• Last weekend when everyone was enjoying the nice weather in Michigan we got to see snow when we took the dogs to the vet in Tehachapi. They apparently had a lot of snow, we just got rain. It was also really cold here.

• Also, when my mom and dad were here we went to this pizza place (mostly because I wanted BLT pizza). It was a small restaurant, but it had really good pizza and some of the meals on the menu sounded pretty delicious. So we went last week and we both tried their subs and their breadsticks. I think it may be one of our favorite restaurants out here. Another plus is that it's RIGHT off base, so only about 15-20 minutes from our house.
• We are attempting to plan a trip home the end of May. Actually, the last weekend in May which happens to be President's Day. Ryan hasn't been home in almost a year and I think he's really hoping it works out (whether or not he'll admit that is truly another story).
• I picked up some more books and onesies for Dominick. We thought they looked like shirts that Ryan would wear. The plaid shirt even has the sleeves rolled up, which Ryan totally does! :)
• This upcoming weekend we have made plans to go to the Los Angeles Zoo with some of our friends and their little girl. We're pretty excited to just get off base and go someplace new.

• Ryan had his board today for Airman of the Quarter. He didn't have high hopes going into it and he said it went ok, but doesn't think he got it. He said that he messed up a couple of times. I think it's really cool that he even got to go up (even though he says everyone gets to from the med group as long as they're approved by their flight). **Update** Tonight at dinner he said that tomorrow he will find out that he didn't get AOTQ. (his words not mine)
• We are pretty sure he is going to go TDY for about 5 days in the early summer. He's pretty excited about it and it should be a really good opportunity for him. He's still waiting on a couple of other things to be approved.
• When I first found out I was pregnant, I joined a childrens book swap. Surprisingly we got 8 books or so; he's got quite the little library started. We hope it continues to grow!

• We've been having a couple of our favorite meals that my mom makes and we've been loving it. Lettuce, bacon and eggs, mince and totties, and we even are going to buy the ingredients for ham loaf. We've only made it once since we've been in California and it was a lot of work (since we can't actually buy it pretty much ready to go).
• I'm almost finished with our registry. A lot of people have been asking about it and once it's ready I'll send it to everyone. Since we don't have a Baby's R Us near us (it's basically a Toys R Us with a small baby section) or really any baby store, we just did an online registry. You don't have to buy from the website; I even think it'll give you the option of clicking "bought from somewhere else" so nobody else buys it.You don't even have to buy anything at all! :)
