sunshine and saltwater

Last night, we got back from our memorial day weekend getaway. It felt like such a long vacation, in the best way possible. 

It was EPIC to say the least. 

Thanks to Clairebear Pingree our trip was well-documented. We took over 750 pictures plus hours worth of video. haha.

I will post more about it later. 

This weekend I was once again reminded of the healing powers of sunshine and saltwater. After a few days of lounging in the sun mixed with bouts of swimming in the ocean, I feel like a new person. 

I was also reminded that everyone looks better with a tan. 

Yesterday Ryan and I went to the Newport Beach Temple with our mom and Hans. It was such a great day. I love going to the temple and feeling the spirit there. It's so refreshing to be able to escape the world for a little bit and be reminded of where we came from, why we are here and where we are going. 

Now it's back to the grind here in P town. I only have 2 1/2 weeks left here! yikes. and six weeks from today I will be entering the MTC (Missionary Training Center)!!!!!! crazy
