hello cambria, hello 2015

Well, friends, here we are in the year 2015. So futuristic sounding.

Last week we had my twin sister, her husband and my nieces in town. It was such a good time. The cousins played plenty of video games, played at the park, we ate out, had epic boggle competitions and just enjoyed each other.

We spent Friday in Cambria. It’s about 45 minutes up the coast from San Luis Obispo and it’s gorgeous. The mountains meet the sea and it’s breathtaking. We ate lunch at Moonstone Bar and Grill and then walked the path alone the ocean. After a little park play, we headed home for pizza and a movie.

It’s a brand new week and it’s a brand new year. How about some hellos?

***Hello Monday is where I greet the new week with an open heart and a fresh perspective. It’s a new beginning–and there’s so much to be thankful for! Join me by leaving your own hellos in the comments section or linking up a hello monday post there!***

Hello cousins. It’s awesome to play, lounge, fight, create and be silly.

Hello epic synchronized swing jumping. Awesome.

Hello twin. We are identical–which means we were once the same egg that split into two. I literally feel like she is part of me. She understands my heart like no one else.

Hello back in the car and on our way home. Pizza and lounging with blankets and popcorn while watching a movie made for the perfect end to the day!

Hello back to school today. Kids are moderately excited. I am THRILLED. I kinda love our regular routine. Breaks are super fun and then I love to get back into the schedule.

Hello thinking about goals and dreams for 2015. I have some share tomorrow.
