First and foremost, as I got on her this morning, I noticed something wonderful.. the video link finally shows up on our blog!! So.. Elo, this is for you..
Ok.. i tried like three times to upload but it STILL won't! Video of the house... TBA
Even though I'm still kinda emo about having to work during the summer, we have had good times. Back at the beginning if June, the whole Hawkins family came down to Oceanside and stayed in a beach house for a week. It was so pretty and great to be with everyone again. Jered and I came down for the first part of the week and then the weekend.. we had to work in between.. arg.. work. We spent out time playing in the waves, running on the beach. laying out, reading, playing on this insanely huge pier and the boys even did a little fishing. It was a beautiful resort. I think my favorite thing we did was go to Balboa Park. I had no idea that place was so huge and that there was so much to do! It's absolutely beatiful. Walking around you feel like you're in Europe. I loved it! It gave me the Europe bug again and I came home and started looking up trips on Expedia.. maybe some day.. sigh. Thanks mom and dad for bringing everyone down!
Besides Oceanside, we have spent many happy weekends at the beach. Laguna, Newport, Huntington, Santa Monica, Venice, you name it. We love them all. Over the fourth, we went to the Huntington Pier festival which was way fun. They had live music, a surf competition and about a million people. We had fun taking appoximatly 350 pictures and soaking up some sun!
Another exciting thing to happen was to have our dear friends Andra and Jordan Meyer come to visit us!! It was so good to see fellow Utahns and friends at that! I never knew I would have so much Utah pride. I had someone call at work the other day from a 435 area code and got excited and asked if she was from Logan. It's so rare to see that.. you'd think we were back east or something. Only the Mormons here are from Utah. Anyway, it was so fun to have them here. We went to Laguna Beach and played, ate some delicious Thai food and to Down Town Disney. We wish they lived closer! BFFC!!
Well, that's about it for our little lives. Jered isn't working right now, he has a break for three weeks from school and work and has decided he is going to cook. I think it's the cutest thing to come home to him with everything we own out on the counters, a little smirk on his face. I love it. He has loved coaching Freshman water polo and has decided to continue on and coach them the rest of the season. He will start back up in August along with school and his aid job working with autistic kids... I might never see him again..!
We are so excited to go to Utah next week! I can't wait to see everyone I haven't seen since the wedding! It will just be good to be in the hills of Bountiful plus I'm excited to go boating! It seems like it's been years! I hope we get to see some of you when we are up!!
Here are a few pictures of some of the other things we've been doing. I forgot about some of them until I started looking through our thousands of pictures and found these..
This is Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach.. it was one of the coolest things we've done since I came here. (Jered- We werent aloud to take pictures.. so this is the only picture we really have of us there... this could be taken in our backyard for all you know.. )
Biking to Huntington (Jered-when on LSD..what a ride)
Angels Game (Jered- Angels lost..i was trying to smile but my left hand is revealing how i really felt)
