I haven't updated in a long time since I haven't really been taking pictures of anything... sadly. My winter was fairly uneventful until we went East for Christmas, which was an insane amount of fun! For some silly reason I just didn't really take pictures. (obviously too busy having fun) So I'll post the three that I do have. But first, a picture of when we had like 14 inches of snow. It looks deceitfully pretty, doesn't it?
And Debra, who is coming to see me in like 2 1/2 months! =D I'm so excited.
There's so many pictures I wish I would've gotten... like pictures with my family and stuff. But that's how I roll. Ugghhh.
This year my birthday landed right in the middle of a stay-away job Daryl was on, so the day before my birthday I drove over to where he was at and spent my birthday there. Since he was obviously working I tried to keep myself entertained in this tiny little town of Eureka, but it was pretty uneventful, so I drove to a lake and took some pictures, and just drove around.
I started walking across this bridge, but only got a little over halfway because of the barbaric wind blowing straight through my bones.
I did stick it out long enough though for pictures. =D
The fur on my hood wasn't particularly enjoying the wind either.
And there's the bridge that I was meandering across.
Daryl and I actually just got back from a trip to San Diego with his family... they're staying there for a whole month while Mark does taxes for people. Since tickets are so cheap from here to San Diego and we had basically free lodging, I convinced Daryl we couldn't afford NOT to go. ;) He wasn't quite convinced, but I think he's glad we went. =)
The beautiful sunset the evening we got there!
We went to an organ concert, which was amazing!
There were so many perfect picture spots. =D
All of the kids! There's quite the flock. We also went jet-skiing the one day, and while Daryl and I were waiting for our turn, we rented paddle-boards. =D Daryl is sitting on his paddle-board not because he's frightened, but because he is picking up jellyfish. haha
We got to go to Sea World, which was amazing. I would have gotten pictures of the shows, but we were sitting in the front row and I didn't want my camera to get wet. ;)
A really bad quality picture of a really cool giant octopus!
One of the water rides there... it's a good thing it was a warm day, cause I got cold the way it was! Naturally. Why would I expect anything else.
We got to go biking on a trail with the ocean on both sides. It was gorgeous!
Playing some super intense beach volleyball... or not. It was still fun though, of course. =)
We got to go to a nice restaurant for brunch a few mornings before we left.
The whole family-amily.
The last day we were there Daryl wanted to go to some museums, and since us girls didn't find it super thrilling to be in an aircraft museum for like 4 hours, (it wasn't even that big) we breezed through it and went and made our own fun. Derrick, you're probably the only other person I know that would maybe take almost as much time in a museum. haha
The gigantuous park where the museum was at had a section of adorable little houses like this, each representing a different country. You could go in and try their food, and just see some of the country's character. =)
So many cool doorways!
The picture of Daryl and I was taken on the beach the last evening we were there. =(
I apologize for my lack of creativity in trying to make this more interesting... I have been on the computer way too long and now have a nasty headache. haha. And just in case all these smiling pictures of me have deceived you guys into thinking I am a normal human being, I'll leave you with this, uh, wonderful picture of me being a creep.
I find it amusing that Daryl doesn't look the least bit surprised that I am doing something eccentric.
Love you all!
