Back to California next week! I?m excited to be making the journey. We got to see snow and a tornado while back in our home state of Oklahoma (thunder/electricity storms are Kinny?s and my favorite weather). It was a little crazy on the 10th when the tornado blew through the Chucky Cheese where my cousin?s 4-year-old son had a party just the weekend before, on the 7th. Fortunately, where we have been staying just got rain and
wind.

I just wanted to let you know that I will be back in Oceanside next week and I will be taking appointments at The Wellness Center in the AM Thurs the 26th and on Sat. the 28th. Then for 3 to 4 weeks of March I will take appointments on Monday afternoon/evenings and Thursday mornings. If you are interested in making an appointment you can call them directly at 760-726-9660, they will be keeping my schedule for me. Otherwise if you want
to talk to me, of course my cell and email will still be working. I will be out of
commission on the computer for most of next week though, so my cell phone will be the best way to get in touch with me Feb 16th to 22nd. After that I should be settled and have more time to check email.

We plan to be in Oceanside through most of March, then start our tour of the U.S. after that. Our travel trailer is waiting for us in Oceanside and we are looking forward to checking it out and starting our camping tour. I do have updated pictures on my blog from the last few weeks. Please visit www.mindandbodyfitness.net/blog to check them out. Be Well!

Wow what an exciting week.   I had some of my out of state family and friends calling because they heard about the torndado here on Feb 10th.  Fortunately we were out of the path of the tornado, but not by far (just a few miles).  Below are pictures of my cousin’s son (Easton) who turned 4 on Feb 7th.  His birthday party was at the Chucky Cheese that’s been all over the news because the tornado hit it.  Anyway, here are pictures of the party.

 Here are a couple of pictures of Easton with his cake.

My Cousin Brian and his Wife Shelby (Easton’s parents)

Dylan dancing with the mechanical Chucky.

This first picutre was taken at a restaurant with good friends.  A friend I’ve known for many years (Mark) had his birthday on the 28th, so Kinny, me, Mark and his wife Codi all went to eat.  You can tell we were bundled because it was in the middle of the nasty weather.  The rest of the pix were taken at my moms house in the yard with Kinny, Dylan the dogs and myself.  Then ironically enough another good friend of mine (that I’ve know since I was 4 years old) had her birthday on the 28th as well.  Unfortunately I didn’t get pics, but she lives outside of the city a bit and after the weather cleared a little, Kinny and I went over to their place for the birthday.  We talked until 5 am, slept till 11/12ish and then played rock band all day.  Kinny’s mom had Dylan and Deena and Johns kids are mostly grown and out of the house so it was a truely stress free time;  I can’t remember when I’ve had that much fun.

My 7 year old niece is in cheer and they were competing last Sunday (on the 25th) so I went to watch.  Unfortunately it was pretty dark in the stadium so my pix inside didn’t turn out very well.  They did take first place in their division at the National Competition though so needless to say there was a lot of excitement surrounding the event!

My sister had just bought her a rose after their performance.

Chey, me and Trinity at the stadium.

Well Brian deployed on the 24th.  I went to the National Guard and watched as they got on the bus and then we followed them to the airport.  This was a very different experience than what Marines get.  With Brian, when we got to the airport they gave us all passes so we could wait at the gait until his plane arrived.  During all of Kinny’s deployments we waited outside (for hours) while the units got organized, loaded up on the buses and left.  I never got to go to the airport with him. Oh the difference between Marines and other brances of he armed service….. enough on that…… Brian’s family is just glad he will still be on US soil for the next 4 weeks training before actually going overseas. Anyway here are some pics.
