Coming to the end of spring break. I have to say, I actually enjoyed this staycation that S insisted on! I got a ton of things done along with having a really nice week.

Had a guy trim trees in the back, long overdue, but expensive!

Finished taxes. Getting refund from Fed, but have to pay to state. The refund covers what is due to state, with a few hundred left over. I suggested to H to have that go towards tree trimming costs, he said yes, of course. The taxes being done, and working out ok, is a HUGE relief to me.

Found and booked our beach house for our July vacation. I actually found a place on the coast, 40 minutes from us! It's a cottage, on a bluff, overlooking a state beach, with a path down to the beach right outside the door, and a gated yard for dog. Perfect! I was looking at condos in Malibu, and thinking, where does dog go potty?? Not to mention that would include a 5 hour trip. This works out perfect, it's reasonably priced, the reviews are outstanding, close to home, and S actually seems a little excited about all of that!

S and I took cat to the vet yesterday for her vaccines. S was so concerned for her, it is really sweet to see him comfort his animals when they are upset.

S and I have been enjoying each other so much this week. Talking, playing and just hanging out. He even asked me to marry him the other night. Lol, How sweet is that? He is just showing me how much he loves me, but how great is it that he associates marriage with love? Even after all that his mom and dad are going through?

We wished H a Happy birthday Tuesday morning. He replied that evening, pointing out a different thank you to each of us. He also face timed with S and showed us more terrible views out his window. He told us the plan for all the guys to go see a band that night, but back early for a 6 am meeting.

Yesterday H sent some pics of the Harley Davidson museum he was visiting. He comes home tonight, said he was looking forward to that, and was going to see if he could get Friday off since we are off.

Definitely more contact from him while away than expected.

Have a few more things planned the next few days, but otherwise, lots of down time. I am surprised I am not bored yet! I guess I really needed this.
