Count Down
Let the count down begin! Every now and again I see a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Some days the light completely disappears and other days I can barely see it. I officially have 4 weeks - 28 days - until I finish my Masters Degree! Every morning and night I pray that my mind and body can last until April 21st. This task has pushed me so hard and so far past my limits. I know that Heidi Dexter didn't do this without constant help from a higher source, and I am eternally grateful.
California Dreamin'
I spent last weekend with Kyle, Deidre, and their girls in California. I took my camera with every intention to take lots of pictures, but that just didn't happen. Deidre has a few on her camera from the beach and I don't have any. But that just goes to show I was so busy having fun that I forgot about my camera!
My trip started on Friday - I flew into L.A. and from the airport we grabbed some lunch and then headed to the beach. It was an overcast day, so we just walked down the pier and then along the beach for several hours. Mia and Kenley loved riding in the stroller and didn't make a peep the whole time we were there. Deidre and I loved the time just relaxing and watching crazy people! Mia and I rode on the carousal, and she absolutely loved it! After a few hours we decided to head back to Bakersfield. The traffic was terrible so it took awhile, but we made it!
On Saturday we went to a Bug Museum...we thought it was going to be this cool museum with different rooms and everything. We walked in and asked the guy where we were supposed to start and he gave us a crazy look and said, "Well most people start on that side of the room and then just make their way around." It was basically a store with a few bugs around the outside...but what they had was pretty cool! Mia sat herself down in a bug chair and watched a movie while Deidre and I explored! We went to a hockey game on Saturday night and that was quite the adventure! I have never been to a hockey game before. The people were more excited over the fights than over the teams actually scoring goals. It was funny! On the way home from the hockey game, Mia started doing a pee-pee dance in her car seat. I asked her if she needed to go potty and she nervously said, "Yes." So I told Kyle that he needed to stop soon and let her go. Well after several minutes he finally pulled over and they set up her portable toilet in someone's front yard. They couldn't find the baggies that go in the toilet so Mia got to go potty on someone's front yard...Well it just so happened that while Mia was taking care of business, the neighbor's pulled in! It was hilarious!
Sunday was a fun day to play with the girls and enjoy being with Kyle and Deidre. We went to church and then had a delicious dinner in the afternoon. I enjoyed just visiting with them and playing with Mia and Kenley. Monday was a travel day so I woke up, said my good-byes, and then headed to the airport. Words cannot express how much I miss all of them! I can't wait for the first of May to come when they get to come home to Rexburg.
