Blaine and Carrin

Blaine and I were married on Aug. 10, 1982 in the Los Angeles Temple. We have 7 children. I gave birth to 4 and then we adopted a sibling group of 3. We love all of our children so much!! We now have 6 grandchildren. I love the ocean and Catalina is one of my favorites places. Blaine loves the mountains and fishing and hunting, he also loves Catalina. I have traveled across the US on the southern route. We went to college in Rexburg, Idaho when we first got married.

A real Vacation Day


So you know all those vac days I need to take, use it or lose it, well those random vac days usually consist of cleaning my house and running errands etc. Not this time. I left early this morning and went down to Huntington Beach to swap cars with Quinn, I have his he had mine. Well he took me downtown in Huntington Beach. What a beautiful little city, we parked in the parking structure then walked to BJ's for lunch then walked out on the pier, yes I got to see the ocean. It is a beautiful beach with white sand stretching in both directions for miles. At the end of the pier we could see a land mass way out on the horizon, it was Catalina Island! The weather was gorgeous, about 78 with a cool ocean breeze. Just wish it was so crowded in the summer. It took me 4 hours to get home due to the horrible LA traffic, bumper to bumper for miles. I had a great day though and loved getting to spend some time with Quinn.

I should actually enjoy the fact we live close to the beach, and go there myself for a vacation. That would be nice.
