Weekend Recap

The weekend in Del Mar, San Diego was just what I needed. Bryan and I had some amazing time enjoying the beach right out our hotel window, yummy meals on the water, and good times with friends. Friday night we went to dinner at a wonderful restaurant right next to our hotel (it was actually a motel, but not shabby at all). We sat facing the setting sun and shared several appetizers. It was nice to share a meal that wasn't rushed, where we could talk about our life, our goals, and reminisce on the past four years of our relationship. I forgot my camera this weekend, but I found a pic that reminds me of our view on Friday night

Saturday we woke up and headed back to the restaurant for some brunch. We waited about an hour and a half for some of Bryan's friends to show up (which ordinarily would've put Bryan in a bad mood, but since it was our vacation he didn't let it bother him) and just sat out by the beach with some coffee. After brunch, we walked around Del Mar for a bit and headed back to the room to get ready for the wedding. Here are some pictures of our hotel

Here's what I took away from this weekend:

-I need to try to enjoy the ride instead of just looking ahead to what will be life when we accomplish this or that

- On that same note, it's important to take time and some money to have fun any chance you get

- Bryan and I may not have as much as others, but we have a marriage built on deep friendship, love, and mutual respect- our lives will be good no matter what because it is not, and never has been, dependent on material things

- I think I have about 5 weeks left of actual classes and that I can handle!
