I've entitled my entry 5 dollars because my sweet younger brother B-rad who lives several states away told me that he would pay me 5 dollars to update my blog. I won't really collect but I figured that if my family was resorting to bribes it must mean that it's time to update. This past weekend I took a trip to Cali to visit my brother B-rad in the OC and my sister Michelle in Catalina. The trip was incredible. The weather was spectacular, the company was excellent, and the ocean was amazing. We ate out at all my favorite restaurants and visited with some of my favorite people (sadly i'm never there long enough to visit all my favorite people). So the man to the left of me in the picture is my boyfriend, Jorge. He came with me on the trip. We both had credits on different airlines that we needed to use and so visiting and staying with family seemed like the most economical way to use it. For all the curious minds out there we have only been dating for a few months. We are in the same ward in Boise. He really is a great guy!
