Super Bowl City

By -
Good morning Zach, how are you? Well our team did not make it to the Super Bowl this year but all of the festivities were in San Francisco, our own backyard. This year my boss and her nephew went with Jeff and I to all the events. The NFL experience was held in the Moscone Center and there were lots of football events, games, and history. Of course there were a lot of photo ops as well. Then we were off to Super Bowl city down by the ferry building where there was lots to eat and see there as well. Even Alicia Keys put on a free concert. It would have been awesome if the Seahawks were in it a third time but it was not to be. All in all it was still great fun.

Last night Jessica and your Aunt Christine came over so that Jessica could do my hair and make up as practice for the big day. Jessica did an amazing job making me feel pretty and teaching me all of her makeup techniques. Who knew there was so much I didn't know?

Everyone here is doing well, Cody is working on his music, Jeff and I are busy in our jobs and working on the new house, Nana and Granddad continue to enjoy retirement and Uncle Gregg and Auntie Kim are still working hard as well. I really hope that you are thriving in your life and that you are surrounded with loving friends.  As always I think about you every day and wish that I could share in some of that. I miss you sweetheart.

Love always,
Mom

Waiting for Spring

Hi Zach, we are waiting for spring to come here in Benicia as most days have been  rainy and chilly. Your mom has always loved beach weather and can’t wait for summer lol. Hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying the outdoors. Aside from celebrating Jeff’s 54th birthday, February was fairly quiet around here. I have been working a lot of shifts at the winery which is still the best job ever and Jeff and I have been preparing for the first vacation. we have had alone together in two years. We flew down to Curaçao, which is part of the Netherland Antilles and is close to Aruba. We had a very relaxing and amazing time in the warm weather and on the beautiful beaches. Came home to that drizzly chill and are back to waiting for sunshine. I often wonder if you travel for fun and if so, what places you have discovered and if you have any favorites. We have a couple more trips coming up this year, one to visit your uncle Gregg and auntie Kim now that they live in Portugal. Al...

Holiday Spirit

  Dear Zach, hoping you got the Christmas and birthday cards I sent to you. Cannot believe you are 30 years old now. I can’t really say time has flown given  that not being able to see you has left a huge void in our lives. The holiday season is always bittersweet in that our family always finds ways to celebrate and love one another, but there  are always thoughts of missing  you intertwined.  Jeff and I flew Cody down for the Benicia annual Christmas tree lighting and to see Nana and granddad. It was a short but very special weekend. I have included the video where Cody surprised your grandparents with his visit. It made them both so happy. It was Jeff’s family’s turn for Christmas so we flew up to Washington to be with his nephew, Maxon and the rest of the family. Cody was also able to spend time with his daughter to unwrap her Christmas presents. In January, we went to a Robert Burns night, celebrating Jeff’s Scottish heritage. There was plenty of ...

When I’m Sixty-Four.

Hi Zach, well, now I am officially the age of a Beatles song. It’s hard to believe I’m that old and have yet to reunite with you. It’s been almost 15 years.  I think of you every day of my life and pray that you are happy and loved.  Of course, October means Halloween, one of my favorite holidays. We met up with friends to celebrate and I dressed as Beth from the television show Yellowstone. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Earlier in the month your aunt Christine and I went to a meet and greet for the actor Sam Heughan from outlander. It’s a show. We are both obsessed with that takes place in 18th century Scotland around the clan Fraser. Up until a few years ago, I had no idea that Jeff’s family are Fraser’s and Fraser is his younger brother‘s and father’s middle name. My head exploded lol. Thanksgiving was quiet as Nana and granddad don’t eat much so taking them to a restaurant where they are serving a huge meal is not ideal. Instead, Jeff and I spent the...
