Right now I am talking on the phone to Marleigh McCall Mathews. She literally makes my day ten times better whenever we talk. We met this summer in good ol' Jakey Lakey! We would stay up til the wee hours of the morning having girl talk, eating mnms and laughing our heads off. There may have been a bit more junk food that we consumed but mnms were always a must. :) I dont think that I have even had any mnms since Jakey Lakey...next time I am with McCall it is happening!!
Thankfully once we all left that wonderous place high in the mountains, nestled in the pines, we have stayed in contact and even gone on a few adventures together. The latest one was to Californ-I-A!! We traveled with some of our good friends from Jakey; Joe Day, Becca Feller and Daniel Feller. We went to Cali to see another friend with the name of Timothy Johnson.
While in Cali we hit up some fine food establishments, Del Taco and McDonalds...probably some of the most entertaining dining that I have ever had the privelage of being a part of. If you ever go to Del Taco and dont know what to get...never fear I am going to give you a wonderful suggestion...for sure always go with the breakfast burrito with the random BBQ sauce on it...nothin better than that! As for McDonalds...c'mon were all americans, Im sure you all have been there and already know the best things to get.
For one of our days we spent it lounging on the beach, and going body surfing on the waves. Well...I lounged on the beach and everyone else went body surfing because I have this weird thing called.. 'the Fear of Water!' sounds scary I know...be glad that you dont suffer from it, it hinders your 'having fun' abilities. But I was dragged in by a Huge Man, who said I had to go in! So Rude, dont you agree?? ok....so it was really just Daniel and he didnt drag me in, but he did say that I had to go in. So he was kind enough to hold my hand and keep me upright throughout the entirety of the frightening ordeal. Waves broke over me! AAAAA!!! twas a wee bit scary...well...A LOT scary. But I survived. After lounging on the beach, and taking some pictures and getting fried we decided to head off to the tide pools. Seriously some of the coolest, funnest and prettiest areas that I have ever seen/been to. It was so fun! We kept finding little hermit crabs and star fish. McCall dearly loved to poke at the sea urchins and make them close up. Daniel decided that he saw an octupus but apparently the octopus only wanted to let Daniel see him cause it would never come out for any of us to see. Tim was wonderful enough to pose for some on-the-spot modeling pictures. they turned out quit nice. Afterwords we headed off to find somewhere to fill our empty tummies and then headed back to the houses and cleaned up. What happened next will shock and stupify you all!!! We got together, sat down and pulled out...........Apples to Apples!!!....help us all what were we thinking?? (I can hear all of you gasping in horror at this right now) What all went on that night I will never be able to describe. Just picture 6 tired, crazy, off-the-wall LDS young adults playing Apples to Apples and the possibilities of what happened just start flowing. Did we happen to all die of laughter when Rosie O'Donnell was thrown down and picked as the winner?? Yes, Yes we did. Were we laughing uproariously all night long til 2 in the am? Yep, we sure were. Finally we all crept to our beds (of course us girls had to have a little girl talk before that could happen.) And McCall and I may or may not have kept each other awake talking. and then laughing when we realized we were trying to share a body pillow and then McCall getting stuck on the side of the bed while trying in vain to locate her pillow. You may ask..did she ever retrieve her beloved pillow? After much laughter and not being able to move due to being stuck, she found it! and all was well again and she could scruch her pillow all she liked.
We all awoke bright and early on a beautiful Saturday morning in Cali and tore off to the wonderful Land of Disney! It was my first experience there...my first experience on a roller coaster...my first amusement park experience ever! HOLY COW IT WAS AMAZING!!! (I feel like I need a certain picture of Tim right here, doing his crazy, excited face) Basically one of the best days ever. There may have been a few times when I was so scared, startled, terrified that I couldnt breath, like on Califoria Screamin' and the Tower of Terror. I might have been holding onto Daniel for dear life on that ride..but I would never admit it..nope, not in a million years. Cause I am tough! hahaha ok so even I dont believe that right now...so quit laughing at me. Also I, me, Sheryl Saunders who is a chicken and doesnt like to be noticed when doing crazy things. I (and McCall, Joe, Daniel and Becca) danced in the middle of a random street area in California Adventure to crazy music with people all around...i believe that we were even recorded a few times. Crazy I know...you are all having a hard time picturing me dancing just for the fun of it in front of a million people i dont know but I did it!
Basically, what I am saying through all of this is that if you are going to California and want to have the best time Ever than be sure to take McCall, Joe, Becca, Daniel and Timothy with you. Basically the best and most amazing people in the world. Trust me. I know these things. Im just smart like that.
This Long Epistle/Novel is dedicated to Marleigh McCall Mathews, the one who got me to write my very first entry for my blog instead of just putting up more pictures. Love you Call! :)
ps.- Im sorry but all of the Amazingness that occured on this weekend was not able to be recorded because it was just so......Amazing that it couldnt be put into words.
