california dreamin

Ive been back home now for about 2 1/2 weeks. the time has literally flown by. i cant believe that Ive been back home for that long. ill admit, the first week was kinda hard, i definitely had a hard time leaving provo and all of that that entails. so what have i done the past few weeks since being in California. mostly this...

DODGER games.

lots and lots of dodger games. last summer my first week back i went to three dodger games. now that, i thought was impressive. little did i know i would beat that record. my first week back i went to four dodger games in five days. three of which i went with different boys. its not hard to constantly get asked to go to games when you are hands down the biggest fan. and for the first week i was batting .500 as we won two of the four games i went to. which isnt bad, although my family constantly reminds me that im bad luck. the other game i went to the first week was Mormon Night at Dodger Stadium.

Mormon night has always been one of my favorite games to go to each season. I love watching Dodger Vision, waiting for the sign to read "the Dodgers Welcome the Granada Hills Stake." It was also an exciting night since it was Mia's first game!! Although she will never remember it, it will be exciting for her that she went to her first game at just two months old! its never too young to start cheering for the boys in blue.

i also went last night with my dad. going with my dad was definitely the best date of all! and if im not at the game, im watching it every night. this brings my grand total of games this summer to 7. not too shabby for the fact that for a majority of the summer i was living in provo and for half of august the dodgers have been on the road.

YSA conference. I didn't go to dodger games that first weekend because i went to a California statewide YSA conference. the state was broken up into 7 sections based around the 7 temples in California. I was not looking forward to this conference. especially since the LA section was broken into age groups and i was going to have to go hang out with boys right off the mish and girls that just graduated high school. On the agenda for the conference: speed dating. wow no thanks. my parents wanted me to go and so did jessica. i told jess that she was going to have to cheer me up on the way down to the conference cause i was not in the mood to go. the two day event turned out really fun in the end. besides the long hours of talks, once we were able to meet people and socialize it was way fun. i met a lot of great people, and one in particular, that i became great friends with and subsequently hung out with them the next couple of nights.

BEACH. i haven't gone to the beach as much as i would like to this summer, but i have gone a few times with the GH kids. i would like to announce that every time i have gone to the beach i have gotten in the water. shocking.

just a little run down of what ive been up to. all of this and getting ready for DC. 9 days. crazy!!
