Mazatlan whoozitlan

I really enjoyed Mazatlan! We walked everywhere and had so so much fun! It was 100% humidity and we were nice and sweaty the whole time, but we had plenty of Mexican Coke and I bought the most beautiful blanket from this cranky old Hispanic lady at the market, it was great! And Connor got pesos which he was so excited about, and Tommy got journals for his sisters and Mexican vanilla for his mom. Ally bought the most beautiful dress there too!! 

Where in the world is Cabo San Lucas

Our first port was Cabo San Lucas! Nothing could have prepared me for all the hustling we would get from every salesman in the town coming at us from all angles to sell us something. It was a bit overwhelming and the people coming to us while we sat on the beach was less so, but still kinda crazy. Speaking of the beach, oh my goodness I have never been so cozy in ocean water in my life! We all took turns staying with the stuff on the beach, but I’m so glad we brought goggles and had so much fun soaking up the sun and sand and happiness! It was wonderful! If we were to go back to Mexico, we’d just go straight to Cabo and camp out on that beach 🏖 

Shipping time

Our first two days on the boat!! 

Dude, really?

1. I built half a puzzle today! It’s the one of Italy that Teri bought me last weekend and I love it!  

2. Church was so so wonderful today and I got set apart for my new calling as a RS teacher!

3. I made chili and holy cow it was delicious! Plus Connor snuggled me a lot so that always makes for a great day! 

It’s easy as 1-2-3!

1. I worked for 11 hours today. I had a good head of steam going and I just kept plucking away. It was so nice to buckle down and start preparing for my time off. 

2. We planted pumpkins!! And zucchini!! 

3. One of my strawberries is turning red! Soon to be strawberry time in our happy little garden 😍 

This one time

Hi, my blogging app wasn’t working for awhile and then I just gave up for awhile, so now I’m back and roaring to go! 

1. I got a new calling! I’m going to be a relief society teacher! I’m so scared, but it’s going to be so great! 

2. We had Maia over for dinner and played over cooked which ended in us just laughing hysterically by the end because of the blunders we made. 

3. We took dinner the the Mcginnis’ because poor Christy is sick. I think they are really swell people. 

Brett passed away last weekend in a plane crash on his way to work in Valdez. My mom’s been in Alaska all week trying to help console Aunt Kathie. The funeral was yesterday and now she’s coming home. I’m sad I wasn’t there and sad he’s gone and sad there’s nothing I can do about either of those things, but Heavenly Father is watching out for me and using me as an instrument in his hands in many other ways. God is good, it will be alright. 

Emma, who is Emma?

1. I worked at the front desk which ended up being delightful because I worked with Jena and it was a single doc day so nice and chill. 

2. I took Connor to the store and we bought all the candy for Maia’s and Mycah and my dad, it was fun :) 

3. We watched Emma together and Connor guessed it in the first 5 minutes. It was lovely to sit around and snuggle
