hello there! oh boy do I have a lot to write about, and a lot to think about :) Kels and I just talked about the importance of debreifing our lives and our heads and feelings and thoughts and experiences. And thats what this does for me. So...lets start with spring break.
It was SO SO SO SO SO great. I dont even really know how to explain. We had so much fun. And San Diego is AMAZING and those girls are amazing. So I'll start with the spark notes. There were so many moments, that were so great. I wish I could have blogged every night but of course there was not time for that since we were busy doing so much fun stuff and just relaxing.
All week we jammed in the car, we sang our lungs out and danced and laughed and loved the lyrics and blasted the music with the windows down and our hair blowing and it was SO great
we shopped... A LOT which is always great (new underwear for a super good deal WOO HOO) and other good finds :)
we went to Disneyland on Tuesday...i dont even have to explain, its Disneyland and its freakin fantastic. We didnt go on a billion rides but just went on the really good ones and a couple of them twice. California screamin, soarin over california and space mountain were the best. On california screamin Keely and I sat in the very front and it was sooo freakin fun. Soarin over California is like this stimulation of flying through all these sooo pretty parts of California and it feels SO real, there are smells and you feel like your toes are gonna touch the water and its just so cool. And Space Mountain is awesome cause its in the dark so it was sooo fun. We ate cotton candy and ice cream and watched the parade and reminisced about Disneyland as kids. And it all ended with the OUT OF THIS WORLD FIREWORKS. Seriously they were SO good and there is something about fireworks that just is like mind boggling exciting and gives you adrenaline and a weird kind of inspiring. It was really really awesome, one of the many moments where we stood there in awe thinking about how freaking awesome life is.
We spent most of Wed, Thurs and Fri at the beach getting tan and just relaxing. I was laying on the beach listening to Jack Johnson and i was so just so incredibly content it was perfect. Then we went and played in the freezing ocean water like little kids and jumped the waves and dove in and built a sand castle and it was so freaking fun. The ocean is amazing, just laying there listening to it is really peaceful and its so strong and huge, and so interesting to watch and BEAUTIFUL! I read Water for Elephants throughout the week on the beach and it was just perfect, laying out reading, sleeping, running into the water when we got to hot and just so much awesomeness.
Thursday we walked up off the beach into this super cute coffee shop called Java Hut, it was all beachy surf bum like and the employees were hillarious. It was just an awesome laid back, friendly feel and I LOVE coffee shops, I could have stayed forever. Except the next thing was even better...
We went to the meditation gardens which is this preety big chunk of space on a cliff over looking the ocean that is closed off and turned into this beautiful garden by um I dunno who, I think a religion, I'm terrible, but it was really cool. There were flowers EVERYWHERE that I loved and trees and grass and ponds and benches for people to sit on and meditate and think and feel and it was SO beautiful and SO peaceful, I think if I lived in San Diego I would spend so much time there thinking and writing and reading and just taking in all the beauty. It was SO preety.
THEN we went and took surf lessons. Which was SO much fun and SO much work. You spend most the time fighting the waves and trying not to get pumbled and or hit in the face with your surf board while your walking back out to try again. The ocean is SO strong and powerful for a little human to fight. But taking a lesson was so helpful and I got up a few times! I feel like now I could have Jesse help me and slowly figure it out a little more for myself but I definitely needed to start with a lesson. it was WAY fun. :)
Thursday night we watched Up which is just the cutest most heart warming movie ever :) I love it.
Yesterday we had another beach day (laid out a little too long, I may or may not have a very red stomach) But last night we went to Fondue for dessert and Hayley showed us a few more gorgous places (there were SO many...San Diego is amazing)
SO...it was an absolutely fantastic break. We had a blast. And talked so much about life, and things flying by and how scary it is that Freshmen year is 2/3rds of the way done, seriously i CANNOT believe it. And how much things have changed and how we are so excited for everyday and how much we absolutely love college. And we laughed so much and gave each other sass and it was fantastic.
Keely and I became true Califonians, we bought Rainbows and Vans, got tan lines, took surfing lessons, we are on our way to native status ;).
It was the best spring break ever, and Im sad that its over, but soooo excited for every day of life, ALWAYS. And for this quarter to be amazing and to show them my home and just everything.
Oh and YOUNG RYLA. Scotty and Mikaila sent out some stuff and I'm soooo excited and they are freaking out of this world :) Its gonna be fantastic.
I have so much more, I just talked to Kelsey, about so much. As always. But Ill come back with more thoughts later.
It was amazing, and we did so much more and felt so much and it was out of this world. I will try to put some pictures up once my camera decides to cooperate :)
Now its back to school and business and not laying out on the beach all day everyday, but thats ok its awesome, i just really want this quarter to slow down a little cause the last two have gone WAY to fast. Its insane..
