California countdown has begun!

This past weekend I was finally able to return to Pierre... to do laundry, yippee.  I was able to fly back on Thursday instead of Friday because we were unable to do testing on current application due to someone committing code before updating to head (only a programmer will get this statement, but any way, it broke the application which is realllllllly bad).  So, Heidi and I were told to catch an earlier flight and head home.

It was nice to be back on a Friday.  I was able to go out with people I haven't seen in so long!  Plus, it was one of my coworker's last day because he is moving to Arizona!  It was nice to be able to go out and celebrate his new endeavor.  Everyone is surely going to miss him!

On Saturday, I laid low and did a TON of laundry.  It really piles up when you're away for four weeks.  The best part is that I didn't need to clean my apartment because I left the place spotless four weeks prior.  It was a little hard being at home though without my partner in crime, Pip.  I sure do miss her company and our cuddling sessions.  My mom has informed me she has been taking great care of her and she's getting a lot of love and attention.

I leave for California in 9 days!  I get to spend time with family and friends and it's going to be awesome.  I can't wait to see everyone but it's going to be so hard to only be there for two days.  So much I want to do and people to see but not a whole lot of time to do it.  I'm definitely going to make the most of my time there. :)

And to leave you all with my precious niece, Isla Marie!
