I left Aric and the kiddies over the weekend for a short trip up North to visit my BFF and her new bundle of joy. 
I got in late Friday, grabbed a late night nosh of KFC with Wing and Em, and hung out with my parents for a bit. My folks had just flown in from Taiwan a couple of hours before me, so needless to say, they were pretty tired.
Saturday was QT with Bett and baby Cooper. OMG, he is sooooo precious!…sooooo tiny!….sooooo perfect! I just couldn’t stop hogging and gobbling and staring at the baby. As always, it was awesome hanging with Bett. Our one-on-one times have come far and few over the years, so I really cherished my time with her. We even got to sneak away for a few hours (thanks, Chew!) and relive our younger days by sharing snacks at Hot Dog on a Stick, trying on clothes that no longer fit our body type (:lol:), and hanging/shopping at the mall. HAHAHA!
We had dinner with some of Chew’s friends at Sushi Maru (a place I missed a lot)…and hung out until 1am. I would have stayed longer….but knowing that it would cut into Bett’s sleep and throw off her pumping/feeding schedule, I really had to force myself to leave.

After returning to my parents’ place, I discovered my mom waiting up for me. It felt a little strange since it’s been ages since she’s done that. Very touching. I knew she had a long day (honoring esteemed Asians at an awards event earlier that day) and fighting jet-lag, and I felt bad for not calling (I assumed she had just gone to bed). But Mom just wanted to catch up a bit before my flight the next morning.
I flew out Sunday at noon….and went straight to Grace and James’ from the airport for a SuperBowl party. So that was pretty much my weekend… very eventful and very fun.
A BIG THANKS to Aric for….well, everything! You are amazing!
