Ensenada

Day 3:

We made it to the port in Ensenada, Mexico and were excited for a nice warm sunny day in Mexico.  Oh wait... did I say warm??  It was once again so cold and windy which made it worse.  But I would have to say we all still had a great time.  We decided for the excursion to head to the blow hole called "La Bufadora."  There are only three of them in the world that are similar to this one and it was pretty fun to see.  We also decided to go to the flea market and the beach.

Our first stop was the flea market, it just had tons of shops and food places of which people are trying to sell you anything and everything.  The best part is to try and make them go lower with the price, it's fun!  The boys loved that part and bought so much stuff.  Justin and i stuck with our magnet, a coconut to drink and a belt.  We were good with that!





The next part we went to was La Bufadora.  It was pretty cool to see and the ocean looked so beautiful!!






We then hopped in the bus and headed to the beach.  Jess, Jesse & I decided not to get in, but the rest of the boys did it.  They said they didn't want to come all the way to Mexico and not get in the ocean.  I was fine to pass considering it was freezing outside.  I was entertained though watching them in the ocean!



Don't let us forget the little boy trying to sell us food in his cart.  I think the food had been sitting there for months, but Jess was kind enough to buy some gummy worms which they claimed tasted soapy.  Hmmm interesting...


After a long day of being wind blown and worn out we headed back to the ship for some dinner (which was amazing once again) and went back to our room to the cute towel character!

5 years since dads death, 5 lessons learned.

-
Today marks five years since my dear dad passed away.  Five years?! To say it's been an easy five years would be a complete lie.  But to say that the last five years have been completely miserable would be a lie, too.  I've experienced tender mercies of the Lord all along the way. Since it's been five years, I want to share five important lessons I've learned since my dads death. God loves us perfectly "Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely.  Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly.  Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely." - Dieter F Uchtdorf I often hear of people who, once something bad happens in their life,  blame everything on God.  They truly believe that if such a thing could happen in their life, then God must not love them.  I am here to tell you that that is a complete lie! I see how the easy way out for me would have been to believe that God didn't love me...

Perfect at Trying

-
I loved the movie "Meet the Mormons" that recently came out in theaters. I especially love the song that David Archuleta sings called "Glorious" that gives me goosebumps. What I love the most about this movie is a quote by the "Humanitarian" that says: "I am perfect in one thing, I am perfect in trying."  This is how I feel as well. There are days where I try so hard and despite my efforts fall short, there are days that I try so hard and things fall perfectly into place just the way I had imagined. No matter the outcome, what's important is that I keep trying. A few months back I wrote a post called "Perfectionism" and the struggle I face almost daily.  I feel like because of social media, people get a wrong idea of our lives. Most people only post the best things happening in their lives and leave out all the hard, negative moments that we each face daily. It's easy to play the game of comparison and wonder why everyone else h...

Perfectionism

-
Keep in mind:  This is very personal for me, but it was quite therapeutic to write this all down and to share with others. I hope that by me sharing it can help at least one person out there. There have been a few points in my life where I have really needed to make a big choice.   This isn’t just the little choices or decisions we all make on a daily basis, but a big choice.   Over the last what seems like couple years I have really struggled with something… something that has consumed my thoughts and actions.   Something that has crippled me at times, which has made me not want to even leave my house.   I am learning that many people out there struggle with this same thing called “perfectionism.”   This isn’t the perfectionism that we all think of, but more of a deep, dark pit of despair that I found myself in. I was such a perfectionist that I was never good enough for myself.   I’d look in the mirror and something wa...
