next time...bring sunscreen.

A few weeks ago my friend Christina celebrated her 24th birthday.

One of the many things I love about Christina is that we have been friends since the 7th grade!
We immediately bonded once we discovered we were both members of the LDS Church.
We stayed friends through the years, even took a class together at BYU and thought she didnt like me very much. But our friendship then turned to really only facebook stalking. 
Christina moved back into the ward around January and almost immediately I feel in love with her and became the closest of friends. 

Some things I love about Christina:
She is the most thoughtful and sincere person ever.
She has a legit job! Career woman!!
She is nice to everyone. Ive never heard her say a negative comment ever. 
She is hot!
Has amazing dance moves.
Obsessed with The Bachelorette.
(thanks to me)
She meets me for lunch every Tuesday. 

To celebrate her birthday she invited me on a weekend trip to Catalina Island. 

She wanted to conquer her fears of the ocean with an underwater sea trek. 
But it got cancelled!
We were so bummed.
But still had a fun time. 
I havent been to Catalina since middle school and loved it so much! It is such a cute town and kept wondering why I never moved here to spend my summers! I would have loved that!!

Our activities included:
An early early morning boatride. 
Kayaking. 
A seagull snapping some nachos right out of my mouth.
(not pictured, but totalllly happened.)
Lunch. 
 I love me some fish and chips.
Not sea trekking. 
Beach time. 

With our afternoon activity cancelled, we decided to enjoy the warm weather and lay on the beach for just a bit. Due to some serious lack of sleep by both us (going to bed at 1AM and waking up around 4:40AM) our short jaunt to the beach turned into a three hour nap. with no sunscreen. We were passed out. Im pretty sure I snored. We didnt even have towels, just straight up laid on the sand, and I didnt even take my cover up off. The only times I woke up was to flip over and then eventually woke up because I could feel my skin begin to hurt. 
Needless to say I have had to endure a terrible sunburn, lots of advil to help the pain, and then shedding practically all of my skin. gross. 
Dinner at The Lobster Trap.
I tried clams and Christina enjoyed her lobster. 

Breakfast at Sally's Waffles.

Love you Christina! I am so grateful for your friendship. 

Thanks for an amazing birthday trip to Catalina.
