This is the back yard (okay like 1/8th of it). The house my parents moved into for the summer is so beautiful! The location is great, it is on this really large mountain with a lot of greenery (as you can tell) You can see some of the city from their back windows, and can see the lights of Tiajana at night. It is really going to be a great place for them to be these next three years, and I am excited about it!
Dad is already feeling pretty overwhelmed about this job. So is mom, but you can just see on his face that he was grateful for a little time to spend with his kids and grandkids at Sea World. We were able to go on Tuesday to Sea World and it was so much fun! I love seeing the dolphins, whales, and otter shows, along with all the other fun animals and park rides. It is a really fun place to take children, and adults, of all ages because there is always something fun to do! We had a good time.
On the fourth of July we were able to spend the day with Paul and Danielle and their kids at Balboa Park... we rented a bike that had 6 seats (the name is escaping me...) and took it around the park to explore it. There is so much to do there! It most famously is where the Zoo is located, but it also has a natural history museum, a space museum, a lot of small arts and crafts shops, and the largest organ in the city! It is a fun place to picnic and just spend the day walking around a beautiful place. After that we went to Fashion Valley mall, the most high end mall I have been to, but it was really fun to see stores like Bloomingdales, Tiffany and Co, True Religion, Barney's, Anthropologie, Nordstroms, H & M etc. all in the same mall. We spent the night with the senior couples out at the military base by the coast. We had a barbeque and enjoyed the fireworks over the peer. It was a great fourth of July! We are so lucky to live in America. I feel that way more now than I ever did before after having spent so much time out of the country. We are so blessed to have the clean air laws that we do, to be able to spend our time together with our families so close, to be able to have all of the freedoms we do, and the ability to become very successful through hard work. Freedom is an amazing thing, and I am so grateful to all of the service men out there who through the ages have made the country of the United States of America a possibility. I am so grateful, and blessed, to be able to spend the rest of my summer in San Diego serving my parents, and serving the Lord. Their call has already become such a blessing to all of us, and I am positive that they will do well with it. Keep up with the mission here at

Thanks so much, Kelsey for the link to your parents blog. Thanks for setting it up for them. I was worried we wouldn't know what they were doing for the next three years. I will be checking back often. You and your sister have been jewels in helping them get settled. Love you!
