LOVE THEM. Live in the present. Remember grace abounds. Feed them real food. Let them see you struggle. PRAY LOTS. don't be afraid to let them fail. Ask for forgiveness. BE STILL. LOVE THEM.

California Living

Aside from the wedding here is the other fun times we had.  The weather was absolutely amazing.  High 70’s and sunny without a cloud in the sky.  I really should have brought my bathing suit and even shorts but I just didn’t believe it until I got there!

Sunday morning we took a walk on the streets of Newport Beach.  Mom & Dad rented a beach house right on the first row.  There was a beautiful view of the ocean.

The guys were getting annoyed with all our picture taking so we decided to embarrass them.

Stopping at a surf shop is a must.

The houses are all very cool and unique.  They looked like little doll houses.

It felt good to have my toes in the sand in January.  Wishing the trip was longer and can’t wait until I get back someday.  I really do love everything about California.  If I could learn how to drive there then I think I could get over the cooler water even in the summer.  We ate lots of authentic Mexican food like rolled tacos and fish tacos and even had some iconic In and Out Burger.
