Sunday July 13th

i had a wonderful time with sharon, steve, ruth, kevin, kaela and becca! it was so great to get to see them! of course it seemed way to short. i met steve and sharon at their house and we headed out to pick up some lunch and head to the beach. and because they are amazing friends, we went to my favorite beach in the world! we had lunch and played smash ball - my new addiction! i bought one before i came home. i LOVE it. it's like ping pong but without the table. we played for a long time up in the grass on the bluff and then went down to the sandy part of the beach. it was so wonderful to spend time with them. kaela and becca are little surfer girls who you would think were southern california girls from birth! they are the future oakley and roxy models!

after the beach we went to Cherry On Top, my favorite ice cream place! you do your own soft serve and then add toppings as you want them and then pay by the weight. they have the tart yogurt like pinkberry and i LOVE it! you can't get that in indiana! steve thinks i should open one near notre dame. i think we'd make a killing if i did!

after that we hung out a bit at the hughes' house and then went to dinner. it was so great to spend time with my friends that i miss so much! and to think that we met all because we both had dogs! i miss them terribly and i am sure that i will live close to them again...
