I decided that it's been too long since my last post. I'm definitely still working on the whole "consistency" thing with blogging! Bear with me!
Here is a little update of this past month. Sorry for the lack of pictures...i'll make up for it next time :)
We had some friends from APU (Josh, Brad, and Paige) come spend the weekend with us! It was so great to be able to see them again and just spend some good ol' quality time together. We hung out, laughed, watched Dispicable Me, laughed some more, ate a lot of food, spent an afternoon at the beach (football, frisbee, volleyball, and chatting on the lifeguard stand), and spent a few hours getting bargains at the Camarillo Premium Outlet! All in all, it was some much need quality time with 3 of our best friends!
The following weekend we headed to APU for the day, so we started it off with breakfast at Flappy Jacks (just like any APU student would). It was the five of us again plus Calli (my sister) too! We got to spend the day spending some more time with each other and watching the APU women's volleyball team. It was great sitting beside Calli who was going, "whoaa...nice dig libero", "oh yeah she got there", "i like watching her", "aw man, i really wanna play now"! hahaha We were both having the same thoughts and feelings about missing that sport that is a crucial part of our being now. ;) Volleyball will forever run in the McLellan blood and be a part of our lives! I LOVE IT!
Our weekends are usually pretty full with people coming to visit us, or us going to visit someone else. HOWEVER, we finally made friends with our neighbors a couple weeks ago!!!! Seriously, you have no idea how ecstatic we were! We all did taco Tuesday and had dinner together out in the common area of our apartment. It was so refreshing to meet 2 couples who are just a couple years older than we are. We're planning to do some other fun fall outings together, but ultimately it is just so nice to know that we have a few friends where we live! We also found a church that we have started to go to. They have a few young married couples small groups that we really want to get connected with as well. I'll keep you posted on our social life and friend status. ;)
Earl and Cindy (Bo's parents) came to visit us a couple weekends ago for the day! Bo and I went on a short hike to a dried up waterfall about 15 min from our place, which was pretty fun, and then we spend the afternoon as the 4 Bowmans. Once again we hit up the outlet mall. It's quite the legit place to check out, so if you ever come to visit us, we can take you there too! After they left, Bo and I were talking about how great it is to spend time with family! We both love our families so much and cherish each moment we get to spend with them all!
Speaking of family, last weekend we got to have Brad and Shellie Bowman to our place for the first time. We all went to the David Crowder concert in Hollywood on Saturday night. They are on their final tour, so we couldn't miss it. The concert was phenominal, including the 3 opening acts (John Mark McMillan, Chris August, and Gungor)! The ONLY downside was that we were standing for a total of somewhere between 5 and 6 hours!!!! UUUggghhh! It was general admission standing room only. It was a great spot because we were close to the stage, but man were we all feeling five times our age when our knees kept screaming at us to give them one little break! haha None the less, it was a super fun night and we only wish that we all could have hung out more.
In case you haven't realized it yet....hanging out with us can be pretty sweet! ;) hahaha just kidding! Well, hopefully it is enjoyable for people, so let us know if you're ever in the area and we'll be glad to show you around!
Thankful wife,
Abby
