Life in California!
When we came home from our long trip abroad, we went straight to wedding prep! Brian and Mericar were getting married in Newport (which is why we chose to come home when we did). After prepping, we watched that gorgeous couple get sealed for time and eternity! After the wedding, we rented a beach house near the Newport beach where we relaxed the days away for four glorious days!
Wedding prep was so much fun. I enjoyed the family, challenge, and results after putting in hours of prep! This is brian trying to hang lights!
They had a ton of cute picture frames!
This was the beach house we stayed at!
Clark, Rob, and Matt all went surfing together. Clark got up on his first go!
Here are the three amigos
It was strange to be alone, just Clark and I, and then suddenly be surrounded by family!
The best part of the night was when people agreed with me that clark needed to shape his beard! This was a win for the books. It became quite the spectacle haha.
We sat on the beach, ran on the beach (my favorite) and buried each other in sand!
This is Clark covering Loc up!
And as all great circles of life must be compete, Clark was the covered by Loc!
. .and then lucy joined, suddenly there were three bodies in the sand!
Something quite unexpected happened in California, our favorite couple instagramed a picture of a beach about 15 minutes from where we were! We called them up and asked them if they were in California...they were! What are the chances that Tyson and Natalie would be in the SAME city during the same 4 day window with us! Wow. We met up and relaxed the days away! They came down for their anniversary.
I appreciated that Clark had someone to boggy board with!
We rode bikes and long boarded on the board (cement) walk!
This was me trying to longboard...fail!
Overall, we had good friends, food, family, and fun! We hope to go back someday!
