Hermosa Days

So, Sunday after my tournament was a fun, relaxed day. I made some breakfast casserole (thank you Courtney for the yummy recipe) Saturday night so Sunday morning I had some friends over to share it with me! After that, Scott and I had a fun time just hanging out and relaxing until he had to leave for baseball. That afternoon I ended up going to Yorba Linda to see Ashley Engle, my friend and old teammate at UT. Her family had me and some of her other friends over for some really awesome bbq!!! It was great to catch up and see her family as well.

Monday was another relaxed day. It had kind of been a busy weekend so I slept in and just hung out with Scott. That afternoon I got to go to lunch with Al Lau, my boss from my AVP internship last summer! It was so fun to catch up with him and just see what's going on in the volleyball world from his point of view! After that, I picked Mr. Lonergan up at the airport and we headed down to Long Beach to watch Scott pitch. It was fun to catch up with Mr. Lonergan and it's always exciting when Scott gets to pitch! The game was entertaining and the 3 of us went and ate a 24 hour diner because everything is always closed by the time their games end! 

Tuesday morning I had an early practice with Nancy Mason and two other girls. Normally, we have 4 girls there to work out but we only had 3 on Monday so it was a gnarly (I'm trying to use some California lingo, I still think it sounds weird coming from me haha) work out! In all seriousness though, it was a really intense work out and it felt really good! Scott joined me at my practice and got to join in for our warm up. After we finished playing our warm up game, Nancy said, "Ok, everybody warm?" and the 3 girls reply with an out of breath "yes", and Scott replies with an "I'm done!" Haha, at least he appreciates that my job is hard! :) After the practice we went for breakfast at Uncle Bill's. Uncle Bill's is a famous breakfast place in the area that has been around for about 50 years! If you come to Hermosa/Manhattan area, you definitely need to grab breakfast there one day! 

One of Scott's teammates lives in Manhattan Beach and recommended another great breakfast place, the North End Cafe. Scott and I and his teammate, Justin Segal, all met at the North End. Segal gave us some good recommendations and Scott and I enjoyed doing our favorite thing together, yes, eating. Wednesday evening, I met up with Segal's girlfriend, Caitlin, and we carpooled down to the baseball game. I figured it might be nice if I showed up since they are out of town for the next week! After the game we got to go out and meet up with some of the guys which was fun!

And today, I've spent some quality time watching 24, cleaning up the apartment, running errands and working out! Tonight, I went to my friend Adrianna's going away dinner. She is going back home to Dallas for the rest of the summer. It was very sad because I've had a lot of fun hanging out with her but I'm pretty jealous she'll be in Texas :)

Bye for now!!
