best week ever.

 Perfecting our tans at Avila Beach

 Doing our last hike of the summer to Bishops Peak

Seeing real life Elephant Seals

 Sticking our gum on the wall at Bubblegum Alley

 Playing at Montana De Oro. The most beautiful place ever.

 Our new legit Jordan backpacks

 Reading and relaxing at Pismo Beach

 Walking through the Farmers Market/Candy store with the hot redhead

27 hours in the car was SO worth it!

Love, J.

california,

here  I come.

LOVE. J.

family.

July was kind of a special month.

I got to spend two weeks with my extended family.

One week with the Alleman side.

One week with the Szabo side.

They're both absolutely fantastic.

When I'm with them I know how important eternal families are because I feel so loved around them.

They genuinely care about me.

Just because I'm their family.

I wish that I lived close to all of them so that I could see them all the time.

I love every single on of them and I'm so blessed to be in the family that I am :)

Love, J.

guys.

I just got back from California.

A 12 hour car ride with a full car,

No sleep because of snoring cousins,

And cold water at the beach

Couldn't even ruin my trip.

Nothing could have ruined it.

It was absolutely wonderful.

I want to be back there right now.

I already miss being with all my family

and sitting on the beach reading a book.

I think a follow-up trip will have to be made asap.

Good thing my cousin is getting married in October

so that will actually happen :)

Love, J.

being in four states at one time.. priceless

Yesterday I went to the four corners. p.s. It wasn't really free. It cost $3 a person but that's beside the point. It's been one of my life long goals since I was in elementary and yesterday I checked it off my list. It was sooo much cooler than I even thought it was going to be. Not only did I get to share the experience with the Johnsons, my absolutely fantastic parents, and my best friend, Laura:), but the place itself is way sweet! I got to be in New Mexico for the first time, run in four states in less than five seconds, stand and sit in all four states, and do a push up in all four states AT ONE TIME (after Laura's example). If you can't tell, it was one of the neatest things I've ever done. Even though it was quite the drive, I would recommend everyone go there.:)
