Ready, Set, Here we go!
Yesterday I got back from a fun extended weekend in San Francisco with my man. Stephen was able to go to a convention call VM World at the Mascone Center there and we fit in some fun times when he wasn't there.
A few highlights/memories from the trip are as follows:
1. My Husband – Back in February Stephen begged me to book a flight and go with him on this trip. I was extremely reluctant given the timing and all that had to go on during this time, but saw that determined look in his eyes and consented. He can be very persuasive. I had a thought run across my mind from a conversation I had on a visiting teaching visit from when I was living in Idaho Falls. My wise bishop's wife told me, "Your kids are a temporary gift given to you from your Heavenly Father, but your husband is your to keep for Eternity. Your kids are going to grow up, move away, and have their own families – and your husband will be with you by your side always." Good timing to remember this and sealed the deal. I am so flattered that my husband wants to spend time with me and begs me to be with him. I love him all the more for it! I had a great time being with my best friend. He was a true friend and even though I know he could have flown past me on the bike ride, took time to enjoy the ride and talk to me. He also offered to get a room with bathroom in it, if it really bothered me (see below). 🙂 He navigated me through the city I would have been lost in and kept me safe. He encouraged me when my IT band started buggingg me on the bike ride, and he held my hand as we walked to church and talked to me about his spiritual feelings. I just love that man. Happy I get to be with him forever.
2.. Our Hotel – The Mosser. A fun surprise was waiting for me here. I didn't know that I would be staying in a place that had a community bathroom and shower. You decide if it was a good or bad surprise. 🙂 Stephen absolutely love it and thought it was awesome, probably to counteract my shocken facial expression. I decided in the first 5 minutes to not make it be a deal breaker and enjoyed it for the most part. I'm not going to lie though, showering in a tiny room was away from my room after some other person was in there was definitely way outside of my comfort zone. I guess I am going to chalk this up there as phase one into "preparing for my future mission with my husband someday". (seriously though!) We were on the 7th floor and slept with the window open – it was very LOUD! Sirens from ambulances & police, the taxi horns, the valet whistles, people laughing loudly – definitely different than the birds, tractors, and sprinklers I usually hear. The elevator was kind of slow so sometimes we took the stairs – they were really steep. Our hotel was very charming in its own way.
 This is it – our double bed room and a sink that you can’t see. |

 I think it should be called Fishermans/Seagulls Wharf of San Francisco |
