La Jolla Shores and San Diego Temple

On Friday, Joseph took us to La Jolla Shores where he had taken the girls just a week before. The water was a beautiful, clear color and the sand was so nice and.....I don't know...fluffy? It felt good, even to me the girl who doesn't love sand.
Living so close to the beach gives us many opportunities to explain to the girls appropriate and inappropriate behavior and dress. I caught Abby staring at quite a few scantily dressed young women, and I said to her, "Abby, don't you ever even think of coming to the beach in something like that or I will come and drag you home by your piggy tails!" :)



Mom and Dad watched the kids while Joseph and I did a session at the San Diego temple in La Jolla. When we arrived, I reached into my bag and then into my purse for my recommend and realized that I left it in my scripture case at home. They had to call my current and former bishop, but we were were able to make it for the last session of the evening. It was so nice to be there. Getting to spend time at the beach and this temple makes me feel happy to be living here.

Mom and Dad left Saturday morning and then we had the treat of hosting Joseph's sister, Michal , along with her husband Matthew and their kids, for some homemade Cafe Rio. They were visiting SoCal for their spring break. The kids loved having cousins over to play with. We loved having them in our home and were sad when they left. It was a great spring break!

We've taken a few vacations where we stayed in a condo in La Jolla. It is my absolute favorite place to go to the beach. I'm so jealous you guys live there!

When I found out you were moving to So Cal, my first thought was that you'd get to go to the San Diego temple. I would love to go there and do a session. That is one of my FAVORITE temples. I am so glad you were able to and didn't miss out on that.
