Nothing Comes Close to the Golden Coast

I have concluded that I am and will truly always be a California girl. Don't get me wrong. I love seeing and experiencing all these new places, but my heart craves for an ocean during the summer. I absolutely LOVE being at the beach! And the desire of my heart came true this past weekend because Daniel actually had the weekend OFF! Some of you might not understand the rarity of a weekend off in the baseball world, but during the baseball season... they are hard to come by! Usually at most during the season, the guys will get 2 or 3 days off a month and that's never together unless it's the all-star break. So we were so excited when we found out we were actually going to be able to visit HOME! The drive to Cali from Arizona is only about 4 and a half hours and we've done it countless times, so it's easy breezy to us! 

Friday night, we got to go on a triple date with our best friends. We saw the movie Snow White and the Huntsman, which I actually really liked. Saturday, we went to Santa Barbara with my in laws and celebrated my brother in laws birthday at the beach and then out to dinner with him and his wife. I also got to catch up with my sweet friend Stacie who just gave birth to her precious little boy a couple months ago. So got to meet and hold her precious little guy. Sunday, spent more time with our best friends, got to visit Daniel's grandparents then spent the night eating my dad's famous spaghetti and meatballs and having a game night with my fam. We headed back Monday and I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. 

Never would I have thought we'd be able to be home in California during the middle of a baseball season. I would have never wished for it to come the way it did, but I am thankful for these sweet little blessings in the midst of our circumstance. It was a great time at home with our family and friends.

With sweet lil Levi
