Spring Break in Utah...oh, and rainy camping on the coast!













Hello all! Happy almost April! I am so excited for General Conference this weekend! I hope it brings some sunshine. I am very vitamin D deficient right now... Last week, during my spring break, I was able to go to Utah for a few days. It was awesome! Clark had finals that week, unfortunately, and was not able to come with me :( I hung out with my family in their new house and got to see some of my friends! It was a bit cold, but at least I got some sunshine! Thank you Utah! My trip went by very fast and I was sad to leave my family. But... I got to go camping with Clark on the Oregon coast when I got back. Clark and I headed down with our good friends, the Huish's, to Cape Lookout on Friday. It was beautiful when we arrived, but about an hour after we set up our tent, it started to rain. And then it rained, and rained, and rained some more. All night long it rained. I thought we were going to float away. Finally morning came and the rain let up for about 20 minutes. We quickly took the wet tent down and hopped in the car. We then headed down the coast to Oceanside to help with the SOLV beach clean-up with other ward members. It was beautiful (and partly sunny), but super windy and cold! We didn't make it very long because we were frozen! We decided to get some tasty clam chowder and Tillamook ice cream with the Huish's. It was a really fun day, besides the ridiculous rain. I don't know about you other Oregonians, but this rain is getting to me! Augh! It has rained and rained for months. I need to start taking more vitamins because I haven't seen the sun in ages. Well, that is about it for now. I'm back in school for my last term before graduation. Yay! I'm still training for the triathlon (even though I fell down the stairs last week...long story...don't text message while walking down the stairs), and my arms are dying because of the swimming training. Clark is enjoying his spring break right now, a very well deserved break! I hope you all are having a great spring so far! Enjoy conference!

  1. The beach looks like a blast, we have not been in ages! I think I will wait until the rain stops then a camping trip is a must! And good motto on not texting while walking down stairs, I have that rule when walking in general or it is a disaster ha ha ha. Glad you got your dose of Vitamin D while in Utah, I did the same. I did not even take sunscreen and got a nice little burn, but NO complaints here, I enjoyed the sun every moment that I could. hope it starts to come out soon here...

  2. Cute pics! I definately think we need to have another camp out once the sun warms things up around here!
