So my past few Memorial Days have been spent on the East Coast at Duck Beach in North Carolina. Since I now live on the west coast I decided to head to the beach in Cali for the weekend with some friends.

Highlights of the trip:

Saturday Day 1: Wake up at 4:30 am get on the road about 5:30 am . Get to Cali around 11. Grab lunch - take beach cruisers, chairs, boards,etc. to beach - lay in the sun - watch everyone swim and board - Meet new people at beach house we are staying at - 45 minute run on beach - Getting ready in one bathroom with 4 other girls - chips and salsa with new friends - Dairy Queen blizzard - walk back to beach house and pretty much go to bed. Long day!

Sunday Day 2: Get up early eat breakfast - clean up beach house - ready for church - pictures - go to church (loudest family ward i have ever been to) - San Diego Temple ( gorgeous) - drive to Pacific Beach - enjoy the sun - pita pit - frozen yogurt - more sun - drive to San Diego - check into hotel - get ready for dinner - head to downtown San Diego - walk around - Thai Food (first time since I left DC) - PINKBERRY (I Love You) - Tried to sneak into Hot Tub - Urine soaking through sheets on bed incident (disgusting) - Bed at 2 am after dealing with manager - : )

Monday Day 3 : Up at 7 am - run 6 + miles with Tony along Marina - get everyone up and ready- check out - rent beach cruisers - to Pinkberry for breakfast ( pomegranate, choc chips, and almonds) - Cruised the city on bikes some more - lots of pictures - little shopping - return bikes - load into cars and head out of town - quick stop at In N Out ( just feels right when you're in Cali) - long drive home in the cool car : ) - plenty of getting to know you questions.

A very fun trip to California ..... Can't wait to go back ! No idea why I live in Arizona !

Thanks Chelsey........

Another Year Older.....................

MAY 8 : Another Birthday has Come and Gone



Dinner with good friends...................Pita Jungle


Followed by Delicious Blizzards at Dairy Queen.........Then Late Night Swimming and Hot Tubing




Followed by morning after breakfast with my sister and her family......
Are you aware they sing you a happy birthday song at IHOP?





I have to say this past year has been a good one. Full of lots of changes that are making me a better person in so many ways. Arizona has been a great move for me. Here is to another year full of much more change and to me to continue to become the best "ME " I can.


Thanks To Everyone For Making my Birthday Weekend so Special...... I Love You All!

My friend Bradley had a birthday not too long ago and we decided to do a little night hike up Piestewa (squaw) Peak to the very top. When you get to the top you can see Phoenix in all directions for miles. Steep climb but so worth it!

One of Those Days

Today I get to work and go to put on my flip flops and as I take a closer look I realize I'm wearing one brown and one black flip flop. Just one of those days........................!
