We have seen a few things!
We are on day three and we haven't killed each other! GOALS! Honestly, we are having the time of our lives. It has been a lot of driving to get here but we couldn't be happier to spend 4 days on San Onofre beach in California. Now, we know that the weather isn't going to be the best but we will adjust.
I want to back up a bit and talk about the last few days. On day one, we drove to Van Horn, Texas. In case you are wondering....there isn't much there. We literally pulled into a RV park, parked, slept, woke up, and left. And didn't look back mostly because there wasn't much to look back on. So, on the second day we drove straight to Yuma, AZ. And if you have ever driven through this desert metropolis, you would say that there is no reason to stop. But I would have to argue with you! There is one reason to stop here. THE PEOPLE!! We lived here for 6 years while Sean was in the Marines and we have friends here that are like family. It is a hot and dusty land but the relationships with these amazing souls will forever quench our spirits. And it didn't disappoint. We left on Monday morning and headed straight to the beautiful ocean that always calls to me.
Along our way in life there are always going to be places that we want to visit, historical sites we want to experience, views that we want to fill our memories with, but it's the relationships that move us. It's the people that God puts in our lives that we carry with us. I want to encourage you today to go out and make a friend. Establish or reestablish relationships. Don't be afraid. These are the humans that will change you from the inside like I have been changed. It can be scary and sometimes messy, but in the end you will have someone in your court. A person who will help you carry a burden, someone to laugh with, to cry with, and to grow with. Sean and I have been blessed beyond measure by people that we are so privileged to call friends, well family!
