Beach Bum Visitors

This weekend one of my best friends and another dear friend came to visit us here in the desert! They are stationed at Pendleton (for those of you that aren't familiar with that base....it's sitting on the Pacific Coast Line so they are practically on top of the beach) and so coming out here (to the desert) in the summer was a shock to their system (weather wise). It was such a blast seeing them and hanging out. Emma stayed with us and Julie stayed with our friends the Farmer's. We hung out and relaxed for a bit when they first arrived and then Saturday night we went to Christine's for a little get together so everyone could hang out and meet/see Noah! It was a full house, but it was a blast! Along with Emma and Julie, Christine's family, the Farmer's, Erica and her girls, Carolyn and her daughter, as well as Diana and her son were there. The kids had such a wonderful time playing together and it was a great time to just hang out and have fun. After the get together, Emma came back over and we watched the women's gold medal match in volleyball since it was the US vs Brazil (where Emma's from) and this time her team came out the top dog! But....Sunday night we came out on top when the men's team also played Brazil for the gold!!! Anyway, on Sunday we went to church and then came back and had a little brunch...quiche and fruit salad, before it was time to say good-bye until we get to hang out again. Emma and Julie, sorry we live in the armpit of California, but... I'm so glad that you guys drove out for the weekend! It was nice to see you and catch up in person and I can't wait to see guys again in September!!!
