Adventure

i had a pretty exciting day today.

last night all the anders spent the night at our house. except for shane and nathan. dean went out of town, and we all wanted the extra company. it was fun! everyone just did their own thing; the little girls played dolls, the two boys did what boys do ( dont know what that is... ), carissa and i talked, plotted, and imagined, and the moms discussed and talked the way moms do. we all went to bed at one in the morning... and woke up around nine. the first thing carissa and i did, was hop in the car on a donut run. pajamas and all. i never do that. i still feel stupid for doing that. haha!

carissa and i had some plans all set up for later... but first, the moms left; shan with her little ones, went home, and mom with buttercup, went out to breakfast with an amazingly sweet lady that i am going to be a mothers helper for. carissa and i stayed at my house with noelle and carter and got ready for the day.

haha! once carissa and i finally broke off to do our plans, the craziness began. at least we were crazy. not completely. just like two friends who havent gotten together in a really long time, crazy. the first thing we did was stop by a thrift store and sift through the summer dresses. also, we donated some of our things there as well. it was a pretty quick trip.

as the second stage of our journey rolled in, we were singing loudly in harmony, to a song we used to sing when we were really little. haha! we were a bit out of tune on some parts but- still had fun. we picked up adam and headed for pismo:) i love pismo. i dont know why... i really like going there... we hit up longboards for some french fries, walked on the pier, checking out the surf, for a while, then we really got adventurous. we walked down the beach from right side of the pier, all the way to the rocks. we climbed all the way around the point. and most the time, we were climbing... not just walking, and running in between sets, from rock to rock, but high up, climbing. i still cant believe we did that. it was so fun though! we want to go back and do it agian, but go even farther, if thats even possible. it was a beautiful day too! the weather was amazing. fun fun times:)

things then, now, and later.

i decided that today, was the day to post. lately i have been doing pretty much the same things. i couldnt find anything to say. or anything i wanted to really talk about on here. plus, people dont really get on blogger anymore. i guess that i have kinda fallen into that as well.

holly got home new years eve. i was so happy. i cant stand having part of my family missing from everyday life. missing at all, better said. its just not the same. holly is all fixed! she has a new bum:-) last night, holly slept with me for about two hours. she was so adorable. i gave her a little room when i actually fell asleep... i was worried about rolling over on her. but when she would wake up, her little hand would reach out, and search around till she found me. she would proceed to grab at my arm and shirt. i cuddled up to her, and she would fall back asleep. i just love her!! she is so adorable and has a wonderful little personality. i cant imagine what life would have been like without her.

i went surfing for the first time since august. i seriously lost the strength. literally. my arms were so dead that i couldnt paddle. once that happened, i forced myself to paddle even though my arms were barely moving, which made me out of breath, so by the time i went to stand up, i was all weak and tired. haha! it is a vicious cycle. i am going to start going out more. ill get the strength back;) we went with a couple friends. it was so awesome! we had a great time. after that, we went out to eat at longboards. man, that place is so good!

i got a pretty good injury today, while i was surfing. i was riding a wave and another lady like cut in and ran into me. i wasnt mad though. but- i messed up my hand. i didnt feel it at the time because my hands were so numb. i sure as heck felt it later, and kinda now. i took a little something for the pain.

oh! yesterday, dean, jake, and i went down to panchos and bought a few things. dean and jake got wetsuits, and i got some booties to complete my wetsuit. they really helped with todays surfing trip. i also got an epic pair of glasses. i have been looking for for a long time. i am pretty stoked about them. but then, i left them in my friends car or on their table. sad day=( however, he'll drop them off tomorrow though. so its all good:-)

my aunt julie cam up with three of her boys, today. there are four boys, but one was at the lake )or was it the river) with his dad. so he didnt come... which is a bummer, because i wanted to take him surfing. oh well. next time:-) i am not sure what we will be doing while they are here. i think they will be here for four or five days. so yes. we shall see.
