San Diego: Part Two!

 


 Tuesday we spent the day at Sea World! Completely awesome! We went to all the shows and saw all the animals and it was just great! Such a nice day! We even got to see Shamu twice! We were just lucky ducks!:)
Wednesday we got up and went shopping at the mall next to our hotel. (You can best believe we went to Bloomingdale's and gawked at how expensive things are there!) After that we went to the store, came back and ate lunch, and then met up with the guys and headed to Coronado Island. This very easily could have been my favorite part of the whole trip!  It was so much fun and SO NICE AND WARM! The beach was incredible! We went and set up a spot and then headed out to the ocean looking for shells and pretty much anything else we could find. After doing that for a while we headed back to the towels. Christian found a hermit crab and it was so hilarious to see him freak out about it. After an hour or two there we packed things up and headed to find something for dinner. We walked the streets of Coronado which was also so much fun, and we found a way cool hot dog place where we all ate dinner. After dinner we did a little more exploring of the shops and such, and then headed back to the beach! Laid out for a while more, and then took pictures in the ocean before heading back to our hotel so that us girls could change. We then headed to Mission Beach for a bon fire that Matt's buddies from school were having. While we waited for everyone else to get there we walked the pier and went into shops and that was fun. Then we stumbled upon this little Mexican Food Place and the boy's and I ate some delicious fish tacos on the beach (I was in heaven!) While Nan gave Jake a tattoo half sleeve with temporary tattoos haha! We got there and it wasn't really my scene (or anyone's really, except Matt...and that's totally fine.) We started playing this game in the ocean where we would run out and chase the tide (trying to get as far as we could without getting wet) and then run away when the waves came crashing back! It was so much fun and I have no clue why haha! Until Nan lost her phone in the ocean...then that stopped. Jake had a funeral for her phone, which was hilarious, and then we headed back to the hotel, got cleaned up, and went to bed. Overall it was just a good day!

Touched By The Spirit

My cousin Cade had his Missionary Farewell yesterday and I feel so blessed to have been able to attend. First off, he is amazing. He is one of the funniest people I know and he is smart and a musical genius. He is simply his own person and there are endless characteristics/qualities that he possess that I would love to develop in myself. So I mean it is easy to say that I love the kid to death. But he spoke in sacrament meeting and the spirit that he brought was truly inspiring, and stronger than anything I have felt in a long time. It touched my heart. And I knew that he was called of God to serve, that he is worthy to serve, and that he has a testimony of the gospel and our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was such an incredible experience. When he concluded he played an original arrangement of Be Still My Soul on the piano and again the spirit was overwhelming. That is my favorite hymn, and it brings me so much comfort which I coincidentally really needed at that moment. Reminding ...

The Best Is Yet To Come

I absolutely love this quote! I think I have even talked about it before but ohh well. I am so grateful for my life and the people who are in it! I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for a loving Father in Heaven. I will write more later because I don't have much time before conference starts again, but I cant get over how incredibly blessed I am! The best certainly is yet to come!

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...
