After training was done my wonderful boyfriend convinced me to be spontaneous and use the two weeks i had off to visit our families... after some convincing i agreed and the next day we were on our way to California! I hate being all lovey and mushy but those 8 hours felt like 3.. hes pretty much the best person to road trip with :)
This was the first time we were going to "officially meet each others family" since we have been dating. It went really well...so well that my brothers and sisters enjoyed Adam more than me being there. Adam was a hit with Garron who never wanted to leave his side and was "determined to beat up a cop". ( me too Garron, me too) Garron also let us know while Adam was down that he wanted his wife to look just like him. Confused? welcome to the Sandkamps!
Adam and I snuck away for a day and ended up in Oceanside. I swear San Diego California will always be my favorite place!
Meeting Adams family went just as well! Meeting "the family" has always been stressful for me i have met some "winners" that have me running when it comes to taking it to the next level and getting to know the parents. Adams mom is the sweetest lady i have ever met! Watching him and his brothers was not only entertaining but really let me see Adam in a new way. ( Which is crazy since we have known each other for eight years) the love that the McDermotts have for each other is admirable. We were able to take a beach trip and go to Disneyland with them i had a blast and have never felt more at home.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Adams adorable nieces and nephew. I had so much fun playing with Madison (the oldest) she has quite the imagination and loved to talk :) Madison showed us this letter she wrote one night and had Adam and i sign it..i guess this means i got the approval from his niece? too cute!
I swear i had to be dragged back to Utah! I never wanted to leave California i have never wanted to be home as bad as i have this year. On the way back we saw one of my best friends and her family! They took us to the Tucan Theater and then we did a little hiking. They also showed us their family "Mabin" ( Cabin/Mansion) It looked like it should have been on an episode of cribs! Gorgeous! I had to laugh because even after all these years amanda is still the crazy girl i got into trouble with in high school. It was surreal watching her with her two babies and husband. Where has the time gone?
