This weekend marked the longest time I have ever been away from my wifey. Initially, I thought, if my wife is gone I get to lounge around and do whatever
I want. It wasnt much later that I realized how different my life is without my wife. For example: the most complicated meal I prepared this past weekend was a tuna fish sandwich, followed closely by cereal. I realized how difficult it was to be motivated to wake up when you dont have that special someone to spend the rest of the day with. In addition, I got a flash back to what it is like to be single and go to church by yourself. How single people remain happy is impressive to me, after only three days without her. So you might think that I wallowed in my own pathetic lonliness this past weekend, but whether it was at the urging of my wife or not, I did receive company from Corinne's cousins, and my friends, Brandon and Marie Miller (as shown in the photo below). Our journey began with a car drive through Marin county toward the tip of Drakes Bay. While the picture captures some of the beauty of the surrounding area, it doesnt capture the 40 mph winds that threatened to rip the shirt off my back and carry me back to Lafayette.
Following our travels in that area and a quick stop along a beach, we made our way to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Its on trips like this to historical landmarks that foreigners seem to appreciate our beauty more than our own natives.
To finish up my weekend alone and anticipating my wifes arrival at the Oakland airport I made a quick stop to the Oakland temple (a.k.a. my wife's workplace).
