last weekend i was out of town again. this time i went to CA.
mind you, there was snow on the ground when i woke up in provo wednesday morning. SNOW. {where do i live...really?} so if i wasn't thrilled to be leaving the state before, i definitely was then.
i was lucky enough to get two days off from work, so i had a nice long weekend playing with my nieces, my brother, and some long lost friends!
.
i'd like to give a special shout out to stephanie, my faaaavorite sister in law, for totally kicking the socal ragnar's butt! she did great...and now i'm SUPER excited for mine!
.
friday was spent with my nieces and brother at sea world {now, we were supposed to go to disneyland...but trav forgot the tickets at home. so sea world it was} we had fun watching the different shows and seeing all the animals, and that CA weather wasn't bad either!
{i really kind of love aquariums...something about watching those fish swim around}
{me and my nieces}
.
friday night i met up with some of my favorite people for dinner...i hadn't seen any of them for a long time. dinner was great and it was so good to catch up...all of you come visit utah soon! better yet...i'll come back to CA!

saturday was a glorious day people! for. reals. i loved everything about it. friday night i stayed with my old college roommate and her husband ben at their place in encinitas. after almost a year and a half since seeing her last, it was so so good to catch up {and finally meet ben, who i'd seen on skype and heard on the phone 4+ years before when i lived with jaysa, but had never met}. saturday morning they took me for breakfast and we got it to go so we could check out the beach.
the beach. i love the beach. i want to live there.
after finding out i'd have a few hours longer with them than i had originally though, we decided to go surfing! haha...yes. well kind of. there was a surf board involved. no i did not get up on it. and i'm not sure i would have attempted standing.
{baaaaa...i love this}
{me and my little jaysapie. i love this girl}
{that's right...wearing my first wet suit}
it was a blast though. wet suits are pretty magical and keep you really warm. crazy huh? i was not a natural, nor do i think i ever will be. but it was fun to "body surf" and i even nose dived at one point. right now. the sun was perfect and the temperature outside was great. hello beginnings of a glorious summer tan.

and here's a picture just so you can all see how dang cute my niece is. but seriously. and she has the most gorgeous eyes ever!

sunday i drove back to good'ol utah. though it was made exponentially better because i didn't have to drive alone, i got to drive with this guy :)
hurrah for matt's dad buying a bike and needing to go to CA to pick it up so i could meet them at the exit so matt could drive back with me!
