well, sort of...
first of all, i flew home to maine on wednesday! longest. day. ever. my flight left from salt lake city at 11:05 am, and i didn't get to portland until 12:30 in the morning on thursday! ok, so i did have 2 layovers, plus there's a 2-hour time difference, but still. it was brutal.
then, on friday, my parents and i drove down to boston {well, technically belmont} to visit the lds temple as part of my preparation for a mission. it is seriously such a beautiful place, and i'm so glad i got to go with friends and family.
we spent most of the day saturday at the beach just down the street from their house, which basically made my life! i absolutely love the beach, and it was seriously perfect weather, so i couldn't have been happier. except maybe if i'd had my bathing suit...we weren't expecting such summer-like temperatures, so i ended up having to wear a t-shirt and jeans and call it good. not ideal, but i can't complain.
they also have a little boy {with awesome flaming-red hair...love it} who i played with most of the time, which was so great. if you haven't noticed, i love kids...haha so it worked out really well. he got to be the "boss of the beach," meaning he pretty much ordered around his mom and i in constructing a castle village {cause no one builds just one castle anymore...}. of course, he got a little carried away with his toy bulldozer every once in a while, so the fruits of our labors didn't last long, but it was still fun overall so i guess i'll let it slide.
i love vacation.
ps: i haven't forgotten about my killer music marathon, even though you might have by now...
i promise i'll be back on track tomorrow!
I'm sure your bathing suits are fulfilling their potential in my basemenet without you.
