Back from Vacation
I wish that the title of this blog was true. Really I am back from an absence of blogging thanks to encouragement by my sis-in-law. Its so nice to know you have fans! Just kidding. Its just nice to keep in touch.
However, I was out of Idaho last weekend. I was blessed with the opportunity to leave this cold, snow blown desert and see a place I have never been, beautiful San Diego, California. This was my first experience with the southern part of this big state. The funny thing that many do not know is that for as long as I was growing up in Arkansas, California was like a dream to me. For some reason I knew that I always wanted to go there and that I probably would like it a lot. I am sure this was just the influence of films that show California at its best but none the least, I was always determined to go spend some time there. I mean haven’t you ever wondered why you were put in the place and family you were. I was always like, “why wasn’t I born and raised in New York City or some place cool, not some dusty farm with po-dunk little towns.” (I have since come to terms with this) Enter Ry into my life at a church dance where I proceeded to gawk over the fact that he grew up near San Francisco. I must have seemed so lame asking him about what that was like. (He admits it too) But eventually the shock of knowing someone from there wore off and we were able to talk about something else…kindof. Still, I have heard about the amazing sunny weather and beaches in Southern Cal and it was all I had imagined. I didn’t get to do much fun because it was a business trip but at night we hit the beach and the little downtown area of Del Mar. We ate at a great Mexican cantina and grill and had authentic French crepes at a great little cafe. I had to share a room with a girl I never knew before but luckily she was really sweet and fun and hung out with me. See, Ry didn’t want to go so I was super disappointed and dreading it at first. But now I just can’t wait to go back together when I don’t have to work. It was perfect sunny weather and a great break from the cold frosty winter this Boise place has offered. I made Ry look at houses in San Diego with me. It wouldn’t be hard for me to move there at all.
