Sparkle Sprinkle

Aw! This day has been such an adventure!! I woke up and decided I would go walking. I didn't know where I was going to walk to but I was going to walk. Just a block from where we are staying I found a path and followed it down into a park! There was lots of people walking their dogs and running. The weather was wonderful and I can't wait to go there with JM!

hahaha! Just some inspirational words

 

Okay, now something AMAZING happened today. I made a green smoothie after my walk and sat to check Facebook. Up on my news feed popped the most exciting news! Sprinklesmobile was in Huntington Beach on Main St and Walnut St and they were giving out FREE cupcakes. I will not tell you how fast I ran to my car at this point due to extreme embarrassment BUT I quickly got to my car and waited impatiently at every red light from here to Main Street. I spotted the chocolate brown van in the distance and then looked frantically for some spot to park. I headed down a street hoping to find a free spot in front of a house because there is really only parking garages that you have to pay for or meters that you have to pay for. I found a meter and pulled in with a quarter in my hand and ready to run against the meter!! Oh the tender mercies!!! There was 15 minutes left on the meter that I could use. My heart was bonding out of my chest due to excitement. There was no line and people were PASSING IT UP when the nice lady asked if they wanted a FREE cupcake. What?!? Now came to the decision...double chocolate or the famous red velvet. I couldn't decide so the wonderful lady gave me both! I love the sweet happiness of the small things that feel like they are just for you.

Beach Bum

Today has been one of those days that just feels really long. My sweetheart and I got up early and headed to the home of our wonderful friends, The Mayfields. Both of the "JM"s were off on their way was soon we we arrived. EM and I and friends decided to visit Huntington Beach. What an Adventure!!!
4 women + 2 babies + 8 bags + 1 whale tub = a whole lot of fun!!
It took us about twice as long to get there with tons of traffic and lots of stuff as we were actually at the beach. It was beautiful and fun still and there was a farmer's market right by the beach that had the most beautiful food and LOTS of free samples!
JM (hubby/sweetheart/bestfriend/climbing partner) and the other JM are hiking and climbing Charlotte Dome. It is the 2nd annual "Joe's birthday trip". Those guys are so crazy! I got a text message that said "If you haven't heard from us by Monday call this number" hehe!
There is a slight down side though. I don't know anyone else in this area! There is a chance of traffic on all the highways so I have to be very committed to going somewhere. I love exploring this wonderful place but I really like doing it with my awesome sweetheart. I can't wait for that guy to be back!
Oh, and the farmers market happens every friday...I'll be back to that and I'll take pictures this time!!!

I really miss this guy! My awesome buddy, Royal, the King of sticks and stones!

First Timer

Good afternoon! I have been wanting to start a blog for a long time and this is my first attempt at one. I figured a great oppertunity for this would be logging my trip to California for my internship with my sweetheart. I will let this be known now that these posts will be about our life together and all the adventures we are going through including religion, trips, and health.
We are enjoying our time in CA and every day I love this place a little bit more.

Our backyard for the summer.

KF and LG This is to you.

Good advice given by a parking lot.

Vegan Rose cupcake...so 'Klassy'
