this weekend has been FABULOUS! Friday night I went to the beach where it was very crowded. The water was rough and I got the crap beat out of me for the 10 minutes I was out there. I got to hang out with taryn, josh and my mom so it was fun even if the ocean wasn't pleasant...saturday was a loooong but fun day. Me and josh caught the 9:00 ferry over to southport and enjoyed the shops, festival vendors, and the provision company until about 3...the traffic was REDONKULOUS so we used josh's gps to find a quicker way home...about an hour after that we all headed to the ward party for some food, games and good ole socializing. After the party me, josh, Cory, and paco hit up the north end. It was too light to see the sparkley water when we got there so while we waited for the sun to go down, we read letters out of the mailbox on the beach. Most were pretty boring and generic but a few were really depressing/humorous/entertaining. I really want to go back and write something really profound to stick in there. After our north end adventures we hit up mickey d's then called it a night...today was pretty good too! My sunbeams were a little more...energetic today but my patience is continually growing and I love those little guys! We went downtown for the fireworks tonight and it was a good time. I'm glad josh's family got to come with us and I think they had a good time too! It's been a busy but fun weekend and i've had such a great time...beach tomorrow...more fun! Happy fourth of july!
