Vacation!

   So, California was great. Had tons of fun! We went to Monterey and had some yummy clam chowder and a cool new sweatshirt. And then my mother in law, brother in law, his girlfriend, Seth and I went to the Aquarium. Sooo much fun!!! I love the Aquarium!

 I also helped my mother in law and bro in laws girlfriend babysit their cousin for over a week. That little girl is sooo cute! She was well behaved and grew quiet attached to us. It's amazing what homemade play doh will do...

   While I was down in California, I drove down to L.A. area to help move a friends stuff back to Hollister. I was lots of hard work and lots and lots of driving. It was super fun playing with my mom when we made some homemade strawberry jam and planting some bell peppers and onions. I am super happy to have a little garden to care for! Sister Butler also made me a super cute apron. Love it!

   A running joke in my family is that I am the only person who is 5'9" with a short person complex. Well, it hasn't gotten any better this trip. My baby sister is taller then me, and my baby brother is only about an inch shorter then me... I can't help it. I look up to everyone.

   I also got my hair dyed to a Cinnamon color. Love it! I pretty just loved my whole trip and everything about it. I think that is all the main high lights from the trip. I have pictures, but I can't find the cord that plugs into the computer, so they may be showing up later.

    But a sore funny story is; last night, after filling the dishwasher, I closed the door, I then started to pivot and walk to the other side of the dishwasher. Little did I know, the dishwasher door didn't want to stay shut. I proceeded to fall on and over the dishwasher. Seth and Kent heard me squeek and hit the floor... I was sitting there, dazed, trying to figure out what happened, what I hurt, and whether or not I wanted to cry or laugh. I did a little of both in the end. Unfortunately, I bruised my right forearm, hurt my lower back and my left shoulder blade (the one where I broke my color bone in 8th grade). I am now debating if I should go see a doctor. Until then, IB Profin is by best friend.

    We also have been doggie sitting our friends Pit Bull Roxie for the past week. She is so freaking cute! She has fit right in with my dogs. They are all best friends now and have loved playing together. Sad to see her going home tonight. She has been a riot.

   That's about it for now. Love ya lots!

I'm ok. I did hot and cold packs, and laid flat on my back for a day. Didn't see a Dr., but I am feeling much better. Thanks for the concern
