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!

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

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. ...

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or...
