California Catch up

We went in March but I didn't blog about it! It was so much fun and we're glad the Jennie and Ryan Dopps could come! We ate pizza and cookies, swam, soaked up some sun, went to the tide pools, went on the Girls' Night Dinner with Dad, walked the pier, shopped, got lots of shells, saw a baby sea lion get rescued, sat on the beach, relaxed, and talked and got popsicles almost every day! Such fun memories! We'll miss you I.B.!!

I got a crepe at the Farmers Market called The Paris. Brings back memories! :) So good!!

Ruby got Indian, yum!

I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much good in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need.

Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world.
