hey sweetie!!!
how is everything there? i just got home, and and boy, am i going to have some
crazy stories to tell you! i sent you a postcard even though you wont get it
until later, thats ok, well i hope everything is good there, its really hot here
and i've only been here a few hours. Cali was awesome, i really wanted to stay
there another week, but i had to come back to for school.... i tried skim
boarding and fell on my butt so mant times, it was horrible! but still very fun.
this girl i met was trying to teach me and was getting very frustrated with me
cuz i couldnt get it right, everytime i fell i got a huge load of sand in my
bathing siut, it was great! Yestarday, friday, i went body boarding on the se
huge waves, it was sweet! some of them, most of them were like 5-6 ft high, it
was crazy! btu i loved it! the water was cold at first but then you got over it
when you realized you had to pay attention to the waves, or you'd get pounded,
and then another thing was to be aware of what!
your bathing suit was doing.... we wont get into that. well i'll leave you
another message later! i love you!

Love ya lots and bunches,
Missa
