In light of our most recent mishap, we decided to take a day to ourselves to reflect on our lives as one thus far. Thursday, after an appointment with our OBGYN and a blood test for Alicia, we headed down to Malibu to go to one of the more secluded beaches. As we laid in the sand, we thought about how much we had been blessed in our relationship with wonderful, supporting parents, friends and the rest of our family.
What a strange looking character!
She is adorable in this picture!
While at the beach, we met an interesting fellow (shown above). He was nice at first, approaching us and making small talk. However, we questioned his motives when we spotted him eyeing the bread we had brought for our sandwich lunches. Our suspicions were comfirmed when Jesse confronted him about his motives because he spread his wings and off he went. We never saw him again, but we did see much of his relatives.
Closer. . . . . .
Closer. . . . . . . . .
TOTALLY CHECKING OUT OUR BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before Alicia's powerful, non-girly throw
After. . . Incredible
We counted 947 birds total, 689 seaguls, 258 pelicans.
Alicia's wings didn't work today.
We felt bad about not giving Dodo bread so Jesse tried to feed him and his family but they all flew away.
Stupid Dodo
On a more serious note, we decided that other than the upsetting events of the morning and night previous, we had the perfect day. It was the perfect way to regroup after experiencing this difficult juncture in our young lives as a couple. We want to give out a special thanks to those friends and family members who have helped us through this difficult time.
SPRING into Action!
