just this past labor day weekend...

we got back from WA this past monday.
i miss everyone soooo much!
we had a lot of fun!
even it was just from early friday a.m. to early monday a.m.

just wanted to share some photos of this past weekend...

friday...

we had some lunch, inspection day of our rental properties...
then a nice jog/walk around rainier vista park with my hubby and selene.
it was such a beautiful, sunny day.
we then had dinner at my parents too.

saturday...

my hubby & I walked by heritage park and then saw a nice festival going on nearby.
so we took a walk and explored the vendors.
headed over to the farmer's market, then to mercato's for a drink.
mercato's is where we had our civil ceremony reception.
(used the Polandroid app for these pix....so cool!):

it was nice just chillin' there.

then that night we had dinner at my sis's place.

sunday...

brunch w/ the family at IHOP.

walked around Tumwater Falls.
hung out at the Capitol Mall.
pizza dinner at Inferno's.
then some strawberrry shortcake at my parents'.

monday....

headed home.

i miss WA.

i miss my family.

i'm missing...

Washington State...
WA weather...even the rain...
the change of weather too...

my friends...

but most especially...
my family...

can hardly wait for november to come around...
thanksgiving break will be with family...
yey-yah!
our baby will be over 4 months old by then...

i just really miss being there...
i miss our house...
living close to my sis and da fam...
living close to my parents and bro...
walking around the neighborhood...
being just 5-10 minutes away from target and wal-mart...
i have to travel over 30 minutes to get to one over here...sux...
lacey...
olympia downtown...
seattle...

feeling really home and family sick-o...

crossing my fingers...

but for now i'll try my best to enjoy my time here...
can hardly wait when my hubby comes back home...
i am really missing him too...
this deployment is different than the 1st one i went thru...
that's b/c i had family and friends nearby...
being in a different state and starting from scratch is hard...
but i'll get thru it with time...

i miss WA, my family and friends there...
i miss my hubby...
