Bea is Back!






16 years ago our family had an exchange student from Spain come and live with us. Her name is Beatriz-- Bea for short. She became part of our family and we ALL LOVE her. We lost contact with her over the last few years but she found Carli on MySpace and told us she was coming to California with her husband!

His name is Francisco Jose, but it's Kiko for short.

We went out to lunch with them and walked around down-town Petaluma. She loved seeing McDonalds, Payless, and Lyons again.

She was stoked to take a tour of Casa Grande High School where she had her Junior year. Here she is in front of Ms. Gardener's drama class.

She told my dad over and over how grateful she is that he was like a dad to her because when you're 17 you think you know things, but you don't. He was like a protective papa bear for her.


Bea is now 33 and she's a Podiatrist. Her husband is also 33 and he works in biological research.

We love you Bea! Come back soon!
