A Day At the Bay :O)

Josh and I had an amazing day on Saturday. Mom and Dad had a wedding in Carmel so they dropped us off so we could go shop and visit the aquarium, It was so much fun. The weather was perfect and so was everything about Monterey...The only thing missing was Mom and Dad :O( But its okay...They picked us up and we had a fun trip home...including our little stop at Casa de Fruta!

Here is Cannery Row. I absolutely love this place. It brings back so many memories.

The Day was absolutely stunning, the water was extremely clear...almost tropical which is weird for Monterey.

Ha! we went searching for a restaurant because Josh needed to eat ;O) We thought this restaurant was hillarious! We had to take a picture.

Classic.

This was the winner! We had some yummy snapper and grilled salmon and had an awesome view of the bay.

The view from where we ate. It got a tad cloudy but I love that weather so I was happy!

If you ever have been to the Steinbeck wax musuem you know it is terrible. If you want to learn about Steinbeck go visit the Museum in Salinas...Its awesome!

John Steinbeck...One of my favorie authors, if you have never read East of Eden..READ it!

Josh thought this was hillarious...I saw a shirt I liked and was going to stop at nothing to find the right size!

Josh being dumb. LOL he wouldn't be serious so this is what he gets!

The aquarium ROCKED! I want to go back when they open the seahorse exhibit in 2009!

I had to fight a little kid to dress up like a whale. It was worth it.

Then we ended our day at Fishermans Warf. It was amazing

The day was absolutely fabulous!! Just wanted to share some pictures!! Love you all!!

This is How We Do it.

Hey Everyone!

Well, thursday was an amazing day. For those of you who do not know Josh and I are very involved with The Core, which is the church's young adult group for 18-28 year olds. we absolutely love it. I am more directly involved with the CORE club FSU, Its so awesome. Basically just representing a positive image of God through just being friendly and loving on the students. This semester we have a booth on campus which is such a blessing. I wish I would have taken photos of the other booths so you guys could see how much ours sticks out. . . HAHA! CORE is always trying to find new ways to promote our REAL LIFE DISCUSSIONS, aka R.L.D. So yesterday we decided to rock the idea of the "Silverman" basically like the silver robot guys you would see in San Fran. It was awesome!

our booth :O) It is still a work in progress, but we think it looks pretty hott!

A side view (we have a sky light at the top too!! and a screen door in the back!...That would probably mean more if you guys saw the other booths...lol)

Oh! You can kinda see our neighbors, these are all frats and soroities. We always have a little crowd hanging out at the booth, its a blast!

This is radical Rueben workin the silver. He is on the free speech platform which basically people come in and do all sorts of things. He did awesome! Love ya Rueben!

These women thought he was hillarious!

Okay, this was my favortie of the day, some random student just happened to have a metal detector and thought it would be funny to come and do this...LOL we all were laughing for awhile at this.

AWW! I love this picture, seriously without these two people The CORE club would be in trouble!

Rueben drawing a crowd!

I had to get a picture with silverman!

Then at 7 we met for our R.L.D This picture is the sign by our connect table!

Our topic for the night was "What is Truth" Every R.L.D. we have been hanging a canvas and the students get to express what they think about the subject of discussion through art.

Christian, you are amazing. Thank you for being a rock in my life. We are going to do this thing together and it is going to be awesome! I love you girl!
This is our R.L.D. we are actually in the middle in a grass area surrounded by all the dorms... It was pretty cool!!
