'Strange things are happening to me...

Ain't no doubt about it.' Thats from a song, Toy Story, Randy Newman, if you were wondering. It's true, strange things have been happening to me and unfortunately since it's been almost a week since the tough mudder, you can see our video here. I really have to stop blaming the strange things on my sore body, because I'm not sore anymore. Anyway, this morning we met my Aunt and Uncle in Half Moon Bay and after breakfast I was talking to my Aunt and walked straight into a pole. Yes, a pole. What a silly place to have a pole on the side of a sidewalk, I mean, come on, I was trying to walk! One more strange thing, well, more embarrassing than strange, (Not that walking into a pole isn't embarrassing enough!) Anyway, Christofer and I spent all Thursday at the DMV getting our California licenses and I failed the written test twice, yes, twice and both times by one point, crazy! I finally took the book and read through it while we ate lunch and passed the test by two points. Yet, that was Thursday so I'm sure it had something to do with the Tough Mudder, right?

  So, today after spending time with my Aunt and Uncle and the world's cutest cousin, Makayla♥ Christofer and I chanced it and drove down to Bean Hollow State Beach to see the Blue whale that washed ashore a few weeks ago.  It was an amazing site but also very, very sad, such a huge creature. There wasn't many people there, but the ones that where there all seemed a little moved. The scripture verse that comes to mind is 'His invisible attributes are clearly seen' I just can't imagine, even with a wild imagination, that a whale came from the big bang, it was created, everything about the beautiful mammal seems to scream it.  You can read more about it here.

  Afterwards we drove back a new road and discovered once again how much we love California. It doesn't seem to matter where you drive, the views seem to just keep get better and better. It leaves you feeling completely in awe and incredibly blessed. I do believe I have fallen in love, the Redwoods, the rolling mountains, lush foliage, the magnificent waves, exotic plants, gigantic palm trees, and The Golden Coast, what's not to love? :)
