around 4:30 to go and get my allergy shots and then we headed back to the house to pack up all our stuff! ¬†We then went to the hospital to gather the stuff we left there! ¬†We left the hospital around 6:00 and headed home! ¬†We got home and went to Matt’s house for a Bible Study and then went home and went to bed. ¬†Around 10:45 I got a text message from Tim telling me that my dad was being discharged! ¬†I asked him to have Mom call me when they got home and so I got a phone call around 12:00! ¬†

This morning I took James to work at 6:30 and went ¬†home to get a little more sleep before I headed up to see my parents! ¬†I got there around 9:30 and have been hanging out ever since! ¬†My dad is doing much better and I have enjoyed being able to spend time with him! ¬†Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts! ¬†We really appreciate them!

Christmas with the Wilson’s

Renae — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 21:29:59 +0000

So this is going to be part one of Christmas’ posts! ¬†Last night, James and I went to Lighthouses Cantata and then headed to my parents house so we could do Christmas with them! ¬†Since we were going to be in San Francisco for Christmas we wanted to give my parents their gifts before we left! ¬†So after church we headed home and my mom made pizza. ¬†While it was cooking we talked and enjoyed time together. ¬†After we ate we opened our gifts! ¬†Some of the things I got were: a pair of black and a pair of khaki pants from my parents, Ratatouille from Rebekah and Matt. ¬†James got: a nice dress shirt and tie from my parents, a journal from my parents, a gun for out Wii from Rebekah and Matt. ¬†We also got a couple gifts together. ¬†We got: a GPS from Tim, and a set of Wii Sports Nerf controllers from my parents! ¬†All in all we had a wonderful time and enjoyed being with them! ¬†

At 6:00 this morning we loaded up our truck and headed out for San Francisco! ¬†We made the trip in almost exactly 6 hours! ¬†We only made one stop and that was for gas and the bathroom! ¬†It is nice to be out of the car and able to relax for a little bit! ¬†

Merry Christmas

Extra Long Weekend

Renae — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 02:07:31 +0000

Okay so maybe it wasn’t as long as I would have liked, but I did have Monday off so that was nice! ¬†On Saturday, James, Ruth, Mom, Dad, and I went to lunch, a movie, dinner, and downtown Disney! ¬†It made for a busy but very fun family day! ¬†We had Mexican food for lunch, and PF Chang’s for dinner! ¬†It was nice to have Ruth with us for the whole weekend! ¬†Mom and Dad left on Sunday morning before church. ¬†Ruth went home around 2:30 on Sunday afternoon! ¬†On Monday, I went shopping with Anna. ¬†We had a great time! ¬†She just moved to SoCal, because she just got married. ¬†So we have a little bit in common! ¬†We had a great time of fellowship and fun! ¬†I am looking forward to going again soon! ¬†I hope you all have a great week!

Fun in the City

Renae — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 17:26:02 +0000

Yesterday we came back to Mom and Dad’s from Sacramento. ¬†The conventions ended at noon and we were back by 3:00. ¬†Around 4:00 pm we headed to BART and went into downtown San Francisco! ¬†We had a lot of fun walking around. ¬†We had Starbuck’s, went to the Apple Store, and The Giants store! ¬†I love the city! ¬†It was a little overcast and cool, but not cold! ¬†We got home and watched Brian Regan. ¬†It was a fun relaxing day! ¬†It rained last night so I am not sure what we are going to do today! ¬†We are having a lot of fun! ¬†Hope you are having a good weekend!
