BIG FAT check in!

Nevada, 107, no wonder your beverage of choice is water you are trying not to turn into people jerky, that is HOT!

Cancun is beautiful, hope you make it there soon. I have a friend who grew up here his whole like, never knew anywhere else. He didn’t find out until college that he didn’t have a social security number, his mom told him she came on over to visit family and just never left. He still go in on a running scholarship (marathon runner, all star high school champion) Fast forward 10 years and he punched a guy in the face because he slept with his wife and got deported. English is his first language, he has never been to Mexico, no family he knows really. They asked him where he wanted to be dropped and he said Cancun because he knew it was a beautiful spot. So he writes comic books in Cancun, pretty surreal. He is a really cool guy. I love Cancun and I obviously love telling stories for no reason! sorry about that.

If you go let me know.

I totally hope your foster baby gets a forever family with you, what a beautiful way to find your child. I loved switched at birth!

You totally have to hop on a plane, take it from someone who irrationally terrified and sure I am going to be in a plane crash right before every trip I have ever taken. I write out a will, I can’t sleep, I feel sick as we board the plane sometimes I cry but once I am up there something changes and it feels magical. Over the years I am less silly about it but still afraid, I tell myself you can be afraid and stay at home or be afraid and end up on a beautiful beach drinking a cocktail out of a coconut. The beach wins every time.

OOOh long timer! nice. I love Oregon, keep thinking I will move to Bend but something always comes up. The Pacific Northwest was home for four years, hated the rain and always being cold but I loved lush forest land, great places to drink tea, eat deserts, and listen to someone sing sweet songs in a corner of a coffee shop. Such brilliant down to earth folks the more north you go.

Golden-doodle, my little wanted a dog so bad (I did not, I am not dog people, I am allergy people). A friend had one that didn’t affect me much unless I rubbed my eyes after petting him. We found one that was being re-homed, he was still a puppy and they were moving to hong-kong for business unexpectedly. He is giant, I mean the biggest doodle I have ever seen, he is sweet, smelly, and totally smart. I am still not dog people but my little loves him more than anything in the whole world, even Pokemon cards.

Central Oregon is gorgeous, my parents have a farm over there along with in the valley. I can’t go over anymore because the altitude makes me sick (I also can’t fly right now, since I can’t be much over 100’ altitude without getting sick and I have to be on altitude meds even at 50’). Just a fair warning the people here are somewhat rude (not as bad as NY or LA lol) due to a lack of sunshine and everyone has to take vit D. But it’s gorgeous and it’ll be rough to leave, not sure where I’ll end up since it’ll depend on sweethearts career (environmental science can take you all over) but I highly recommend living here if you ever get the chance!

Gabrielle, it’s good to be the baby of the family :blush: Its nonfin being the eldest in “real life” :joy: jacket potatoes are what I think you call baked potatoes, my favourite is with tuna and mayonnaise but my kids love cheesy beans on theirs. A fry up is just bacon, sausage egg, beans, toast. Also known as a full english breakfast :blush: very nice, but not very healthy so it tends to be reserved for special occasions. Or on holiday in a caravan the the absolute best and a very essential part of every morning :blush:
No I wouldnt recomend either of those program’s at the moment, especially the walking dead! Last man on earth is funny, I love it x
