Home is wherever I'm with you

A little update, no pictures, just me. Here I am in the golden state without my golden boy. He is in Guatemala and el Salvador on a mission/surfing trip with brother Luke, and I am in California hanging out with both our families.

I graduated from college a week from Friday, that was grand. Right after the ceremony I had to say goodbye to Dave as he left for 2 and 1/2 weeks for his trip. Bittersweet day right? It's been a little test of my parasympathetic nervous system and how I calm myself down when I get emails that read "we don't know where we are gonna sleep tonight" or "this place is getting sketchier by the day" or "we got off at the wrong stop and ended up in zone 9 which is the sketchiest zone in Guatemala." comforting? Not really. He must have used the word sketchy about 15 times in that one email, and for Dave to admit something is sketchy I know its gotta be 10x worse than what I would call sketchy. They are now back in el Salvador and actually have a place to sleep at night, which makes me feel better. Overall, I know he is so so so happy and having some great experiences. That makes it all worth it to me. Can't wait to have him back though!

In the mean time I plan on keeping myself super busy with surfing, day trips, Catalina, family time, sewing on my new sewing machine (sweetest graduation gift from Dave!) and other things. Please let me know if you want to do something, for the first time in many years I have absolutely no plans!
