Westcoast Sunshine

Secret of Life #1. Beach (preferrably in somewhat close proximity of the equator, or at least south of Idaho) Vacays.

You were GREAT! And for so many reasons.

Let's begin with...


  • Studying on the airplane without any sensation of motion sickness (a definite FIRST).

  • Connecting in Oakland for the journey down to La-La land and forgetting my usual frustration of airline proclaimed "nonstop" flights due to the beautiful greenery and red tiled roofing.

  • Hour(+) nap on Huntington Beach, baking in the sun.

  • Jessica's "hypoglycemic" episodes

  • Swollen eyes in the morning from sunburn on the eyelids. (ice packs to defer the damage).

  • Proclaimed as the University of Utah basketball team in Sharkeez bar, and everyone believing it. With four 5'10"(+) women in the company, who wouldn't?

  • Jogging RIGHT next to the ocean.

  • Old geezers. Everywhere. Loving us. In turquoise blue Chrysler Sebrings.

  • Dairy Queen ice cream cones to allow exchange of dolla' bills for quarters, to feed 10mins=25cent parking meters.

  • BYU Men's Volleyball vs. Pepperdine for NCAA Final Four qualification.

  • BYU Men's Volleyball players.

  • Gorgeous sunsets. With BYU Men's Volleyball players.

  • Dancing with Julie, in african drum-beat fashion.

  • Purchasing a $6 gumball bag. And not thinking twice about it.

  • Sunburns and tan lines.

  • Best friends.


Secret of Life #2. Southwest Airlines.

Your tight airplane seating quarters, measley peanut bag snacks, and seating me last due to a Rapid Rewards 'free flight' voucher redemption is completely counteracted by cheap flights and extra money in my pocket to make my beach vacays possible. Thank you. I hope to see you again very soon. What are your plans for Memorial Day weekend?

Secret of Life #3. Foreign Relations.

I have none. But greatly appreciate the fact that a patient AND a respiratory therapist think I do. Don't let the newly darkened skin and supposed 'foreign accent' fool you. I am still caucasian. And still from Idaho.
