I heart Newport.

I am sitting in an amazing villa in Newport Beach right now, courtesy of my great in-laws who let us use their time share for a week. It is beautiful here and the place is amazingly nice. I love waking up to overcast skies and having the temp. high be 75 degrees. We have spent lots of time in the pool and just hanging out together as a family. I love it. My parents and sister and her girls were able to join us for the first 2 days and then we had some friends who came up for a night and left this afternoon. I am trying not to think about the fact that when we return home on Sunday, we will have 2 weeks to pack up our lives and move our little family of four across the country...I still can't believe it. I am getting a little more used to the idea, but I don't think it will be real for awhile.
My dad had a doctors apt today at UCLA (he was getting a second opinion since the first doctor he went to was a ...-I can't really come up with something nice to say about him, so I won't say anything at all- my mom would be so proud :)
Anyways, they really liked the doctor they met with today. She spent a lot of time with them going over some different options they have. Unfortunately, their is no cure for the type of cancer that my dad has-as it is extremely rare, but the doctor is trying to get him into a clinical trial (and amazingly enough one of the trials she is looking into is in...you guessed it...Chicago!) How amazing woud that be! My dad is still amazingly upbeat- even prayed last night as me, my mom and sister sobbed around him- that God would do what is best for His glory even if it is something we don't like. He is the sweetest!
It was hard saying goodbye to all of them, knowing that I won't see them again before I move! My sister and I have gotted so accoustomed to seeing eachother almost everyday, so I know that this separation will be really hard for me. I am planning on coming back out to CA for her little boys birth though...so that will be fun. And after she has him, her and her hubby are moving out to Indiana and will only be 3.5 hours away from us...another blessing from God!
Ok, my eyes are tired and I want to go to bed. Goodnight. Sorry I have no pictures to post, don't have my cord :)
