Caaaaliiiiforrrrniaaa!!
Max and I flew out to the bay area for my twin cousins graduation from high school. Those young men are my closest cousins and I had to be there on their big day, and was so giddy that Max wanted to come a long. My entire mom's side of the family is in California, so it was a great trip to see family and introduce Maxwell to them.
They're giant!! Congratulations Josh and Jacob! I love you!!
Day 1, we spent it with the family, getting things together for graduation and our family cook out. I loved seeing Max with my family and felt slightly bad for him during the "interrogation" time from my uncles and grandpa. After dinner we went on a walk in the beautiful 70 degree weather.
Day 2,I woke up singing "let's go to the beach beach!! let's go get away!"....we spent the day on the road with the twins and Sidney (Josh's gf) and went shopping at outlet malls in Gilroy. They don't have SONIC in Sunnyvale so while in Gilroy, the gang demanded we stop at SONIC for their rare sonic time. haha max and i found it funny.
After Gilroy, we went to my favorite boardwalk...Santa Cruz!!
Oh such a fun day! We were exhausted when we got home!! While I showered and read my scriptures, max and the boys hit the gym for some male muscle time. Loved it!
Day 3. "I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO"...oh boy, I LOVE MY CITY BY THE BAY!! And i'm so happy Max's first time there was with me and my fam bam :)
Before hitting the pier, we went to Muir Woods and did a family hike. Don't worry, I only made it up about a mile. I AM FATTY TOWN!!
There was poison oak every where! Kinda cool. Not a fan of the spiders. yucka!! After our family hike, we went to Pier 39 and ate at San Fran's Hard Rock. I LOVE MY FAMILY! Soooo happy I got to spend my day with my family and my love.
Finally, came Sunday...the day we returned home. That morning we ate at the most famous chinese restaurant in the bay area, Chef Chu's with my grandma and aunt. Then before we knew it, we were back in the miserable heat.
We came home to my family sunday dinner and after, we watched Extreme makeover: weight loss edition with my parents. what an amazing few days and end to a great trip!!
I know I love maxwell with all my heart. After this trip it felt so nice seeing him love my family and feel so at home. I look at Max and smile because I have no idea how Heavenly Father found the most perfect guy for me. He just gets me. And when we have our occasional PMS moments, he has patience with me and we grow and learn together.
waking up to messages like those are the moments that make my heart literally smile. There are countless text messages and phone calls similar to this picture, It just happened to be a recent one. it's the little things that make me weak in the knees, this boy is incredible!!
I know whoever reading this (if anyone at all, i know it's lengthy, so if you're here then YAY YOU!) may be like "oh i've been there" or "who cares!"...regardless, I'm happy and i love being happy at other's happiness. I hope you are happy :)
I love this man.
This was precious Darlene! I like him for u! You definitely need someone who understands and loves your weirdness ;). I loved reading this. It reminded me of when Alex and I were dating (although, we were married after 6 months of dating... So get on it =)) Pretty soon y'all will be married, and going to the bathroom in front of each other and telling him you can't make out right now cuz his breath smells like salsa. So enjoy this time together! Ps, yay for Japanese boys!! They're the best ones.... Especially the halfies =). LOVE YOU!
