Woke up super tired but I had to convince myself to get out of bed. Drove with my mom to Paradise to visit friends of the family. More specifically my moms best friend Ginny. She has a daughter, Audrey, who I used to hang out with when I was little and was my first best friend. Audrey's has a daughter who was turning 2 which is really the reason we went to visit. I've only seen her daughter Layla once before but shes such a cutie. Since I don't get to see that family very often it always feels a bit awkward, but since I practically lived at their house when I was little I still have that bond with them. It was very nostalgic hanging out with them and I could tell me mom was having tons of fun.
Random thought: I'm so glad I never grew up in Paradise though. Everyone seemed very closed minded, and for miles all I saw were YES on prop 8 signs and McCain signs. Its mainly a small town with lots of white people. Crazy different from Sacramento. One of those places you only want to visit.
