Catch Up

Busy season is winding down. That means I finally have a moment to breathe...whew! I am always so grateful for when the Spa gets busy. It means the things I have been putting off can finally be taken care of. Since I just celebrated my 2 year anniversary with the Spa I feel like I have a better handle on things. Not perfect, but better. I was feeling so proud of myself for tucking money away for slow season and then it was announced that the Spa would be closed for 2 weeks in August. Yep, totally closed and totally leaving me without any form of a paycheck. That's what I get for feeling proud of myself;-) My savings doesn't cover a whole paycheck! That's ok. I have learned that when I do the things I should do, the Lord provides a way. ALWAYS. I have had a few more private clients and the spa has stayed somewhat busy. We are doing better than we were last year. To me-- that is a testament to stay faithful. My body has definitely been feeling the effects of busy season. Soreness!!! I love what I do, so it's ok :-)

I got to go on a GRAND adventure.  A friend, Marie, and I attended a singles conference in Huntington Beach, CA. There were over 900 people there!!! It was truly a lot crazy. We had fun--- just see below!
Knottsberry Farm-- Good to go once, don't know that I would go again. My head can't take rollercoasters anymore.

The BEACH! Cold water!!! But so lovely!

USS Iowa. A retired battleship. This is on Catalina Island. It was neat to tour. Can't imagine being in the Navy on one of these!!!!

Huntington Beach close to sunset

Best way to get a "pedicure" walk along the beach! I think the day before when I was throwing the frisbee around I burned the bottoms of my toes! HOT sand!

Disney California Adventure. I would SO go back!! Disney may be expensive, but so worth it! LOVED IT!

Cars Land was really like walking along the "set" of the movie. They did a fantastic job!

This ride was ok... If not for a fastpass I don't know that I would have stood in line for it.

I loved the little maters!!!! So cute!
Tower of Terror was my FAVORITE! I loved it. We rode it twice. I could have ridden it all day long.
No pics of the actual conference... didn't really meet any guys... and it was just crazy. 

I went on a night hike last week. It was intense. Peralta Trail. 4.5 miles roundtrip. 1,400 ft elevation gain. At night..... I think I lose my sense of balance at night. Thank goodness I had hiking poles! Glad I did it. It was long, not knowing where I was going, but the moon rise was amazing! Wish my camera did better at night.
Me and Marie-- grateful for good friends!

Sunset on the hike





This is the night after the "honeymoon" night, but still the June full moon. Just BEAUTIFUL!
I'm grateful for the fun things I have been able to do recently. More good times to come!
