March Blahs
March has been a fairly uneventful month for us here. My time has mostly been spent relaxing and working on a quilt panel for a friend (see photos below). I just sent it off today, which was nice (Congrats Brandi and Steve!). We also have been paying off some debt with a portion of our tax return as well choosing a tile for the downstairs (we finally have a winner!). That project will be starting within a few weeks, whenever the tile comes in. Work has continued to be busy, but the pressure has decreased as two of our aides FINALLY passed their license exam for physical therapy assistants. That, and another therapist will be starting in a couple of weeks has really helped things at work. This week is only one of three days, which is exciting, as I am leaving Thursday for cold MN (of course, the cold comes when I am going to be there) for Lisa's wedding. I am really excited to see everyone and have some fun celebrating. That's all for now! I can't believe we are already looking at April! Time sure does fly!

Hot Weekend
I can't believe this is the last weekend in February! We have had a gorgeous weekend here that has been borderline hot at times! I hate to complain, but there it is.
Saturday we went to the Wild Animal Park in Escondido, which is almost into San Diego. It is a part of the San Diego zoo, but it tries to make the environment more "wild." Nick got free tickets when he was at a conference there on Friday, so we made the trip on Saturday. It was fun-lots of things to see-but I underestimated the heat and was beat by 3 PM. It's a huge park and we made it to most of it, but both of us were ready to call it a day. We missed out on a few of the gardens, the elephants and the gibbons. We did take the "Journey into Africa" which is a "bus" ride around the "wild" portion of the park. It was a fun day, especially since the tickets were free. I don't know if it would have been worth it for the two of us paying $45 a ticket. It was also a birth control moment with all of the kids running around being brats!
Today, we have taken it easier. It has also been beautiful here today again. I did some work in the yard, ran a few errands, took Sierra for a walk, and went to Starbucks at the town center for cooling a drink. It's hard to believe that it is winter everywhere else when it's been so nice here.
This week is a four day one for me, but long days. One of our therapists is at a horse physical therapy class in Florida for two weeks, so I've been covering the clinic for a lot more hours since she's been gone. She is back Friday, so I have the day off. Nick is also off Friday because of the furlough. It is supposed to be more seasonable temperatures by then.
Here are some photos of our Wild Animal Park day-enjoy!
