Day Three in Cali

For some reason, I woke up this morning around 7 AM. I might be able to blame it on the heat again, this condo has no AC. I repeat, no AC. I guess that is a normal thing if you are living at the beach. Instantly I rolled over and began reading my book... until I finished the entire thing. It was a good easy read that let me lose myself in the story, and now I am sad its over.

We all were like snails this morning, slow movers. After that was all said and done though, my mom, franki, her friend Desi and I found ourselves at Legoland. I've never been there before, but my sister Shawna got us free tickets so why not? The two hours we were there were fun, again not much to do, but I can see the appeal to a 4 year old. If those two amusement parks I had gone to weren't free, I would never pay to go to them. I would much rather spend my money at Disneyland, which is awesome all the time.

After some food and a nap, we made our way to the beach. Always awesome, and these sunsets have not been a let down. My emotions have crept on me though. I don't want to go back to Utah, but at the same time I do. I need to get back to regular life and, deal with/cope whatever path I am about to be on.

Day TWO in Cali

So I skipped day one, but lets just say it was full of a dental appointment, hair appointment, flash flood, etc.

And here I am at the end of day two. It's been sort of rough, I have let my emotions get the best of me. I woke up with a horrible headache, probably because I slept too long. Got dressed and headed the the Wild Animal Park here in San Diego with my family. I stepped outside and I was instantly dripping sweat. The weather was near a 100 and extremely humid.

I feel like you can only spend so much time there. It's not like you get too much interaction with the animals. So with the mixture of my mood and when boredom set in we left and made it to the beach. It was seriously beautiful, and we were at a perfect spot. I never wanted to leave, but everyone was hungry and so we made our way to this hole in the wall mexican restaurant. I miss those things.

It was still early enough in the day that I didn't want to go sit back at the condo. I had my dad drop me off by the pier where I planned to lay, read and ponder. My mom wanted to come so she napped next to me. I cant say enough how nice it was. It reminds of how much I love this earth and the amazing things that we have been given here. Just being outside and enjoying them brings me such happiness and peace. It was everything that I have been needing.

Upon my return to our place, I instantly grabbed the book I had bought at the airport and continued reading. I forgot how it feels to absolutely lose yourself in a book. It's the best when you want to escape the emotions you are trying to forget about.

Heres to hoping tomorrow is a great day and I wont let those things affect me.

Highland Park

In my new place, which is 3x the size of my last. In my own bedroom which is larger than my bedroom at my parents. Do I need this much space? Life, where are you taking me.
